Hi! Nanaco here from Nano Yoga, usually I show weekly yoga videos for snowboarders and skiers but the pandemic, the Black Lives Matters protests and grieving my father’s death which happened right as the COVID lockdowns started in France, but I sadly never visited. I’ve been a total potato and haven’t had the courage to post much on youtube. Especially as I’d like to move more into wellness and also other topics which interests me and hopefully for you too.

What’s no poo?
No Poo, means No Shampoo, cos you can’t Not Poo for the rest of your life but you can not use shampoo! This seriously blew my mind, that this was a thing and yes I did have a friend explain this to me but his hair did also always look greasy, so I wasn’t convinced.

Until The Fuddhist, an influencer who advocates for natural alternatives in food and health, got me researching and well I took the plunge.

Why No Poo?
dandruff/dry scalp
I just knew intuitively that this could really help my scalp heal and it did!
I was using Lush shampoo bars, which were probably way too drying for my scalp, but they just smelt so good!

Why Start?
Which started out in the pandemic situation, isolation was a perfect time to try this.

The process of No Poo method
Started 8 weeks ago now, look at my hair :)
Getting used to not washing my hair, no pretty smell, no relief from grease!
First 2 weeks were grose
Of course any questions, feel free to comment below!
It was greasy for about a month, 4 - 5 weeks.
Do not use Baking Soda! It can damage your hair, it is way too strong.

Relief from the grease
So finally now as you can see, when I wash my hair with just water, it is actually clean.
Still smells like hair but its not greasy and its not itchy and its not flakey!
It can also help your skin if you need to detox from products too.

How to No Poo?
Very simple, try to not wash your hair, I would wash my hair with water in the shower, maybe 2 - 3 times a week at first.
It will be weird to wash your hair with no shampoo
I also make hair rinses, where I boil rosemary or mint for 20 mins and sieve it into a jar, that I keep by the shower, but use it within a few days if you live in a hot climate
Hair rinses, there’s a few online if you research it, rosemary is known for stimulating the scalp and promotes hair growth. There’s a few rinses you can make but make sure you don’t use baking soda in it.


Relief from this mental game we are played by Advertising and Haircare companies.
I know we’re not animals but I don’t see bears out in the wild needing to shampoo and condition their hair! And they live in nature 24/7.
Once the greasiness ended, my mind was blown. That my hair could keep itself healthy, without the use of condition or a hair mask.
That my scalp could have relief from dandruff/ dry scalp, from just water washing rather than adding more chemicals onto my scalp!

Will I continue to No Poo?
Yes!
Although I had a dream last night that I would use shampoo and I felt disappointed about this choice and this time I wasted not using shampoo, haha maybe it was a sign? To keep no pooing. Ha

Would I recommend No Poo?
YES!
Obviously, everyone is different, I didn’t change my diet or much else so I do think personally it worked for me but obviously you may have a different experience.
