What is the no-poo ?

At the time of the shower, it is washed its hair with its conditioner, its care cream or its mask but especially no shampoo. The principle of the no poo method: thus create a protective envelope on the hair fiber to protect it and hydrate non-stop. According to those who are followers of no poo , in 1 week the hair gain flexibility and shine. Obviously this phenomenon comes from the United States. In France the no poo method was popularized by the Opalis institute.

Why wash your hair without shampoo?

It is usually summer that there is an interest in going to no poo . Because you get out of the beach or the pool ... not the subway. Our hair is not really dirty, they mostly need to be rinsed. So why inflict an unnecessary dose of washing agents?
Obviously, the controversy over the presence of sulphates in shampoos helping, the no poo seduces more and more women. Including city dwellers who adapt it. The method is totally practicable on a daily basis.

What hair care to use?

Obviously not any. The no poo can only be realized with a care without silicone, under penalty of weighing down the hair.
