Recently, I heard lots of hype about the “no-poo” method of cleansing hair. The name threw me off a bit at first, but after some research, I found out more about it and why so many women are making the switch for the benefit of their hair, as well as for the environment. In short, “no poo” is not using the traditional shampoo found in many drugstores and supermarkets. This is where the “no poo” name comes from, since you’re not using the “poo” in shampoo. Traditional shampoos often contain many harsh sulfates, often as the main ingredient after water, which strip the hair of oils. Some of these oils are unnecessary, but others are natural and give hair the necessary shine and sleekness that it craves. Traditional shampoos can act as a detergent to your hair, removing all of these oils, which can leave your hair feeling dry and brittle. This process can also cause your hair to produce more oil than usual to compensate for the loss, which will continue to make your hair greasy.
