Historical people knew what they were doing when it came to growing long hair, and their hair care routines were SO different than ours.
Did you know that frequently washing your hair can actually be harmful to our hair health? Does this mean we have to have dirty hair? We will be myth-busting in this video about how washing hair with water is NOT the only way to keep it clean. We’ll cover other ways that historical people used to “dry cleanse” hair without the need for shampoo and water.
In this video we’ll also talk about some dangers of modern conventional shampoos, as well as problems with wet detangling hair, and with the curly girl method. Shhh - we’ll also learn some shocking facts about how often historical people bathed, and what we can learn from that for hair care.

My grandma had her 87th birthday last week. She was born in a village located on Pindus Mountains, Greece. Last week she told me that during World War II, they washed their hair once a week with lye, which they made by boiling wood ash and water. They also rinsed with wine vinegar (possibly white) and the reason was because it softened the hair and prevented hair lice. Additionally, although it wasn't part of their hair care routine, they knew they could use chicken eggs as a hair mask. Whenever my grandmother tells us stories from those difficult times of the past she never fails to mention the long blonde, shiny and beautiful hair her grandmother had, so it was time to learn more about this and share it with you!

@naturapura7819 3 месяца назад

Fun fact, same method of washing was used in whole Balkan Peninsula, my grandmother was born and raised in Bosnia (1913.) she had same hair routine until maybe 1970-80, her hair was always braided in one very healthy thick braid and she used head scarf. I am not shure what have contributed to health of her hair but it was really great hair. She lived in village where was no pollutants, food was home grown and water was from mountain spring.

simply washing less has made my hair stronger and my curls are coming back

@peacheedandee 7 дней назад

Ain't none of these methods going to work for my fine, frizzy/ curly hair (type 3) and living in the desert. Baby fine hair strands break and break, no matter what product you put into it. Katherine's hair is probably coarse and strong and that's why it gets so long.

@thegracklepeck 4 месяца назад

We also have to differentiate between washing (more like sponge bathing with a cloth and basin of water on a wash stand) and bathing (submerging your body in a large quantity of water). Most people likely did the former a lot more often than the latter just cause it was incredibly time consuming and labor intensive to collect and heat enough water to bathe your entire body at once.

@JayeEllis 4 месяца назад

Precisely. There are plenty of ways to stay clean without submerging oneself fully in a bath or shower.

@RR-yh6vr 4 месяца назад

I've had very long hair most of my life, excepting the times I have cut it to my shoulders for donation. Though I have a self imposed max length. Once it becomes a risk of falling into the toilet water, it needs a trim. 😂 I wash it once every few weeks, never comb while wet, boar bristle brushing, natural oils instead of 'product, ' and am a braiding wizard so I can get it out of my way anytime I want. My hair is incredibly low maintenance and I love that.

@nanaronhano337 4 месяца назад

My opinion is that it matters how your personal hair and scalp behaves. My sister can easily go 3 weeks without washing and her hair will still look fresh and beautiful. My hair at the one week mark will be itchy and sometimes already have buildup since I work out almost daily and sweat a lot. As long as your hair still feels and looks fine, do whatever works for you!

@magiv4205 3 месяца назад

It is indeed dependant on genetics, but also on your existing hair routine. Not only do most people use the wrong shampoo for their type, shampoo wrong and lather their whole hair instead of only the scalp, their hair is also used to being stripped of all its oils and nutrients daily, so naturally their scalp produces even more oil. We can teach our scalp to produce less oil, but I'll admit it takes patience and bridging the gross phase with dry shampoo, head wraps and protective styles until you get to a healthy interval. I think this is what turns many people off of trying this, which is understandable. I was lucky enough to start caring seriously for my hair during the pandemic, so a bit of that social pressure was taken off. But it's definitely possible, it took me maybe three months to get from a 3-day inverval to a consistent two weeks, which I am pretty happy with.

I believe this happens because for the past 6 months I have been washing my hair once a month ,because i kept getting a scalp reaction to any shampoo I tried . I took antihystamines on prescription but still had the problem .So I decided to wash it with mild shampoo meant for new babies and use no conditionr ,once a month and my hair suddenly began to grow much faster .

