My hair is good looking, clean, and not greasy. For every reason you can give me about why I should shampoo I can counter with a photo of me, a pretty girl under my arm that is so drunk she doesn't notice my "dirty" hair
Here I am, just innocently trying to watch a movie at my mom's house when I went home to visit, and my little brother runs up and like flips into this position, using me as his pillow.
Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead. No squealin' remember, that it's all in your head.
I...can't fathom not washing my hair. I have to wash it every day, every other day at least.

also @valenae after about a month or two your body gets used to you not shampooing and your hair isn't oily anymore. I wash my hair 5-6 times a year and just rinse it otherwise.
I haven't shampooed my hair in a few months now. There was the awkward stage of everything being weird and oily, but now it's moved on and I don't see why I'd start bothering with it again. That said, it would be disingenuous to say I haven't -washed- my hair, I simply haven't used shampoo. I rinse/scrub it every few days when the rest of me needs a shower. Every-other of these or so, I'll rinse it in vinegar, and about once ever 10 days I give it a baking-soda-water scrub before the vinegar.
Lemme tell ya, it's cheap as hell and my obnoxious adult-onset-acne has dramatically calmed since I started this (no idea if acne reduction is related, but I'll take whatever I can get in that department)
Tangential to the shampoo stuff: your body produces oil when the natural oils are stripped. If shampooing is making your hair oily (or washing making your face oily) then you're likely using something too harsh for your body's unique balance of magicky chemistry stuffs.
I personally like shampooing because it feels like a scalp massage and smells good. Also I went like nearly 2 months without a shower (birdbath bathing is not fun) when I was in Mongolia. My hair ended up looking like this:
I use basic Wen cleansing conditioner and then andalou naturals hair thickening spray when it needs to be washed, which is every day to once every two days. Wen is amazing if you have never used it, since its also a no-lather conditioner and if you have trouble with thin hair like I do, andalou naturals is a miracle.
Because then you get out of bed after sleeping for 10 and a 1/2 hours and go..

This thread has made me seriously question my pre-conceived notions about hair care. I always thought everyone (except for people with coarse ethnic hair types) shampooed every 1-3 days and conditioned every time. This has been my routine forever.
Now I wonder. But I also have a job five days a week so I don't know if I'm brave enough to experiment and risk ultra-bad hair days during whatever transitional period comes. I have really thin/fine hair and it always gets super oily after a few days.
The only pictures I ever take these days are from Skype screenshots, it seems.
