The natural oils won't make a difference in designing your hair better if you have thin hair right? I'm not balding at all but my hair is very thin so I can only keep it short and spike it. I get a 0 fade on the sides and back and just buzz it with a 3 on top.

have been doing this for the past year. feelsgoodman.
shampoo maybe once or twice a month when i feel it's starting to get real grimey

I seem to get small white pieces in my hair every now and then. I only use a conditioner daily and don't even use styling products such as wax or gel. Is it dandruff or the small white pieces of crap which was described in the OP?

I've tried this is the past.
My hair gets greasy as fuuck fast, and not in a good way. I have to shampoo it almost every day. sometimes i go days without showering tho (like 4-5) because its i'll be doing nothing and not really interacting with anyone and it just looks gross.
props to the dudes who can do it tho. My hair looks best when shampooed and then styled.

[QUOTE=OptimusPrim3;969530723]I've been on no poo (none whatsoever) for a while, probably like 1-1.5 years. Just now I've gotten dandruff and started using Tea-Tree leave-in conditioner which solved that problem. But, I have just noticed recently that my hair is thinning out (especially on the sides)... I'm 100% sure it's not from the conditioner because it was thinning out beforehand, what do?[/QUOTE]
Bro, it's not from the conditioner. Thinning out is part of maturing as a male (in age). Essentially, the older we get, the thinner the hair strands get and the lower the density of hair in the scalp (i.e. balding). This is a general rule for different males thin out differently.
My advice to you is to see a dermatologist; quite likely it is male pattern baldness (MPB). Minoxidil is possibly the best thing to go on if it is confirmed that it is MPB. I can assure you though that it is not the conditioner; in fact, I believe tea-tree is "anti-balding" though I would have to look that up as I'm recalling from memory. If you are in the early stages of MPB, there's no need to panic.
Let me know how that goes or if you need some more help.

[QUOTE=vitobrah;977590173]how do you dry your hair after rinsing it with water?[/QUOTE]
You have 2 options: shaking your head (Shakeout) or using a towel.
Shaking your head is fairly intuitive, just get the water out to leave the hair damp.
Using a towel, be careful, squeeze the water out from the locks. NEVER rub the towel against the hair especially if you have curly hair! Moreover, it is best if you use a cotton T-shirt than a towel to dry your hair.
[QUOTE=mhraza;977592113]good read OP repped
one question,I tried this before but my hair starts to get quiet dandruffy if I don't shampoo regularly...what do?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=VsmBrah;977843813]trying this[/QUOTE]
Shampoo.
If you start to get white particles of crap, you need to up your shampooing frequency. Shampoo is not evil, but it is not essential to daily grooming either. Most guys can shampoo once a week or even once every 2 weeks without any problems. However, if you start getting white stuff on your hair, then schedule a shampooing session and that's it.
That, or learn to remove the crap from your hair manually (what I call the Sebum Coating method). Work your fingers through your soaked hair to spread the sebum your scalp secretes. Do it when you are showering and ideally with lukewarm water.

I don't understand broski. The natural oil secreted from your scalp is a darn awesome conditioner, which you must learn to use effectively (it must be spread along your hair strands). The secreted sebum is not enough though to use for hairstyles that defy gravity such as spikes; I recommend you to use a tiny bit of hair gel for that hairstyle.
Let me know if that's not what you referred to.

The white crap is the overaccumulated sebum that your scalp secretes plus the conditioner, both which you have failed to remove (conditioner) and spread (sebum) properly. Essentially, every day before using the conditioner, take 1 minute to massage your scalp and go fast lock by lock running your fingers through the lock, from the base to the tip.
Brahs, all I can say is to stay tuned to my site as I'm going to be announcing something big that will explain all of this in great detail. My site is on my sig and also the ******** page. In the meantime, shoot your questions, and I'll try to squeeze in some time to answer them.

Having good-looking hair is a combination of hair grooming + hair care + haircut/style. You must be failing in any (or all) of these 3. Fear not, it is not easy to optimize these 3 elements, but it is perfectly doable.

Not using shampoo is not for everyone. Some men just secrete too much sebum (I do). This means that you must pay extra attention to your daily hair grooming if you want to quit the conventional daily shampoo use. It takes some time to learn, but convenience is a must in your hair management, so if shampooing daily works for you, then by all means continue with it.

