Still chipping away at the Anthem killer

Chop, chop, chop

Counterpoint: I made a third attempt to ditch shampoo recently and have stuck with the plan this time. A few times a week I will hit it with some baking soda/coconut oil thing my wife made but otherwise I just give it a good water-only rinse every day. For the first week or so my hair was very greasy and I had dandruff like crazy, but after that it cleared up. My hair feels and looks a lot better, and any residual dandruff and "greasy" feel is far less than what I had while using shampoo. The frizz is gone, and for the first time in my life I've actually had a few compliments on how my hair looks.

So, as to how to do it, get a shorter haircut for the transition period, stop using shampoo, and instead give your hair a thorough rinse and scrub instead. You're still washing your hair, just not with a surfactant.

I live in an older house, and my roommate would wash her hair with baking soda. That seemed to clog up the tub drain something fierce and I had to use a plunger and drain cleaner regularly (every few weeks) to get the tub to drain properly. What came up was little caked up pads of stuff, almost as if a bread ingredient was regularly put down the drain.
