    Stop using shampoo. It might cause your hair to feel oily for a few days, but if you stick with it, your natural oil production will level out and you will never need to use it again. I have long hair and haven't used shampoo for over 4 years, people always ask me how I get so much volume and how I keep it so healthy looking and I just tell them I literally never wash it and they think i'm joking, but its the secret yo. If you MUST use shampoo, make sure to also use conditioner as instructed or your hair will be a dry mess.

      This is great if you don't have dandruff.

        Everyone has dandruff, washing the oils out of your hair then desperately trying to put them back in with conditioner doesn't help and often exacerbates the problem. I used to have visible dandruff, still do (everybody does) but it is noticeably less than when I used (anti-dandruff) shampoo.

          I understand the reasoning behind it and only wash my face with cold water because of it. Just doesn't work for me with the hair. Maybe if i keep it buzzed short and dont grow it out. Who knows.

          PS: not everybody has visible dandruff

        It might, there is some individual variation on whether people's hair can adapt to no-shampoo or not. Personally I have fine hair and I use it only two or three times a week. Make sure that if you try this you are using a conditioner that does not have silicones, or it'll all just build up on your hair and make it look gross.
