but I've cured my greasy crusty danduffy scalp through the strangest method.
I've stopped using shampoo(that's right- I don't use shampoo anymore!). I wash my hair with
only conditioner and scalp massage(this is critical to success) and after a shampoo withdrawal and disgusting hair for a couple of weeks, my hair and scalp are the cleanest and happiest they've ever been. I really was sceptical about this but I had nothing to lose (Suave Naturals conditioner is super cheap) and possibly relief to gain.
I haven't used shampoo for 6 months now and my scalp is no longer inflamed and red, no crusting or flaking and my hair is no longer oily. Before I went shampoo free, I could only go 1 day between washings and my hair was a greaseball that smelled. I tried an experiement to see how long it would take for my hair to become oily after co-wash and at
day 9 (uhhuh- day 9) my hair wasn't oily but was dirty from dust and pollution etc. I probably could have gone longer but wanted clean hair again.
Here's a link to explain the whole deal.
