I will second this - I haven't used soap or shampoo for 3 years except for hands. I use a stick deodorant.

It all started when my favorite hair conditioner was discontinued! I spent unhappy months trying to find a replacement. That got me to thinking, and wondering why I was spending so much money on product, killing my skin biome, and sending all that product down the drain.

At first I had to get used to my skin feeling a little stickier than I liked. Now I don't notice at all. When I don't regularly work out and work up a sweat, my hair and ears will tend to get a bit greasy. I also find I keep my hair a bit shorter. Showers are much faster.

My closest companion doesn't complain about any smell, but she also doesn't tell me anymore that my hair smells good.

I was just going to try it out for a while, but now I am sure it's permanent.
