Cleansing hair without shampoo or conditioner, relying solely on water, can lead to a variety of outcomes depending on individual hair type, scalp condition, and environmental factors. These outcomes can range from improved scalp health and reduced reliance on commercial products to potential challenges with oiliness and styling.
This method aims to restore the scalp’s natural oil balance by avoiding the harsh detergents found in conventional hair care products. Historically, washing hair exclusively with water was common before the widespread availability of commercial shampoos. Proponents suggest this approach can result in stronger, healthier hair, less prone to dryness or damage. This practice also aligns with minimalist and environmentally conscious lifestyles, reducing the use of chemical products and plastic packaging.