I suppose that does make sense. Does it help if I specifically use either hot or cold water in order to remove the conditioner and spread the sebum? Also, would it help if I didn't use the conditioner at all?
The problem I have is that I have hyperhidrosis and I think my hair produces too much sebum which may contribute to my hair smelling bad. Lastly, wouldn't massaging the scalp increase the likelihood of me balding? (I'm aware that balding is genetic but what I mean is, would it make me bald earlier?)

Use lukewarm water. Relatively warm water helps to soften the sebum and the conditioner, thus when you run your fingers through the hair locks, you are spreading the sebum and avoiding the accumulation of sebum and conditioner. Most conditioners are easy to be removed with this finger method and lukewarm water.
Absolutely, you can skip the conditioner. The issue is that you need to learn how to manage this new form of grooming your hair (i.e. sans the conditioner). From my experience, most men benefit from shampooing every other day to once a week. Shampoo removes all excessively accumulated sebum and conditioner that wasn't removed by your fingers; this accumulation will occur sooner than later (e.g. in 2 weeks or 4 weeks). Conditioners are not needed if you know your hair and know how to spread the sebum (Sebum Coating method), it takes some time but it is got used to fairly fast. I have recorded on my site how I did this with hair that reached my nipples and is an absolute beast to manage.
About hyperhidrosis, all I know is that the worst cases come with the areas of the armpit and groin (a friend of mine suffers from this). I would recommend you to ask your dermatologist, I am not a person who can give you advice on a medical condition. However, I will tell you that massaging your scalp will not lead to baldness unless you are massaging like an animal and pulling out chunks of hair.

does your hair go smelly if you do this?

I tried this back in the day and didn't get very good results. Not just for a few weeks either, I think I eventually got to around 2 months of vastly if not completely reduced usage.
My hair is naturally like a dog mat with tons of colics everywhere, and it just amplified that. Forever short hair I guess.
-
I tried not washing my hair but I got lil dried scabs almost on certain parts of the scalp and my hair got really oily (don't want it on my face).
I will try to clean with just water and hands and see if it eliminates the issue tho. I haven't used deodorant in 3 years, I don't smell one bit either.

in on this. i only shampoo my hair about once every fortnight, and ive noticed that i get bad dandruff for a day or two immediately after 'pooing it. also, because of my hairstyle (something across between a fauxhawk and goku style) i can get all of my hair to stand up and stay in position without using any products, because of the levels of oil in it that accumulate over ~2 to 3 days before it tops out at an equilibrium level of grease (just looks like ive used a slight amount of gel/wax, doesnt even look dirty). been doing this for a while now. brb, putting in sig.

[QUOTE=VsmBrah;978515343]im also trying this , does your hair smell?[/QUOTE]
lol, i have absolutley no idea. but maybe once every 7 or 8 days i would just very lightly rinse it with a tiny amount of shampoo, maybe the amount i would use if my hair was half the length, and ever so slightly rinse the top/back and back/top/side areas as they tend to get the oiliest and look slimier, while the top and front/top just look like ive put a bit of wax or something in it. i used to use product, but dont even have to anymore 'cause i think the sebum softens the hair/makes it more plyable and allows it to stay in possition (after a fair bit of forceful positioning training of having it in the same position for ages (my fauxhawk/goku style has become my hairs natural position now (it just sits there)))
-
Been doing this for a while. I shampoo like once a week because I end up with too much hair product. If I didnt use product I would probably never shampoo. My hair looks so much ****tier on the day I shampoo. Its a lot harder to style.

I'm trying to cut down on chemicals in my life and gel and shampoo are next. I'll move into using normal soap for both washing my hands and my body. My girlfriend uses some kind of natural shampoo (much more expensive though), so I'm thinking of following the same route and/or drop shampoo all together.
I'll start by using it less and less and experiment. I dislike my hair, as it can't be combed, it has no style or anything. It's like Djokovic's hair : [url]http://ball71.com/images/novak-djokovic.jpg[/url] (not embedding it)
EDIT : Forgot to add the important part. My hair is always very dry. I got dandruff-like stuff all the time. If I shake my hair, it [I]snows[/I]. It's not dandruff as far I know, just dryness.

Haven't used shampoo/conditioner for about 5 years srs. Hated how it dried out my hair and made it go all retarded, feels a billion times better just washing it with water or maybe some ACV if the need be.
I've found that always finishing the shower with cold water makes the hair feel awesome afterwards, aswell as my whole body in general.
