Why do you absolutely refuse the supplement with conditioner?

i don't like having substances and residues on me that i don't excrete myself. it's just the policy.

My only suggestions would be to
a) Stop shampooing daily, it's not necessary. Your scalp will adjust. b) Don't use shampoos with SLS |

what's SLS?
something something sulfide something? i have to shampoo every day. i've got oily skin in general. maybe i'm helping to make it such. it's a vicious cycle, but i can't break it. i'd rather just find some kind of cleansing yet super mild shampoo remedy. face cleanser would be nice too. when i wash my face the same thing happens. it strips the moisture from my skin, dries it out, and then later it decides to suddenly break the oil levees. yeah, i'm using a terrible disaster as a skin care metaphor. that means i'm serious. |

Sometimes when I want clean hair, but want to keep the greasiness, i use Dr. Bronner's castille soap.

Your hair will adjust more quickly to not shampooing it daily if you rinse your scalp with heavily diluted vinegar (About 1 capful of vinegar to 1 cup of water) after shampooing. It's supposed to help restore your scalp's pH to the proper level so your oil glands don't keep going nuts.
There's still a bit of pain involved, but I've gotten myself from having to shampoo daily to only doing it twice a week, tops.

Just pain as in I still had to deal with a few weeks or a month of the hair being greasier than I'd like, but it wasn't out of control or anything.

The only shampoo I found that suds but leaves oils in is MOP's C System. and it's expensive.
I know some people who don't shampoo. The transition time is hard, as nauthiz said, but once you're past that, you need only water. |

My more wasteful, psychologically addictive approach is to (more or less) assault my hair and then lightly spritz/detangle with a spray leave-in conditioner (it doesn't leave me with a feeling of an all over, dirty residue like other conditioners). It may not be the good hair nerd approach, but it's what works best for me.

I hear it takes about a month to adjust. Most say they wore hats for that month (so, winter is a good time to try it!), but yes, now their hair is quite nice, looks the same as you'n'me. Some will use a gentle cleaner like baking soda, some will use no shampoo but will use a conditioner, some will use only water, etc. |