All these people who claim they only wash once a month or whatever and they don’t smell I believe have become nose blind to themselves. I just don’t believe someone can have that degree of sebum and dirt accumulated on their hair and not have an odor to them. No amount of brushing or using powder is going to get rid of that. It needs to be physically washed away.

@Graciadarling100 3 месяца назад

@@batacumbaEvery hair is different. It depends on porosity too. Some people's hair don't get that much product buildup and doesn't produce as much natural oils,so washing frequently would dry out their hair.People who produce more oils hair will smell dirty faster than people who does not, it all depends on hair type , porosity etc.

@Emotionallyattachedtorocks 25 дней назад

She usually keeps it up so it’s less exposed. But you can tell she doesn’t cleanse it regularly. But she does use rinses regularly and with that combo she probably doesn’t need to cleanse or “clarify” every day like most women in western culture.

I started watching your hair care videos about a year and a half ago. For four years, my hair just wasn't getting longer. It literally stayed at the top of my shoulders. Guess who bought into the curly girl method?😅 I had already been using a natural shampoo and just jumped into the information you shared. Natural shampoo three times a month, rhasoull clay wash, finger detangle and combing. In that year and a half? My hair is now down to my center bra strap. Matter fact? Tonight was the first loose bun night I've had since I was 15 years old. ❤ Thank you for sharing what you've learned with us. Saved my sanity and faith in my hair. 😊❤

@linseyk5728 4 месяца назад

I cannot use natural oil treatments on my scalp/hair without using shampoo to rinse them out completely. They build up on my hair and do not let moisture through without shampoo. Rhassoul clay is not enough for certain oils. This should be mentioned.

@annaclement9858 4 месяца назад

To rinse out very thick oils I recommend boiled rosemary infusion with freshly squeezed lemon juice and apple cider vinegar (only a little bit). Massaging this into your hair/scalp after having untangled it will leave it squeaky clean.

I have straight hair, but it's mid-thigh length. It's been almost a year since I used shampoo and switched to clay. I recently started adding shikakai powder, and I find it MUCH easier to detangle. It gets finger detangled and boar hair brushed out daily. My hair is at its least manageable freshly washed, and gets easier to work with when it has more oil worked down the shafts. I also find keeping my ends tucked in my protective style keeps them from drying.

Not washing my hair for a week at a time, for a fully year, unfortunately caused hair loss for me. When I went back to washing my hair every other day I saw improvements and my hair loss became less and less... I now no longer pull clumps of hair from my scalp when I wash it and it's much more fuller. My hair grows like a weed anyway so it's almost down to my butt again after cutting it shoulder length last year.

@BiddyBiccy 4 месяца назад

I think it needs to be stressed that, although people definitely bathed a lot less back in the day, they did WASH. Bathing refers to soaking all of your body in water. As Katherine says, this was logistically a big hassle, especially for the lower classes, so people would instead use something like a jug and bowl and they would wash daily using a cloth, with fresh water in the jug. This took care of the dirtiest areas on a daily basis, and it meant the person could wash one area of their body at a time while remaining clothed over the other areas, which was practical especially in winter, and for modesty too (particularly among the lower classes who were often many people to a room). It also made it easy to be able to wash in a person's own bedchamber. Women would wash their hair with this method too, without having to have a full bath. I grew up like this in my early childhood as I lived in an old 18th century cottage which had no bathroom, so we used to have a bath once a week using a tin bath in front of the hearth. My brother and I would bathe first, then my mother, then my father. It was a lot of work to fill the small tub with hot water and empty it, so between bathers my parents would take a couple of bucketfuls of used water out and add a couple of bucketfuls of clean hot water in to freshen it up. Then each day during the week we used a jug and bowl of hot water to have a daily morning wash of the necessary areas. It's a common misunderstanding that people in the olden days must have all stank to high heaven as they didn't bathe, when in fact cleanliness was important to most people throughout history, especially after the spread of Christianity. They may not have approved of public bathing but they believed in keeping clean. Nice smells and smooth clean skin has always been attractive. Just thought I'd mention that as a clarification ☺️

@carinaekstrom1 4 месяца назад

Me too. I've only been getting my hair wet once a month for years, and that's when I color it with a blend of red henna and indigo (to get a dark brown). This way my hair has gotten much longer and healthier as well. The scalp seems to be self cleansing. But I've never mentioned this to anyone before, because they might think my hair must be so dirty. But it's not! I shower every day though, with water only, because my skin is too dry for soap. Ok, now my secret is out.

