How I did it: Just stopped washing with shampoo 2 months ago. I can officially say that my hair's "balanced" its oils out. I used to have very dry hair, so dry that when i went to the hairdresser they told me my hair had the texture of my mothers. This might not mean much to somebody who has not seen my mother's hair... but I can tell you that she's known for her frizzy dry hair. Since i've started not washing my hair, it's softer than I ever imagined it could be! I go around the school telling my friends to pet me and they are in awe. It feels like silk, but doesn't look greasy anymore. Also, I swear it grows an inch every single morning.

The first two weeks weren’t that bad for me because I

didn’t wash my hair much the month before, around once a week, so I

eased into it. I still went through a period where my hair smelled

horrible and was rather greasy looking, but it only lasted around

one-two weeks. For around one month, I had horrible, and i mean

horrrrrible dandruff, but I had it pretty bad before and now It’s not a

problem.

one thing people don't realize is that this really saves time. Being a person without much body odor, I can wake up 5 minutes before school and get there on time because i no longer need to wash my hair =]

Lessons & tips:  It is essential to rinse your hair at least

every 2 days if you do this. I forgot to rinse it for around 3 days and

it was a disaster of a hair day.
Also, share. Originally I hid this from my friends because I thought they'd think I'm gross. Now it makes for a very interesting topic and a lot of people's doubts have been crushed.
