Washing hair with conditioner only?

washing your hair with conditioner only would be a bad idea in my opinion. Conditioner isn't made to "wash" hair and from what I've read conditioner can clog the pores of the scalp. As far as I know there are no negative effects of not washing the hair except for having greasy smelly hair. If you are afraid of using shampoo because of harsh chemicals maybe you can check into an organic shampoo....maybe tea tree oil shampoo. Hope this helps.

Some people say that you don't need to shampoo everyday. The shampoo if harsh enough will strip your hair of the nutrient it needs to be strong.
I used to take showers twice a day and shampooing it once a day.
But now I'm taking a shower every other day. Hope my hair will regrow.

What do you suppose those "nutrients" are that shampoo supposedly strips your hair of? I've frequently cited a set of studies by no less an authority than Kligman which found that even thorough washings with pure ETHER (!) left the hair in a good, attractive condition with a lustrous feel to it. If you'd like, I can dig up some quotes from that study and post them here.
I tend to think that a lot of this concern over "harsh shampoos" is just silly paranoia.
