六年不用洗发水 发质竟变好?

Writer shuns shampoo for six years

A writer has revealed why she stopped washing her hair six years ago after embarking on a quest to try and control her greasy, limp locks - by avoiding shampoo.

美国一位作家透露,她在六年前尝试不用洗发水,成功解决了头发油腻枯燥的问题.

New Yorker Sarah Theeboom was inspired to give up using products on her hair after she ran into an old friend whose once dry, frizzy locks were smooth and shiny. When Sarah asked for her secret, her friend explained that she had simply stopped shampooing, opting to partake in the apparently-popular 'no poo' movement, which Sarah had never heard of until that moment.

纽约女作家萨拉·希博姆(Sarah Theeboom)有一回偶遇旧友,发现几年不见,她原先干燥蜷曲的头发变得顺滑光亮,就立马向她求教.老友告诉萨拉,她只不过没有再使用洗发水而已.萨拉这时才知道时下非常流行的"戒洗发水"运动('no poo' movement).

'I wasn't in love with it, and I just didn't really know what to do,' she told Seventeen. 'I wanted to try my friend's trick and stop shampooing.'

她说:"刚开始我并不喜欢也不习惯,我只是不知道还有什么更好的方法可以改善发质,想试一下朋友的方法."

Although her friend warned her that her scalp and hair would go through a nasty adjustment period, Sarah wasn't prepared for the dandruff and excessive amounts of grease that she first experienced after she first started shunning shampoo during a three-week vacation to Thailand.

尽管朋友当时曾提醒她,刚开始不用洗发水,头皮和头发肯定会经过一段难受的适应时期,萨拉在刚开始的三周还是对过多的头屑和油脂措手不及,当时她正在泰国度假.

Sarah recalled that during those first few weeks her hair was the 'greasiest' it had ever been.

萨拉回忆刚开始不用洗发水的那几周,她的头发十分油腻.

'I was so embarrassed that I didn't want to show my head to anyone,' she explained.

"我每天都特别尴尬,完全不想让别人看到我的头发."她说.

Despite the fact that she 'almost cracked' and went back to shampoo, she forged on with her mission.

尽管很难熬,无数次想重新用洗发水洗头,但是她还是忍住了.

After vacation she started wrapping her hair with headbands every day. When she showered she would wet her hair and scrub her scalp with her fingers. And even though her boyfriend was critical of the idea, Sarah explained that, by this point, she 'felt committed' to her cause.