@VrilDerzhava 4 месяца назад

Could I ask how you found the right combination of red henna and indigo for your hair? I'm 46 and would like to try. But seeing the too-red henna colours always put me off. I don't want to end up with orange hair! I'm currently using a natural hair dye to cover my white hairs, but it's still a bit harsh for my liking. Also, did you do a sensitivity test beforehand to find out if you have a henna allergy? I've heard they can be common.

@RunninUpThatHillh 4 месяца назад

In case you don't get an answer..I get mine from Night Blooming. She has an independent site and etsy. Her personal shop has an option for your own hair color (I use Enyo, which I love). She can make a brown. I've bought all of my hair products including bar shampoo from her for years.

@carinaekstrom1 4 месяца назад

@@VrilDerzhava No, I didn't do an allergy test, but I don't have any allergies so wasn't worried. Maybe others should test. As far as color, I think it's very individual and best to just experiment with amounts. And I don't know if it would work on hair that is totally grey. I only have some grey, but still mostly my natural dark brown. I think there's also color free henna (Cassia Obovata) that could be experimented with.

The father of the family wouldn’t go out if it looked like it was going to rain.I used to have to wash my hair every 2 days to keep it from getting greasy ,that is until it started going gray. For some reason it doesn’t seem to get greasy now that it is mostly gray.

I just went 3 months not washing my hair out of complete depression, & my hair has grown tremendously from just brushing it & braiding daily. I don't use extra oils as my scalp gets oily, but the hair growth & length is real. I was only ever washing my hair once a week because my wavy hair would become straw. SLS in haircare gave me constant hives, so it was easy to quit washing often when you're suffering. Now I have no excuses, but if I want to grow my hair quickly, I don't wash every week. I don't use anything but charcoal on my scalp to dry/purify much like the clay. When I do wash, I use a nice salt scrub & whatever shampoo I like at the time- it doesn't really matter. I do comb with conditioner in, but not aggressively. I really adore my tangle teaser for that because my hair mats easily (I have fine waves & spirals, but lots of them). But usually I use my hairbrush from Crown Affair because it has ethically sourced boar bristles & wooden handles. It really does make a huge difference in shine & length to spread your own skin oil from the root to tip. People might think (after I said this) "oh that must be/feel dirty", but charcoal & clay really do wonders- I feel like a chinchilla taking a dust bath 😄 but hey, if it ain't broke... don't fix it!

My hair is a raggedy shoulder length, and I refuse to cut it as I refuse to be an old lady who cuts her hair short like most because it's easier. I want long hair. My features don't do well with short. Though most would say my hair is short now as it shrinks to my chin. We are struggling with the clay wash getting the oil out of our hair. How did you or do you do this, I mean maybe not out so much as to lose that greasey feeling. We live in NM USA and in winter it's a dry no one can define, and in summer it's dehydrated 100% of the time. So climate is dry and our hair is dry and the oil feels greasy. Could you please do a video on what you did for protective styles when you were short in length and the things you did in the beginning to help keep from greasing up every shirt and couch and anything that touched your hair? Please help!! I so appreciate all I've learned so far from you in this, but us beginners may need a little more than your brief overview of before you are now and a long repeated shpeel about historical hair care. I get it and got it but it feels like this is really all you talk about. How do you dry clean your hair? Other than boar bristle brushing, I'm pretty sure my hair isn't strong enough for this type of cleansing yet. Was your formula different at the beginning? How did it change and what did you struggle with the most in the very beginning? It would be so helpful if you could talk less about historical hair care and more detailed about the things you do. Smiles and blessings...

I’ve always washed my hair between once a week and once a fortnight, my whole life. The only two exceptions have been when I tried curly girl method and when I tried water washing only. When I did CGM I found I had to wash every 2-3 days and that wasn’t because my scalp needed it but because my hair strands were so gunky with products. I couldn’t stand the feel of my hair and hated not being able to run my fingers through it. So after a year I gave up CGM. With the water only it worked a treat for a while but then my hair got funky. So now I wash about every 7-12 days and I alternate between a natural cleansing shampoo plus deep conditioner, and cowashing. Works for me. I’ve given up oiling because I didn’t see much benefit on my hair. I mostly finger detangle with occasional brushing with wooden pin brush or boar bristle brush. For me the biggest obstacle to length retention comes from mechanical damage. Wearing a protective style on a daily basis makes a huge difference.

