Iiris Heikkinen, a 24-year-old inhabitant of Finland, fully stopped using shampoos and conditioners a few years ago. Her hair now has a new appearance. Here is her story!
Iiris has always used organic cosmetics to take care of her hair. However, the girl cconstantly to experience itching and noticed redness and dryness of the skin even after using such treatments.
Heikkinen made the decision to adopt a more hygienic mindset back in 2017. It was after learning about the “No Poo Method” group on Facebook, whose members exclusively use natural cleaning techniques instead of shampoos and conditioners. She joined them!
Iris tried vinegar and baking soda at first, but the itching persisted, so she decided to just use normal water to wash her hair. Her hair appeared oily and unclean at first, but since she was at the clinic for surgery, the girl did not feel the need to wash it or give it any thought.
The “dirty” phase of the curls ended a few weeks later, and they resumed their prior regular appearance. Most likely, the hair was just able to regain the inherent ability to clean itself that it had lost as a result of coming into contact with detergent ingredients of the shampoos.
Heikkinen hasn’t used shampoo or conditioner since. She just uses water to rinse her hair and applies talc, coconut oil, and powdered neem leaves on a regular basis.
She claims there is no stench coming from her head as it is one of the most asked questions. Heikkinen, at least, is indifferent to the fragrance of her skin and has never had outsiders make remarks about it. Iiris’s admission that she doesn’t use her typical detergents and beauty products surprises everyone.
The hair looks amazing, by the way. They developed stronger curls, increased in thickness and density, and even took on a purer, lighter hue. She is happy with her decision. Don’t forget to share this unusual story with your family and friends, and ask them how they feel about this kind of choices!
