...The best shampoo is NO shampoo. Try not shampooing for 6 weeks, it will get worse before it gets better, but once your body has restored the natural balance to your hair (oils etc) then your hair will look and feel better than ever before. My hairdress asked what product I use, I SAID NOTHING BITCH!

6 weeks

Phil! is far too young to know this, but several years ago there was a series of programmes on television about the body. One programme featured a woman with long, thick, curly hair and her special task was to go without washing her hair for a couple of months. This was a challenge for someone who normally washed it daily!

It went through stages which, if I remember correctly were:

• greasy
  
• itchy as hell
  
• smells like a sheep
  
• stops smelling awful
  
• looks wonderful

By the end of the programme she was a convert to washing her hair just with water. My hair was similar in those days (thick, long and curly that is), but I could never summon up the courage to try the same thing. These days, it's all just a distant memory ...
