Turns Out, Adele Is A 'No Shampoo' Fan, Too

Adele is great for many reasons, but her admission that she’s a ‘no shampoo’ girl makes us like her even more. Asked by Glamour how she gets such impressive volume in her mane, she explained that her biggest secret is not using shampoo—a clean beauty trend that’s not just good for our bodies and the environment, but also a pretty great way to avoid the need for styling products, according to Adele.

My No-Shampoo Experiment Is Over…And I Still Don’t Want To Use Shampoo

My No-Shampoo Experiment Is Over...And I Still Don't Want To Use Shampoo

50 days ago, I briefly joined the no-shampoo movement as an experiment. And while I received some dirty looks when I told my friends and family, it was a shockingly clean and grease-free period, which was predetermined to end in the New Year. And so, yesterday I revisited the soapy stuff and, I won’t lie, there were a few things I missed about lathering up–but I don’t think I’ll be making a habit of it.

Week Three Without Shampoo: Asking Questions And Getting Answers

After wrapping up the third week of my no-shampoo experiment, I’m still seeing a lot of the same great hair perks that I saw in the initial two weeks: awesome body, strong strands, fewer fly-aways, and rapid growth that may or may not be because I ditched the stuff. But I’m also seeing a lot of something else: questions about the logistics of this experiment from readers who’d like to give it a shot themselves. More »

Life Without Shampoo: Week One

Life Without Shampoo: Week One

Last week, I wrote about my curiosity with the “no-shampoo” movement, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: folks who are eschewing shampoo, in favor of a more natural approach. People are skipping the sudsy stuff for a number of reasons, including concerns over the potentially-harmful chemicals often used to create lather and make it smell good. I gave it up just to see if the hype was worth it, and to see if it could work for someone who was active (read: sweaty). More »
