[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I've seen many photographs of Victorian era ladies' hair, and it generally looked very dry and frizzy to me, except for at the scalp, where it was flat and slick with scalp and applied oils.  It must have stunk.  I know they didn't wash it often, either.

I have naturally thick, shiny hair.  It definitely looks best when shampooed every day or every other day if I don't work out.

I HAVE noticed that every person I have known to be doing the "no poo" method OR white women who decide to wash their hair only once or twice a week THINKS their hair is "healthier", but it always looks flat and dull and there is sometimes a smell.

I can smell how oily people's hair is when they don't wash it daily.  I also smell dry shampoo and it stinks!  Silky hair must be washed daily, no exceptions.[/quote]

You're so rigid and ignorant. Individuals vary, PP. Your scalp adjusts the production of sebum to its environment. People who don't wash their hair frequently don't get oily hair immediately after washing their hair, and if they brush it carefully, they spread the little oil there is to the tips, thus protecting the hair shaft. People have added oil in their hair too, because long hair become dry and needs additional protection. Just a couple of drops are sufficient. This is what people did for millenia before indoor plumbing and clean and affordable water.

Hair odor is body odor, and highly depending on the person and the colonies of bacteria they host on their skin. Some people just don't stink as much as others. It's just a fact. My husband and son never stink except when they work out very intensely in the heat. My daughter and I stink at the drop of a hat. Life is not fair :-)
