I only use shampoo & conditioner once a week.  Why?  Because I believe the following:

Hair is dead skin cells that really doesn’t benefit from all the fuss.
That shampoo strips natural oils from hair.
Then conditioner puts wax back into the hair. Wax attracts dirt which makes the hair need washing again. It is a cycle that never ends, and keeps the shampoo companies flush.

I rinse my hair daily and soap my hair with a gentle soap once a week. After a little while of doing this, the natural oils to begin to come back. Over time, your hair will look shiny, and feel great and you will not be stripping oil, and putting in wax on a never ending cycle of damage anymore.

A little warning if you are about to do this! It takes a little time to achieve this and you have to not think about it. We have been using and abusing products on our hair for so long that it could take months before this works for you. And while you are going through the process, you might want to phase out your shampoo use slowly to not have your hair feeling too oily in the beginning. But be patient. Your body will give your hair the right amount of oil over time and this really works. Plus, you will also be doing the environment a favor by keeping all that shampoo from polluting our waters.
