This is very interesting, Keith. I stopped using traditional shampoo and conditioners about 4-5 months ago. I only use real castile soap to wash my body and hair. I feel just as clean. For my beard, I only wash it if it feels dirty or I had a lot food get into my stache and surrounding beard. That may be once a week and is a quick soap up and rinse.

I think mother nature intended for us to use our own body oil to protect our hair. Traditional shampoos and castile soaps will strip our natural oils from our hair. So I can see how avoiding them could be of benefit. I will have to test this out as well.

Thanks for sharing this idea along with the great details.
