That doesn't need to be the case. Just make your own, healthy shampoo. Shampoo industry doesn't get your money for destroying your hair's health, you get healthy hair.

I use gel because I work a professional job, no choice but to use shampoo to get it out.

Those two things are completely unrelated.

I use shampoo like 2 times a week, and use a leave in Moroccan conditioners the other days.

My hair is majestic asf

Not using them = oily, nasty hair.

I hate using shampoo but I do. Not every day, because youre not supposed to.

I use shampoo twice a week, like the above poster, but I use regular conditioner most days and leave in conditioner.

"Hair care product" is marketing bullshit. Make your own.

What the fuck are you doing to your that it develops an odor if you don't shampoo it lol. Like, I wash my hair once a week with castile soap and it mostly just smells like tea tree oil.

Also, @TC you can make hair product at home pretty easily out of water, salt, sugar, aloe, and essential oil. It works fucking fantastic, though loses its hold a bit when it gets really humid.

I have horrible dandruff, and my hair gets insanely greasy and gross after just one day not showering, I'm a naturally super oily person. I also get itchy.

Fuck that shit. I use dandruff shampoo daily.

I shampoo my hair 5/6 times a week and it's fine. Your hair is just weak.

Its real easy to slowly taper off and let your hair adjust. Go from daily to every other day to twice a week to once a week to once every two weeks... etc

I only shower once a month. It's better that way anyway for my hair.

The only time I shower and wash my hair more than once a month is if whenever I do stuff like moving stuff around or mowing the grass during hit 80 degree weather few weeks in a month.

Once a month to shower is better for my hair anyway

I shampoo my hair daily. First a little bit of cheap one just to moisten it up. Then a second application of a better one. Every single time I shower. I just don't feel clean otherwise. Once a week I use a fancy conditioner but only if my hair is getting longer like right now. I'm a mid thirties guy and my hair is still just as damn full as it was 20 years ago. So whatever is supposedly wrong with using shampoos everyday certainly hasn't effected me in any way.

I wish I still had it shoulder length but the look doesn't work very well anymore when you're my age and a lot of it is turning white.

That's not good for you, dude

Shampooing is not a requirement for human beings. It's more of a cosmetic deal, and I do it once a week, if that.

People have this perception that shampoo is like soap and its not. It's a de-greaser, basically. It's designed to strip your scalp, which, strips it of any possible surface dirt, impurities, or dandruff. But you can rinse out surface dirt and the like with a normal water rinse. Shampoo takes out that stuff AND your natural scalp oil. When that happens, your scalp will reproduce what the shampoo takes away.

I only shampoo once since I live in Chicago where the winter can really dry out skin. But if you live in a consistently warm climate, I wouldn't shampoo more than once a month.

I can't comment on pot/cig smokers, though.

I shampoo and condition once per week. Hair has seemed to become much healthier since I started doing this vs shampooing like 4-5 times per week.

The hell it doesn't, my hair is thick and doesn't look good or sit right without product.

Everything is a trade off.

Just because shampoo harms your hair in some way doesn't mean it's a net negative. It's certainly better than having greasy, smelly hair.
