If I don't use shampoo my scalp turns into the Sahara desert with 100% chance of snow showers.

Depends on your hair, also, some shampoos are good at cleaning your hairs without that intense feeling of sucking the oil from your hairs. I like silicon-free shampoo because I have very, very fine hairs, and it gets either too dry or too greasy.

Yes this does happen at first. If you can stick it out for a few weeks your body will adjust. For me it took about a month. Also no shampoo doesn't mean not washing or scrubbing your hair. I use a comb to exfoliate the scalp skin.

Started for me, too... When I was a kid, after I started shampooing daily. I was fine before that.

There is a trend called "no poo" where people try to minimise shampoo use. https://www.nopoomethod.com/ Mailab did a funny video on it in German. https://youtu.be/rcpM3uW86Uk

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/rcpM3uW86Uk

I've done the nopoo thing. It made my hair so gross for a while, then amazing. Just, absolutely amazing. I used water, baking soda, and tea tree oil. It worked really well. But then tea tree oil became impossible to acquire for a while, and I went back to my old ways.

You do that and then you start smelling like shit, no one would like to be near use, at least use natural shamboo, I had snowlly sculp, with a slightly chemical shamboo 2 times per week and with one natural for the rest of the days I'm fine now and smell like an exotic garden.
