The result of this "quarantine" experiment was unexpected for observers, writes Wday.ru.
One of the most famous British TV presenters Suzanne Konstantin can afford to go to beauty salons at least every day. The condition of the 57-year-old TV div is estimated at about 6 million euros.
But with the beginning of quarantine, Suzanne decided on a strange experiment. She generally stopped washing her hair. More precisely, under the shower, the star rinsed her hair, but did not use either shampoo or other detergents.
“Friends have always complimented me on two things. They praised my smooth botox-free skin (it's hereditary) and my thick, beautiful hair. ”
“It was the hairstyle that supported my self-esteem, even on bad days when I felt fat or old. But the years on television and the accompanying "abuse" of curling irons, hair dryers and liters of styling products still do their job. Therefore, when the self-isolation regime was announced, I felt that it was time to do something radical - for example, to stop washing my hair, ”Suzanne wrote in her microblog.

Indeed, there is a theory according to which after some time the hair begins to "self-clean." So Konstantin decided to check whether this is so. She shared the intermediate and final results with subscribers.
Next - from the first person.
The first week of shampoo withdrawal is not new: I already try to wash my hair not every day. I always thought that washing too often provokes fat production, which leads to a vicious circle: the more often you use shampoo, the faster your head becomes dirty. So, I often take a shower, but no shampoo or soap touches my hair.
The second week
Somewhere in the middle of the second week things turn out for the worse. My hair seems normal when it is dry. But when I enter the shower and they get wet, they turn into something disgusting. My hands are instantly covered with fat, and my hair seems like a heavy, wet, oily sponge. I still just rinse them with water, but it's the same as trying to wash a greasy pan without any means.
Third week
Just then I thought: what the hell am I doing? My hair is my pride, and now it looks awful. So I allowed myself to rinse them with diluted apple cider vinegar, and then apply a few drops of lavender oil. My youngest daughter Sisi said: your hair smells like dog hair when you just washed it.
Fourth week
My hair looks much healthier and thicker. Internet experts say that this means that I’m close to completing the terrible “transitional” phase, as my hair adapts to a new routine. I desperately miss the feeling of cleanliness that I got from shampoo. Nevertheless, during this period I conducted several interviews at Zoom, and people did not slam the laptop covers with disgust. On the contrary, I even received a couple of compliments.

Fifth week
I regularly use a special massage brush for my scalp. This appears to reduce dandruff and help control fat secretion.
“Unexpectedly, but my hair is getting a healthy shine. The main plus is that the head dries quickly after a shower. ”
In addition, hair is much easier to style - you do not need conditioner, gel, wax, spray and a number of products that from all sides convince us to buy. Although there are cons. I thoroughly clean my scalp at least twice a day and spend a lot of time on it.
Sixth week
“The cashier in the supermarket near the house, which sees me every day, notices that my hair looks different, and makes a compliment. But some of my subscribers criticize me, calling me dirty. ”
So, I sum up. My hair is by no means dirty - I rinse it in the shower every two or three days. Then I comb them and leave to dry. I also thoroughly brush my head, at least once a day, with a special hair brush that I try to keep clean.
On this my experiment is over, and, unlike some hardcore people, I do not set myself the goal of permanently stop using shampoo. But now I am determined to wash my hair only once every two weeks, using a small amount of shampoo, but to give up balms and conditioners.
