Meet Iris Heikinen, a 24-year-old from Finland who runs a blog focused on women’s self-care and beauty tips. However, what really caught our attention is her bold decision to stop using shampoo.
Iris embarked on an intriguing experiment, refraining from shampooing her hair for a whole two years, along with abstaining from balms and conditioners. The results of her unconventional journey are truly remarkable.
The initial motivation behind her decision stemmed from persistent issues with her hair. Iris’s scalp was perpetually itchy, despite her efforts to alleviate the discomfort using remedies like apple cider vinegar and baking soda. Various hair products had also failed to provide a solution.
So, Iris opted for a radical change and chose to rely solely on water for hair care, occasionally applying coconut oil to her hair’s ends. The outcome is truly astonishing: her hair now appears smooth and silky, and most importantly, her scalp no longer itches.
Reflecting on her unique journey, Iris explained, “A few years ago, I used to shampoo regularly, but it left my scalp excessively dry. That’s when I decided to forgo hair care products. Initially, my hair became oily and unkempt within the first few weeks. However, with time, the transformation was remarkable. People who see me now often inquire about the secret behind my hair’s radiance.”
Iris further noted that many find it hard to believe when she shares her shampoo-free journey. Even during her time at university, she occasionally experimented with natural hair products, only to encounter skin irritations.
The transformation of Iris Heikinen’s hair is a testament to her unconventional approach to beauty, ultimately resulting in healthier, itch-free, and radiant locks, which leave others in awe.
