My Latest Hair-Brained Test

Always living the 5 percent lifestyle

Our doctor recently sent out a newsletter stating that shampoo is the primary contributor to unhealthy hair and scalp.

He even claimed that natural "healthy" shampoos can damage hair follicles.

Curious, I wrote to him with a few questions.

In response, he suggested that I give up shampoo for 30 days and simply rinse my hair.

He warned that it might feel a bit oily for a few days, but soon I should notice a marked improvement in my scalp, particularly regarding the constant itching I experience.

Now I’m on day four of this experiment.

I’ll update you in January on how it went.

Always open to testing new theories and exploring health benefits!
