Friend or Foe?

So my last post was about poo, so I thought we would discuss poo of a different kind.....shampoo. Many hairstylists are converting their clients to an underground beauty trend called "no poo" where they remove shampoo from their shower regimen. There are many devout no poo followers who tenaciously claim that their hair is shinier, thicker and better overall after eliminating conditioners old friend. Apparently some experts say that shampoo cleanses hair by stripping it of its natural, necessary oils. This causes the scalp to produce more oil, making it impossible for some to skip shampoo for even one day without looking greasier than super size fries.

*MSNBC.com has this insightful article about the no poo movement. Check it out to learn more, and update me if any of you attempt this trend yourselves. I'm dying to know if it works, but unwilling to look like Pauly Shore for a week.
