    Is it better to use shampoo or just clear water for washing hair. Has anyone tried water only for long periods with what results.
    Look forward to views

    Water only doesn't get rid of grease in your hair ! I guess it would depend on how long your hair is really,

    I used water on my (greasy) hair, while camping a few years ago, and it just made my hair more disgusting.

    theres a theory that if you dont wash your hair for 6 weeks it starts to clean itself - same as animals. because shampoo strips the grease from your hair your body makes more to compensate hence your hair getting greasy. if hair is not washed your scalp will start to regulate the grease production again. have seen a few articles in a magazine where women have not washed their hair in years there are a lot of these people out there im sure if you google it you will find some info

    I think that is kind of accurate, I didn't wash mine for ****ing ages one year and it started to be nice again, heh.

    I think shampoo is the way though, good ones only.
    At the moment, I have some faith in Nature ones(7e a pop), they are brillinant, and head & Shoulders.

    I was in college with a girl who tried this, for about 2 months, and she said it did improve the condition of her hair eventually. It always looked very greasy (and was more than a bit smelly tbh) whenever I saw her though. I don't think I could live without shampoo - I'd be too paranoid about the appearance/smell.
