The 'No Poo' movement promotes an alternative way of washing your hair with simple natural ingredients like baking soda or soap nuts.
It's a reaction to the excessive use of commercial, highly processed shampoo.
If you wash your hair every day with commercial shampoo it can have an adverse effect on your scalp, your hair and the environment.
Washing your hair too often makes the sebaceous glands work hard to produce sebum making your hair more and more oily. If you have a tendency for dry skin and hair, commercial shampoo can be drying for both skin and hair.
The 'No Poo' method is not really new, commercial shampoo as we know it has only been around since 1930s. For thousands of years in India people washed their hair with Shikakai or Soap Nuts.
