Yes, laying off the shampoo has a few odd side effects:
Author:Beth ShapouriPublish date:Jun 1, 2016Updated onJun 1, 2016If you listen to followers of the Church of the Non-Hair-Washers, you hear all sorts of benefits that come with going long intervals between shampoos — or with giving it up altogether.
Your head starts to hurtThis is a common gripe that pops up after many suds-free days, and there are several theories as to what's going on. Dr. Hadley King, dermatologist at Skinney Med Spa and clinical instructor of dermatology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University theorizes, "Perhaps the build-up of yeast and bacteria could cause enough inflammation to lead to some tenderness.
Whatever the reason, Garren has some pretty common-sense advice on the topic: "When it gets to the point of hurting, I think you've waited a bit too long to shampoo your hair." Your locks get… chunkierIf your hair is thick or coarse and you go a very long time without washing, the dirt and scalp grease can start to bunch together over time, leading to a texture Garren calls "chunky." Fine hair, on the other hand, will get flatter the further out from your last shampoo you get, as the oils will weigh down thin strands. A bit of dry shampoo might help, though too many days of that can lead to other complications. See below.
