No shampoo is said to have various benefits such as a healthier scalp and improved hair quality.
In this article, we will explain in detail the effects of no-shampoo, how to do it correctly, and what to look out for.

What is No Shampoo?
No-shampoo is a hair care method that is washed only with hot water without using shampoo.
It is sometimes called "Yushan" or "Nopoo".
It is a method that originated in the United States and Europe, where there is a strong preference for naturalism, and is said to be effective in preventing damage from excessive sebum removal and chemical substances contained in shampoo, and has recently attracted attention in Japan.
How does no shampoo work?
Here's a closer look at what no shampoo can do.
The condition of the scalp improves
Shampoo has a high cleaning power, so if you wash it too much, it will remove even the necessary sebum.
When the amount of sebum decreases, the barrier function collapses and the scalp becomes dry, and on the contrary, excess sebum is produced in order to produce less sebum, causing problems such as dandruff, itching, and stickiness.
In addition, if the scalp is not in good condition, healthy hair will not grow, which may lead to increased hair loss and gray hair.
No shampoo is said to have the effect of leaving a moderate amount of sebum and improving the condition of the scalp and growing healthy hair.
Prevent problems caused by chemical substances
The surfactants and silicones in the shampoo help to remove stains and improve the touch of the skin.
However, for some people, there are disadvantages such as scalp irritation, difficulty in applying perms and colors, and easy clogging of pores.
If you don't shampoo, you don't have to worry about getting a rash, and you can reduce scalp problems caused by unrinsed skin.
How to do no-shampoo correctly
・Brush carefully.
Brush dry hair carefully before taking a bath.
Brushing lifts dirt and dust from your hair, making it easier to remove dirt with just hot water. In addition, if you comb it well, your hair will be less likely to get tangled.
・Rinse thoroughly with hot water.
After brushing, apply hot water of about 38~40°C to the scalp and rinse for about 5 minutes.
At this time, it is important to wet and wash not only the hair but also the scalp thoroughly. Do not stand up your nails, but wash while massaging your scalp with the pads of your fingers.
Water that is too hot will dry out your scalp, so if you are concerned about dryness, pay attention to the temperature.
・Towel dry before dryer
Before drying with a hairdryer, towel dry to remove excess moisture.
The trick is not to scrub it, but to gently pat it with a towel between your hair.
Dry food can cause odors, so dry it completely with a hairdryer after towel drying.
・ If you are concerned about squeaking, use "citric acid"
If you are concerned about squeaks and tangles due to dryness, it is a good idea to blend diluted citric acid into your hair before towel drying.
The cuticle of the hair is tightened and the hair becomes beautiful.
There are also precautions for no-champ
It is a no-shampoo that is effective in preventing scalp problems and hair loss, but there are some caveats.
No shampoo is not recommended for people who use styling products every day.
This is because styling products are difficult to remove with hot water alone, and they will remain on the hair. If styling products remain in your hair, it can cause scalp problems and damage to your hair.
Try to incorporate it in a creative way, such as using no shampoo only on days when you don't use styling products.
In addition, if a person with oily skin does not shampoo, the sebum may not be completely removed and the scalp may remain sticky and odorous.
If you feel even a slight abnormality, such as itchy scalp, odor, or tingling, it may not be suitable.
Find a method that suits you, such as starting with a frequency of 1~2 times a week or using a "cream shampoo" that does not lather.
Conclusion
If you use shampoo to wash your hair every day, you may have lost the sebum you need.
A new method of hair care that does not use shampoo, "no shampoo", has various advantages.
It may not be suitable for some people, so try it little by little from about 1~2 times a week to find the method that suits you.
