I've heard that some people even give up shampoo completely, just rinsing

Good to know. It makes sense that the scalp compensates. I used to live in=

are amazing aren't they?
Dh was not
enthusiastic when I told him about this (the no shampoo idea), saying
"please wait until after we visit my parents at Easter"
LOL!
