My main reason for trying this was a desire for more wave in my hair. It’s rather long, and the top half is fairly straight, but the bottom half is naturally wavy. I’ve had problems lately with dry hair (which turns straight soon after drying), split ends, and dandruff, and was ready to try something different. You helped be my motivation.

The dandruff is gone. My waves are happy (encouraged, I admit, by plenty of store-bought conditioner). My scalp was fine after the first shampoo-free week, greasy towards the end of the second, and now comfily clean again, thanks to the egg-and-lemon-juice.

Now that I know it can be done, I’m thrilled, but still not sure I want to stick with the no-shampoo thing forever. What if one did the vinegar-baking soda every few days and used a teeny-tiny dallop of shampoo once a week? Because that would be cheaper than eggs (for those of us without chickens), and I’d guess shampooing once a week would be gentle enough to not dry out hair.

Thanks for the great posts! I read your blog often, and it’s always informative and/or entertaining.
