Not with coloured hair, my hair is white and also not long term, but I recently didn't wash my hair at all for 16 days and it was absolutely fine. I was told it would "self cleanse" and it did. It was not greasy and didn't smell. When I did wash it very gently with a minimum amount of shampoo, it looked great and very shiny.i do not intend ever to go back to every few days.

Over a year ago my daughter stopped washing her hair. I was horrified at first but once she educated me I was intrigued. For those who haven't heard of it, it basically means she's stopped using shampoo and conditioner. She 'washes' her hair but less frequently and with natural products and her hair look fab now. I looked into it but as the most common 'wash' for the hair in baking soda, it's too alkaline for my coloured hair (I refuse to go grey yet). Has anyone started no pooing with coloured hair?
