Is Shampoo a Big Waste of Money?

[welshcake]

Alley; has recently created an article about shampoo and the fact that it is actually 'damaging' your hair when you use it.
You can find the article here:

Personally, I don't really care. I can't go outside without washing my hair because it gets gross straight away.
Like she asks in the article; what are your feelings on this? Would you still use shampoo even though it could be damaging your hair?

Damaging my hair or not I have to use it haha. My hair get's greasy very quickly so it needs to be washed daily!

What isn't bad/damages you these days eh ://////

i read that before shampoo was invented people had matted and gross hair that they kept under a hat or braided. & people still shampooed their hair, just with baking soda, vinegar etc!
& shampoo today isn't as damaging as when it first came out so i wouldn't worry to much!!

if you're worried about damaging hair with shampoo you can: wash with conditioner, wash with sulphate free shampoo, dilute your shampoo, wash less etc!

idc if shampoo is damaging, i would choose shampoo over greasy hair any day, just use a deep conditioner/leave ins n keep ur hair up :l

ive tried washing it less and i can go 3 days but tbh my hair stays the same condition whether it's washed every day, 2nd day etc so i just do it when i need to lol

same i have to wash mine every day too
i really can't imagine going out without washing my hair
i hope that if i ever need to go to the hospital i've actually showered before it

I wash my hair almost every day. I can't go to work without washing my hair that day. I don't even do it the night before because it'll be greasy by the morning. So it has to be every morning that I wash my hair. Damaging or not, it has to be done. RIP hair.

Omg yeah it's awful isn't it. OMG HAHA, funny you mention that, I always panic if I feel ill like omg what if I have to go hospital I need to wash my hair! So funny

Beats having unclean hair!! Gross. But yea I've found I can go 4 days and it still doesn't look greasy. My hair type seems to have changed over the years. Used to be I would have had to wash it everyday. I deffo leave my hair as long as I can now.

[BreakfastBacon]

My hair doesn't get very greasy so while I wash everyday I only wash my hair every 3

but meh, so what if shampoo is damaging people have used it for years now

[Alkaz]

I was my hair every/other day. Have to because of the products I use on it.

My hair doesn't get as greasy as it used to, I can leave it a while before washing it and I don't condition it as it just makes it greasy. What I find is if I wash it, the next day it will most probably be greasy then the days after it'll be fine! I don't think it's really damaging, and if it is wouldn't we have seen the effect of it years ago?

I normally wash my hair a couple of times a week and if I leave it longer it goes absolutely disgusting and my head just starts to itch like crazy so I can't stand it. I only ever use shampoo - no conditioner as it seems to make my hair go greasy faster (no, i don't put conditioner on my scalp) and doesn't really add to the shine anyway? Don't get the point of conditioner other than as a way to throw more money down the drain.

I know that shampooing your hair every single day can be damaging, much like washing too much because it doesn't give your body's natural oils enough time to sort themselves out. (Obviously that's a simplified version of what really happens.) Uhh I know that if you do have to wash your hair every day because it gets so greasy so fast you should empty half your shampoo into a second bottle, fill up both bottles to the top with water and then mix it together to dilute shampoo. Think I learned that from Bobbi Brown but it was never that important to me as I don't need to wash my hair every day.

i wash my hair 2 or 3 times per week. ive never had greasy hair in my life, if i go anymore than 4days without washing it it gets really dry and flat

i never find shampoo damaging for my hair visibly. i usually get shampoo without parabens or sulfates but my hair would still look good usin a 3 buck shampoo like herbal essence.

oh my god that's like hair goals
I wish i was able to do that
washing it and drying it takes ages

[FlyingJesus]

I don't shampoo every day but I do condition which is prob even worse for it idk but leaves it SILKY SOFT

[-:Undertaker:-]

i don't use shampoo i use body gel all over its quicker to get everything done in one go

i also find shampoo can be harsh on ya hair so i'll only use head and shoulders (powerful) once every 2 weeks or so

I used to wash my hair everyday, and now I wash it almost everyday.. I just don't feel clean leaving the house without washing it in the morning.

[Matt]

I wash my hair every time I go out. Shampoo makes my hair soft and smell good and i've not heard of any really bad stories of shampoo damaging anyone's hair so much that it looks really bad, so I'll keep using it!

[Hannah]

My hair gets greasy very quickly because of how much I used to wash it - but I can't leave it longer than a day. I have to wash it and I straighten my hair etc. so damage from shampoo is the least of my worries. xD

[Cerys]

I wash my hair every other day or it feels gross, don't use conditioner though cos it makes it go greasy so that saves money I guess ;)

I'm pretty sure (don't quote me on it tho) that shampoo does darken everyone who uses it's hair quite considerably but I'm not sure whether that could be counted as a particularly bad thing? I couldn't care less :S

would explain why my hair is dark dark brown/borderline black when it used to be light brown :P

Haha same as me. It feels wrong leaving the house without washing my hair!

[xxMATTGxx]

Everyday - Well If I'm leaving the house. Sometimes at the weekend If I know I'm not going out then I will not just to give it a bit of a break I suppose.

Same here. I wash my hair twice per week, otherwise, it becomes dry and tangled despite combing. And I don't find a shampoo damaging also. Though I'm always looking for sulfate-free ones, just as a precaution (rolleyes), never actually paying attention to the brand, maybe, except, Catwalk conditioner, mentioned here (https://mystraightener.com/best-conditioner-for-curly-hair-keeping-your-curls-smooth-and-glossy/), for the smell and a little gloss effect.

I love shampoo. Don't think it's a waste. It makes my hair soft and less greasy. So I do shampoo once a week.
