http://www.blackhairinformation.com/shampooing/how-to-clean-black-hair-without-a-shampoo/
In a recent movement, people have been going shampoo free citing that the chemicals inside shampoo can damage hair if used too much.
I was raised in a house that suggested washing of one's hair via shampoo daily even though black people should only really wash their hairs once every two weeks. I became addicted to it and now my hair is damage, I can't grow an afro and my hair is thinning.
So I decided to stop using shampoo and...my hair hasn't been this thick in months. It's actually GROWING for a change.
Anyone else try this?
-
I hope you're not under the impression that it's going to curb your balding.
-
I...I'm not balding! My hair is just damaged!
-
I started balding at 22, and have just enough hair left now to be mistaken for a shorter Brian Posehn. Either start using rogaine or give up, those are your options.

Yeah you're cute though
I noticed on Saturday that I'm developing a receding hairline now. If I pull my hair back it looks like the shape of Vegeta's hairline :(

Pro-tip: look at the male relatives on your mom's side of the family. Are they bald? If so, you're fucked.

The sooner you get comfortable with the inevitability that you will one day look like a black Danny DeVito, the better. Prolonged denial will only lead to insecurity and misery.

There aint no cure dudes. If you're going bald beat the clock by shaving it!

Well, I doubt I'll ever look like him since I'd rather shave than look like I'm holding desperately to my hair.
Me with a low caesar. Head is tilted so I look bald.

You'll be fine bald. Looks good on you. Plus you have the mythical "black dudes look better bald than white dudes" thing going for you.

NO!!

If it's good enough for Michael Jordan, it should be good enough for you.

That's the hairline I have, except now I'm getting The John McClane.
-
the John McClane is cool
sad day when John McClane got the Michael Chiklis
-
Yeah, you're lucky you'll look good as a bald guy.
Otherwise buy a beret.
-
...I own a beret :(
-
Bald :rock
Shaving it constantly does become a chore, though. Nowadays, I get lazy and let a day or two go by before I shave it down again.
-
i'll eventually be there
thx god i have a killer beard
-
I'll probably go bald one day. Unfortunately, I was told by a hairdresser my head shape would not look good bald.
...I own a beret :(
Damn. :(

I've been saddled with a Jude Law for the last few years, which really isn't so bad.
-
Start taking finaisteride. It will at least keep what you currently have for a long time and possibly restore some of what you've lost. Also, you would more likely find it easier to take 1 pill/day than apply rogaine constantly or do any of the other regimes.
-
My hairline isn't receeding but it doesn't grow even. This isn't a problem usually when my hair is cut a decent length, but as it gets longer you can see the line looking fucked up in a couple places. Pisses me off
Oh, my grandma on my mom's side has a head full of hair so I don't have anything to worry about. Suck it Himu
-
My grandma has a head full of hair too.
-
Smooth Groove will decide this, as he's the doctor. I thought a grandma on your mother's side with hair=you can't go bald :fbm
-
It's males on your mothers side.
-
Your maternal grandfather, dummies. And that isn't the only deciding factor.
-
My grandfather was bald but he was like 50-70 when he was alive.
I don't mind going bald. Just not in my 20's.
-
fuck
-
I'm losing hair and every male relative on my mother's side has a thick head of hair, including my dead grandfather (her father).
I don't think it is quite as simple as looking at your mother's father and determining how your hair will turn out.
-

YOU ARE ALREADY BALD[ING]
-
I'm 30 and still have most of my hair but it has receded a little bit at the temples as you can see. At this point, I don't give a fuck though.

Well of course they'd say that. Precious dolla holla hollas to be had with you having hair you need to cut properly. If you shave it, you'd never need a hairdresser or stylist again.

I've already seen that pic. I want new pics. :'(

I blame the Scandinavians for receding temples.

That would be the case, but the advice was given by my partner of the time. I'm sure she would have happily shaved it off if possible to save some work on all those freebie haircuts.

Oh... :fbm
Edit: That was meant for Bildi, but either way, it works.
-
Just have to hope my hair stays in.
Hey, it's only my father, uncle and grandfathers on both sides that have highly receded temples.
:fbm
-
meh, you'll be fine. I think everybody just gets to an age where nobody gives a fuck about receding hairlines. Pretty much every guy gets it to some degree. I notice it on my friends now that they're 30 or nearing it, but it doesn't look necessarily bad or anything. I do know a guy that has a bald patch in the back, so his looks pretty bad. But I don't really like him, so maybe if he was cool, it wouldn't look so stupid, and I'm just nitpickin him because he's a tool.
-
I can't imagine you'll have too many problems with your luscious head of hair Wrath. :lol

:bow Tools going bald. :bow2
As it should be.

I'm trying the no shampoo thing for the past week to see if it will help with the dandruff. My scalp seems to be better so far~ Hair felt great before I shaved my head a few days ago.
-
I've heard that Nizoral 2% (ketoconazole 2%) shampoo works after a few months.
-
I actually did try not using shampoo and washing only with water for a month back in college. My hair reached to the middle of my back at the time. This friend of mine with short hair talked me into it, since he never washed his and his looked great (shiny, springy, clean-looking...). After a while, your hair apparently stops producing excess oil, so you are just washing the dirt and dust out of it.
It didn't work that well for me 'cause I just had such a mound of hair but it did reach this point of basically not getting any oilier. If I'd stuck with it a bit longer it would probably have got to the point where i never had to wash it. But it got too disgusting and I gave up. Now I just keep it short all the time and never think about it.

Dude you're going to look fine bald. unlike my scrawny mousey ass!
-
I'm 29 and my hairline hasn't started receding ... I don't think? Actually I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like so I can't tell :lol
Anyway I figure by the time I do start going bald, if it happens, there'll probably be some magic biotech/regenerative-medicine way to reverse it if I care enough to bother.
