I'd love to try any method but this seems extreme. how can you say hair doesn't get smelly/dirty? it's a part of your body and needs washing IMO. I can't see myself not washing DD hair. can you explain how water alone removes natural oils and sweat from hair?

I'm the type of person I don't really know the science behind stuff. I have hair, I try things, it works. It feels good and clean, and looks good and clean, and smells good and clean-that's the best evidence.

But there are definitely MANY articles and books. Do a google of Curly Girl Method and you'll get tons of hits. Or washing hair with only water.

I just realized I have actually been doing the only water method versus CG. I'm still exprimenting with both of them, but I just realized they are two different things. Both are worth looking into.

Here are some articles anyway (all I did was quick google)

Any of you CGs with bad dandruff/larger pieces of skin flaking?

I hear what you are saying and definitely recommend limiting products in curly hair.

I use matrix biology cleansing conditioner. It is soo much easier to use one product instead of two. I also don't wash curly hair more than once a week, and the rest of the time just use water. If necessary I will use a little conditioner in a water spray bottle in the meantime. I also use simply smooth keratin potion as a smoothing serum while hair is air drying.

I do think everyone's hair is different and what works for one person might not work for someone else!

I tried only water re OP's suggestion on Erev Shabbos. It was gross. I used reg shamp and cond after! It felt so slimy and unclean without! How does it work for you??

I said there is a transition period of a week or two. Your hair is used to having chemicals that rip it a natural oils. Therefore your hair is used to making extra oil to compensate and you yourself are not used to the feeling of your hair without these chemicals. My hair gets better by the day now...

If ir truly interests you read some artocles. Do your own reseadch.. I do not claim to be an expert, I just wanted to tell more people about the idea so they could find out more info on their own....