Grateful for your videos. I have two kids and I am attentive to them 24 hours a day. I imagine having more children is even more demanding. Sometimes I literally can't remember the last time I had a shower. The dirtiness of my hair is my clue as to how long it's been (about a week at most). When I was a teenager, I could grow my hair down to my waist and no longer. Now, it won't even grow that long. I'm going to try these methods. You're hair is awesome and a huge inspiration. My hair won't get that wonderfully thick I'm sure, but I'm going for the length!!! Thank you!

Thank you for another useful video on hair care! I just watched your vid from about a year ago where you go through your whole routine as it was back then. I used to use ghassoul clay on my hair years ago but gave up as I found it so difficult to wash out without leaving residue, but I mixed it much too thick. I'm going to try your method instead to see if I can make it work. My hair type is quite different from yours, but my daughters are both half Moroccan so they have much more dry, curly, frizzy hair which I've been struggling to help them look after. I'm sure your tips will really help them.

My routine has been amazing for my fine straight hair because I dye it magenta and the maintenance on my color has gone down. I have plans to dye my hair purple when I am out of my pink conditioner and I’m pretty sure the supplies that I have will last me a year. I put beet root powder in my hair powder to match my current hair. My hair has gone from a pixie cut to past my collar bones in 1.5 years. It has been crazy being on a more natural product journey from just watching your first video on this 2 years ago.

Great video! I am glad this worked for you and I am sure many others will have the same experience. However having fine thin oily hair, I was told that washing my hair less would thin it more by a trichologist. Therefore some people don't benefit from this. I am sure washing too often is also bad, but keeping your follicles clogged if you alread have oiliness can turn into hair loss. Yikes!

While i congratulate you on your decision to wash or not wash your hair, for me its a difficult thing to do. I have always had a scratchy scalp & big oily. While i still use shampoo and cond everyday to every other day, my hair is fine but loads of it. If it gets past my shoulders it hurts. Which thats not an issue. I like the way it looks just past the collarbone. No poo will never work for me and im ok with that. Ive tried countless times to get past the difficult stage but never can. Ive always been an itchy person and my scalp, my skin, is hyper sensitive. I do notice a faster growth when ive switched to organic and no SLSs. And i stopped brushing and combing my hair over 10 yrs ago. Rare split ends since. So i do believe you have to do what works for you and what your patience is. I also believe if those a century more ago came to todays wash and go...theyd do it in a heartbeat. They would be amazed and thankful that such a thing could be done w sham and cond. Not saying theyd do it everyday, but theyd be happy to use it.

Can you share your tips for washing out oil treatments with rhassoul clay? Clay works great for a regular wash, but I find it doesn’t wash out oil treatments so I have to end up shampooing it out.

@kordeliaodette1845 4 месяца назад

I do a 1-2 day deep oil treatment, then apply powdered clay directly to my hair. Be careful not to get in eyes. I then cover my hair with a "bonnet" I believe they are called... and leave it in for half a day minimum before rinsing out - usually I end up doing a day and a half oil treatment and the clay treatment for the second half of the second day, give or take a few hours. It takes a while to rinse all the clay out, but it definitely removes all the oil from the treatment for me. I was having the same problem with the clay rinse method not removing the oily texture and this was my solution. Been doing so for over a year now and it's never not worked for me.

I love the clay wash which extends the window of time i have to clean my hair. I also tried to shampoo with curly girl shampoo after the clay wash and my scalp itched for days! I can only use the clay wash now. The clay is a mess for my tub so i actually wash my hair outside off the back balcony. I felt like the clay was stopping up the tub in addition to staining, but it is by far my favorite method to shampoo so i adjusted. I dont like vinegar for conditioner because the smell.. the vinegar smell is released at times (like at the pool, so maybe when it gets wet again). So i have yet to find a natural alternative for commercial conditioner other than oils.

