A new beauty revolution called the No Shampoo Movement is being touted as the way to beat baldness and hair thinning. Want to give it a shot?
Do you know the secret to Adele’s glamorous updo? She doesn’t shampoo. The singer washes her hair with plain water. Adele is part of the ‘no shampoo’ movement, which has followers ranging from Hollywood A-listers such as Jessica Simpson and Robert Pattinson to Prince Harry. The followers of this movement, consider it a safe way to prevent baldness and hair thinning. The real reason for the early onset of baldness and thin hair is over shampooing. Over a long period, shampoos damage your hair drastically. You will hate your hair at first but will start to feel the difference after the first two weeks. Apple cider and plain baking soda can be used instead of a shampoo.
Washing your hair with a natural, homemade shampoo and conditioner may be a good idea at times. People of our grandparents’ generation have a healthy mane in their old age because they mostly used natural ingredients to clean their hair. Like green gram flour and boiled rice water, fresh hibiscus or shikakai paste – to keep their scalp and hair clean. Natural ingredients are easily absorbed by the body. A lot of shampoos contain harmful chemicals, like methylisothiazolinone and diethanolamine, that can lead to health problems. Foaming agents like sodium lauryl sulfate (SIS) are believed to cause irritation of the scalp for some. Hair experts say, “Regular shampooing is counter-productive. It makes your hair dry and brittle and disrupts the acid-alkaline balance of the scalp, which often leads to dandruff.”
