no 'poo

I read something about this in GQ magazine a few months back, and I recently found another article on it on NPR. Basically, shampoo less frequently, which I've already been doing-- an average of maybe once or twice a week, sans baking soda/vinegar.

Americans love to shampoo. We lather up an average of 4.59 times a week, twice as much as Italians and Spaniards, according to shampoo-maker Procter & Gamble.

But that's way too often, say hair stylists and dermatologists. Daily washing, they say, strips the hair of beneficial oil (called sebum) and can damage our locks.

Read the rest here. Just be sure your rinse well.
