I just don’t get it, I was trying to not use shampoo or use less of it, but when I train I really need it the same with soap, I don’t understand how our ancestors clean themselves without chemicals that now we have, and I don’t know if it’s a thing like washing your teeth that actually increase your life expectations.

Theres actually studies done that show you dont need shampoo and overuse of it can actually be damaging as it strips, out the natural oils that your hair creates. During quarantine I tested it myself. I went 2 months using only warm water to wash my hair. After about 3 weeks I started to notice that my hair was soft and similar to when I used shampoo and conditioner. However if it got wet it became coarse fast and sweat made it worse fast.
Basically the point of my little story is, they are not 100% needed to get by. I only went back to shampoo because after quarantine I did manual labor for a while and the sweat made it mangy looking.
A lot of hair specialist recommend not shampooing every day but more every 2-3 days. Shampoo just clings to the dirt and oils to pull them out faster, you can still get clean without it.
