It does. Thank you for you service. o7

I had the opposite problem. I had some hippy shampoo that caused so much dandruff that it turned into scabs. As soon as I started using ordinary shampoo again it was fine.

...but foamy toothpaste with too much SLES gives me ulcers. I have to avoid the common supermarket brands.

Also Sodium lauryl sulphate , SLS or Ammonium lauryl sulphate. These detergents define most shampoos. They strip natural oils then replace the oils with silicone.

Just think of all the money we save because we don't need shampoo/conditioner (plus all the extra room in the shower) or haircuts! We will be filthy rich in no time!

Right there with you buddy. Since the mid 90s.

Yah, my solution to itchy scalp is to wear a hat so the mosquitos don't have a free lunch.

I stopped using shampoo on my (short) hair over 15 years ago as well, no issues.

If there is anything I have learned from my wife it is that you should really only wash your hair once every few days to keep it from getting damaged. She will get her hair done a few times a year and will basically not wash it for almost a week afterwards. I still wash everyday, but my hair is short and doesnt seem to matter much on shortter hair what I do.

Out of curiosity, do you have super thick hair and only towel dry it after getting out of the shower? Reoccurring dandruff means you have a fungal infection, and they tend to prefer warm damp environments. Blow drying may prevent it, because thick hair tends to trap moisture and take a while to dry. Which allows the fungus to multiply in the meantime.

This is me as well. I will try to use other stuff for a few days then do 1 using it again which still keeps everything fine. I recently tried growing my hair out for the first time ever and realized quickly head and shoulders is pretty bad for hair which is why ill alternate. It also skyrocketted in price over the past few years and will settle for store brands version of it which can be half the price and was mostly the same experience.

Interestingly for me my hair is much better without that, my head is more greasy and itchy when I'm using head and shoulders than when I'm using something else. I've switched to bar shampoo recently and been getting on really well with faith in nature shampoo bars.

Ketocanazole saved my scalp

Ketokanoodle?

.> interesting. Will read up on it. Thanks :)

I get where you're coming from, but I still using the same shampoo, just washing twice, and it's been great.

I tried the avoiding detergents and washing hair stuff, but it didn't work.

I just looked like a swamp cresture coming out of a lagoon.

I even shaved my head so I could just use a wet wash cloth. I still got dandruff.

Turns out my own skin is sensitive to hair oil, and I have to wash it every single day very thoroughly or I will get flakes and itchy dandruff.
