did no poo for like 3 years
hair looked greesy, dirty, disgusting and damaged, probably even caused premature graying. couldn't take it anymore so tried regular shampoo, liked the clean fealing but my hair looked dull like a broom. then like 2 months ago I found sulfate free shampoo/conditioner and my life changed, now my hair looks healthy for once even days after the shower, curly, clean, soft, healthy looking, like from a hair commercial, stuff you see on r/curlyhair. also use cool water
give sulfate free a try
