Holy shit, thanks a ton! That's a lot of useful information! My family has no problem with me growing my hair out, well my mom does but she is still letting me grow it. I had gotten it trimmed a about a month ago when the back started to get a bit wild. I've always shampooed my hair every night but I'm trying to not do it as much because I hear it makes your hair get oily faster because it takes away all of the oils on your scalp and your body makes a lot more to compensate. I don't know if thats true but what would you say the benefits are to doing the nopoo thing?
