My hairstylist gave me this book to read while I was under the driers getting a deep conditioning treatment.

The authors claim that curly girls and boys have fewer follicles producing natural oil on their scalp, and thus have drier scalp skin and should never, I repeat NEVER use shampoo. They claim that the simple physical action of scrubbing your scalp is enough to clean it, and that sudsy products are bad, bad, bad.

I tried their No-Poo, which is a “conditioning cleanser” without any foaming action, and I have to say my scalp has never felt better. I used to think I had dandruff; my scalp was dry and sometimes flaky. (But no more.)

I’m not committed to the rest of their products, but I have to say I’m liking this no shampoo thing.
