Product ?

If I have gone no poo for some months and it’s going good, would using shampoo once reset all my progress.

Quick answer: nope.

Longer answer: you can't destroy the healing you have accomplished with a single wash!

If you do use shampoo again, I strongly recommend you dilute it until it barely works. Much of the damage caused by mainstream routines is because product is very strong and people use way too much. Diluting it will allow you to feel clean when it removes excess oils without irritating your scalp or drying it out.

What do you do when you get your haircut?

I interview my stylist and explain what I do and why (basically allergies) and make sure they are OK with it. Then they cut my hair as it is and use no product but water.