My goal is not to have long hair, but to have SOME hair. I started getting male pattern baldness, after HRT pellets, I stopped them and have tried everything under the sun. Currently, I am doing the MSM and the AMLA powder, I put both in my coffee with half and half, and I can't taste it. I have only been doing it for a month and a half, so I can't tell if anything is happening. I am going to do the clay shampoo. I stopped bleaching my hair and I am letting it go gray. I actually like the color! I worked up from 1/8th tsp MSM to 1/2 tsp. I am now going to go to 1 tsp. Baby steps! I am amazed by Katherine's hair. She is so sweet to share her secrets, that I did buy her a cup of coffee. Well worth what she is teaching us!

Hey!! :) I've watched a couple of your hair care videos now, and am totally intrigued to try!! :) I have a couple questions about the clay powder you use for your hair though. I have my own pottery business, so I deal with clay every day. I just wondered, since your pour dry clay powder from the container into a cup, do you wear any kind of mask protection? Clay has silica dust in it which is horrendous for the lungs to breathe in. Also, when you wash your hair, do you use a plug in the shower or bath so the clay isn't going down your drain? It will absolutely wreck the piping over time. I empty my clay water outside all the time to prevent this. Thanks!!! :) I am definitely going to try washing my hair less, and try other ways to keep my hair clean and see if that will help its growth.

Interesting reading the comments, I always think there are so many gold nuggets of wisdom in comments and sometimes 'comedy gold' depending on the videos I watch! I am going to order some Rhassoul clay... I did look at your Amazon link but see it's USA and I'm in Canada, like you are. The Amazon Canada link to same thing was about $67 CAD! The USA link was much less but with s/h. So I found a Canadian natural store online and will get it there along with essential oils I need. I have extra thick hair (both parents had thick wavy type hair), and it's a coarse texture. I was due to wash hair today (once a week gal here), but instead I've oiled my hair with Castor oil, and I'm going to leave it until tomorrow to wash. Haven't got the Rhassoul yet so I guess I'll just use sulfate free shampoo to wash it out?? When I was a kid my mother braided mine in 2 "plaits" they were called in North of England. Each one was thick and down to my waist. She was a drinker and got into rages, and one day she was combing out my tangles, and I was crying as it hurt, and she took some scissors and cut off both my braids!! Cut while they were braided, hacked actually. Then she tried to even up the mess and it ended up to my ears! I was in shock I think, today that would be called assault. She sold my hair. I ended up at the hairdresser's to fix it, and looked like a little old lady when I came out! Ugh. I think I was about 10. My Dad died when I was 9, so I think I was 10, he would've killed her if he'd seen it. I am now 70 and during last 4 years I stopped going to hairdresser, my hair is down to bra strap at back. I have cut it myself here and there to trim, and cut some lengths, but now I see your videos I'm inspired to try to get my curly/wavy hair back! Been wearing it mainly up as I don't know what to do with it, and I have a mass of hair when down that grows side ways as well as down! Hagrid hair I call it from the giant in movie! I would love to watch some elegant and easy up-do's but maybe you have them, I did watch your one up do in the hour long video on hair care with the bun and front parts twisted to combine... which I love and will try. If I braid it, I have to bring it over my shoulder at some point to continue and then it goes haywire into a lumpy mess! Sorry for the length of this btw... the other thing I want to say is growing up in 50s and 60s in North England, we had no indoor bathroom. Only cold water, boiled to wash in the a.m. and we had a "wash down" in front of the fire (no central heating either), where we stood in a bowl of water, and washed downwards from top to bottom with a washcloth or sponge. Then once a week my mother would take me to the public baths where you could pay to have a "proper bath" with extra for bath salts, and I'd share a bath with my mother! Aaaah the good old days eh? We'd wash out our clothes by hand, wring them out good, and hang them in front of the fire to dry, steam coming off them! Then to check if they were completely dry later on you'd hold them up against a mirror, while warm, and if they left a damp condensation mark they were still damp. Love from Ontario! ♥ P.S. I'm an ACV big believer, so do I mix with water, pour over head in shower, wait and then rinse it out with water? I'm not sure whether you leave it in or what?

I only washed twice so far with clay and vinegar and I'm sold..I'm trying to convince my teenager to switch but she won't (YET)...also where can I find the link to books you recommend to read I cant find it anywhere or even link the sources where you read about historical haircare.
