Done this before, well with the hair any way. Now going to try it without shower gel as well.

My hair definitely looks nicer when I just wet it in the shower. If I’m going on a night out on a saturday I would wash my hair on the friday because it was a pain in the arse and had way too much volume.

I am a 36 year old female and have never washed with soap. Growing up my mother taught me not to tamper with my natural skin by applying man made chemicals to it. She always emphasized Especially to avoid the genital region. Why would you mess with natures lubrication system? I also do not use deotorant. My husband is opposite of me and a soap freak. Hens isn’t that I have a sweet sent and is amazed that I don’t smell.

Not so, John. The men in our family still use soaps and shampoos. My daughter and I stopped using both back in September of this year and I will admit, it took a few months of me wondering WTF was I doing?! However, after the first few months, I couldn’t take my own BO anymore (even though all family and friends and even co-workers were saying I smelled nice), so I mixed up about 4 tablespoons of baking soda and water to a fine, milky substance and poured it all over my hair and body. I have never smelled so good. Several people have commented that I “smell like a cool day on the beach” or “a rainy spring-summer day”. I do not use anything other than the baking soda about every 5 weeks and of course water every day. I have stopped using toothpaste and the most recent checkup had my dentist commenting how well I’m “finally” doing on the care of my teeth. My eyes are brighter blue than they’ve been in a long time and when I brush my hair, no more hairbrush full of “pulled hair”. My face doesn’t break out anymore EVER (never was a big problem anyway but I haven’t had a pimple in over a month now). The only thing I’ve noticed that I didn’t like was my socks seemed a little stinky (something I had never dealt with before), but after the first month, my husband pointed out to me that he used to spray our shoes with odor stuff late at night whenever he put his boots down next to mine by the back door. He has since stopped spraying my boots and the odor has gone away. I not only do not need odor eaters of any kind, they actually cause an imbalance and they don’t smell as good as me so the fresheners stink when next to me or my body. It’s no joke, it’s no lie. Stick it out and you will find it’s well worth it. No more SHAM or CON for me.

Hence the old adage to brush your hair 100 strokes each night…to distribute the oils. Still, probably a tough thing to do with very curly hair.
