She shared her hair growth tips on Reddit’s NoPoo forum, which has more than 426,000 members.

According to health blog The crispy elk“No-poo” refers to washing your hair without using shampoo.

Similarly, using shampoos that are free of sulfates, parabens or silicones is called “low poo”.

LONGER LOCKS

The Redditor said she maintains her “curly 3a” locks using “no-poo” after previously trying the Curly Girl Method.

“My left side had baby hairs that were really annoying me until they finally started growing,” she said, writing under the name Namesofpens.

“It’s been 2 years, but I see progress.”

She shared the importance of massaging her scalp and using natural oils to stimulate hair growth.

“Scratching and brushing really help promote circulation and keep the hair follicles healthy,” she said.

“Once a week I do a nighttime oil bath with amla oil for volume in my hair and a homemade scalp oil mix.”

She revealed that the blend contained castor oil, almond oil and avocado oil with a “hint” of lemon, ylang ylang, peppermint and rosemary essential oils.

“They are known to improve circulation and promote scalp and hair health,” she said.

“You can also use tea tree if your scalp is dry and flaky, or add a little honey if your scalp needs some moisturizer.

“Do something in the background and give your scalp a good, thorough massage.”

She shared that the last step in her hair care routine is aimed at preventing hair loss.

“Rinsing with fermented rice water or leave-in sprays helped me immensely with hair thinning and loss,” she said.

“I bought a silk cap to sleep in and tuck my hair in lightly.”

Many people upvoted the post to show their gratitude for the hair care advice.

SHAMPOO EXCHANGES

According to Healthlineno poop can improve hair health and texture while potentially exposing hair to fewer “irritating” chemicals.

The method may be most suitable for people with curly or very coarse hair, as the natural oils of the scalp can condition the hair.

Many people who choose the no-poo diet swap their shampoo for apple cider vinegar or baking soda, or only use conditioner to wash their hair.

Experts advise people with fine or thin hair to stretch the time between washes rather than not using shampoo at all, as hair becomes greasy quickly.
