Haha, I guess somebody had to!
Contrary to popular belief, almost non of the products you hear so much about from your salon stylist & see so much of on television do anything good on a long term basis for your hair. Usually, all they do is coat the hair follicles or strip them of your own healthy, natural oils.
I stopped using anything but baby shampoo & kukui nut oil four years ago & I only wash my hair once -no rinse-and-repeating- every other day or even once every two days & ever since:
No more dandruff, oily hair, severe dryness or breakage. My scalp is healthy & my hair is always soft, strong & shiny.
The kukui nut oil is only once every one or two weeks for the very ends of my hair.Comment Hidden ( show )-

It's actually better to go a few days between washes to allow the natural oils to work through the hair.
But you're right, most shampoos just strip the hair, and the conditioner then coats it. The heavy perfumes cover over the "dirty hair" odor. Tea tree oil application will deodorize nicely.

Way ahead of you, darling.
I do a tea tree oil treatment once or twice in the winter months if I show even the slightest sign of dandruff developing.
Also, I've committed to weening myself off of washing with anything but water, a bit of baking soda & apple cider vinegar if necessary as a conditioner -& I plan to have to do even that much as rarely as possible. Au natural, baby.Comment Hidden ( show )

its not too bad, but I think it takes more work than people assume. However, for the forming of them, I let it happen naturally, just made sure they stayed seperate. You have to make sure they stay seperated as your hair grows, otherwise they will merge together. If they are too thin, they can break off. Contrary to popular belief, you have to wash them, but not too often. A few times a week is pretty good. You can dye them as well, it just takes longer to wash out, and longer to wash it in general. my arms get sore actually :) It takes all day to dry completly, too. But its worth it for me. I love my hair and so do a lot of people. Also, less than half of my ends are blunt, like most peoples are all blunt tips. Mine are special, more feminine looking. No brown tapered turds for me! :D (Brown ones are nice, but mine are much less common, around here, anyway :))

Well, the shampoo is for washing away dirt, bacteria, and oils, but the soap/detergent is harsh and also strips away the oils that make your hair stay soft and healthy when you rinse it out. Using conditioner restores the moisture that was lost in the act of shampooing. If you are only using conditioner, without any soap first, then you're effectively not getting clean enough and just adding more grease.
I could get really technical about it, but I'll save you.

I began losing my hair at 31. I found a soap called Dettol, which is made for white people who live in the tropics and have skin problems from the heat.
Since I have used that soap on my scalp, scrubbing vigorously, I have lost no more hair and it's been over 30 years.
I will use a shampoo and separate conditioner occasionally, but the Dettol seems to be fine.
No, I don't sell the stuff, nor do I have stock in the company; I'm just trying to help.Comment Hidden ( show ) -

Right now i'm not sure what shampoo brand its called but i got it at whole foods. It has Tea Tree Oil and its done a pretty good job. I try not to use so much conditioner afterwards since it makes my hair fall out so i avoid it on the scalp and just put conditioner on the tips.
