I don’t have a routine. I’ll wash and condition maybe once a week with a shampoo and conditioner that are on the lower side of the bs spectrum. Haven’t found any I swear by. Color is from the sun. Hair always looks best after I get the first surf in after I wash it. It’s been stuck at this length for years maybe due to lack of care for it. GM View quoted note →

I went shampoo and soap free more than 5 years ago. My skin and hair are more healthy than ever. An abrasive rag and hot water are just fine. I only use soap if ive been working on something greasy.
Everyday, you shed hair. As your hair grows longer, more long hairs fall out. Then it reaches a balance point where the amount of long hair loss counteracts the growth speed of your hair.
I don't think hair ever stops growing. Each hair eventually dies and falls out.
plus, your longest hairs are the oldest, so are more likely to die than younger and shorter hair
I read in to it once and I found that everybody’s hair has a natural length that it stops at? But I also just am rough on mine so prob could be longer
Luffa for me. I use hand soap and wash my feet with my homemade soap. I shampoo once a month, but use one of those rubbery scalp massagers every shower. Soap in general I think is a left over from when we didn't have hot running water ubiquity.
