I stopped using shampoo. My hair and skin have never been better. Shampoo takes away the skin oils, so the skin needs to compensate by producing more skins oils, making your hair greasy. Stop using shampoo makes it worse for a week, then it gets better and the hair stops being greasy. Shampoo is just an unnecessary addiction.

I've tried stop using shampoo but my scalp feels super itchy after about a week. Is there an alternative to shampoo that don't remove skin oil or removes less?

Edit: typo

A week is actually way too fast, it took mine like 4 months to stop greasing up lol

At my family's house, the men's shampoo is of the same brand and packaging as some of the women's shampoo, just with less floral names like "ocean" and "gingham legend," whatever that's supposed to mean.

This is so close. I make my own washing powder with some sketchy russian powdered curd soap probably made of animal fat. Cheap and efficient while smelling neutral.
