To S'poo or not to S‘poo
![Hair model](/Images/Blogs/no-shampoo.jpg)
Looking at some of the Facebook reactions we had when we posted the link to the Daily Mail story about Sarah Theeboom, many of our audience expressed disgust or concern that the journalist’s hair must smell. However, that is quite a misconception. Choosing to not use shampoo is not the same as never paying attention to your hair.
For years many women of various backgrounds have been concerned at the effect of chemicals such as parabens and sulphates on their hair growth and texture. Instead of relying on store-bought shampoo, many of these women tried co-washing, where you rinse the hair with conditioner, therefore giving it the moisture it needs, without stripping away natural oils. More of the positives of not using shampoo include: hairspray and styling products ‘hold’ better, hair grows stronger, faster and you can go up to five days with doing zero cleansing.

Simply Google ‘ditching shampoo’ and you will see a huge range of women giving the ‘no ‘poo method’ a go – and no, they’re not tree-hugging hippies! Some of the less enjoyable effects include a period of adjustment, where the hair might react and produce excess oil, but it’s been said that within six weeks, that is no longer an issue.
So, how will this affect salon life? Barely. And it definitely won’t impinge on retail sales of shampoo. If anything, what you will notice is the hair product manufacturers taking notice and introducing more co-washing products, as some mainstream brands have already done. Some high-end salons have already introduced co-washing products, for clients who want less chemicals on their hair.
While the ‘no ‘poo method’ definitely isn’t for everyone, don’t be surprised if your clients express interest. Why not have a go yourself and let us know how you found it?
