In summary: He stopped washing his hair with any products and started using just cold water, in an effort to help with his dandruff problem. Overall seems to have worked for him. Seemed mildly interesting to me.

Not actually NSFW, but I tagged it because the thumbnail is a close-up of some pretty severe dandruff, and there’s a few seconds of video in the middle where he shows the condition of his scalp before quitting shampoo. Just thought I’d mention, in case that makes you squeamish.

    I have met two people who used water only on their hair, never washing just rinsing, no conditioner no products. Both had the same sort of hair, curly, fine textured (thin individual hairs) medium density and they did fine. Their hair looked great.

    My hair looks exponentially better weighed down with conditioner and with some styling gel, and I honestly enjoy styling it, so I wash mine. Same with skincare, I had to avoid everything but water for awhile in my 20s (got sensitized) and my face didn’t like that either, but was happy once I could moisturize it and wash it without it freaking out (thank you CeraVe soap that is not soap). Now I have a good routine and it’s maintaining so well.

    Mostly just wanted to say yes I know some water only no waste individuals and they don’t stink and look normal, you wouldn’t know to look at them, water is enough to clean them.
