The no-poo (no shampoo) movement is very real and definitely works for many people (dependant on hair type and oil secretions). Basically, once you stop washing away your natural oils daily, the production normalizes and then a regular rinse with water and occasionally something like diluted soap, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
I’ve met them, I was one, I know them. You wouldn’t know unless they told you.
well it’s either wet, which means you should shower, because otherwise that shits going to be really annoying, or it’s dry, and it’s probably not a big deal anymore. Once you shower that shit is getting cleaned off properly anyway.
Just so we’re clear here, sweat is supposed to provide life to bacteria, that’s why it stinks.

i.e. some sort of (proven) cleaning agent
By occasionally, they mean once a month at most.
Hair only stinks if you get crap in it.
Okay, but it’s important for everyone elseto know that they aren’t going years without using a cleaning agent like wild animals.
You ever smell an animal’s fur? It’s not great.
If you are brushing them often, feeding them good food, and not letting your dog roll in everything, they smell a lot better.
That being said, animals in general do have stronger smelling oils than humans - often for some evolutionarily advantageous reasons.
On the other hand, dogs don’t sweat.
And sweat rinses off quite easily.
What about sweat that’s been in your hair for 12+ hours? Growing things.
If your sweat is growing things in 12 hours, you need a doctor or an exorcist.
Remember, many indigenous people across the world used steam to bath, as the steam and new sweat rinsed off the old sweat quite effectively.

My cats smell just fine. The dog on the other hand…
True, but you aren’t a cat. You’re an ape.
How do you think an ape smells?
The only people saying you should use shampoo daily are the shampoo makers. Most people can get away with once a week.
