Head starts to hurt
This is a common gripe that pops up after many suds-free days, and there are several theories as to what is going on.
The build-up of yeast and bacteria could cause enough inflammation to lead to some tenderness, also When you go awhile without washing, you are not massaging and cleansing, which is what helps keep the hair follicles free of debris and not clogged.
Hair gets Tingly
If you have too much product in your hair or too much oil, then your scalp will absolutely tingle.
Hair gets Chunkier
If your hair is thick or coarse and you go a very long time without washing, the dirt and scalp grease can start to bunch together over time, leading to a texture.
Fine hair, on the other hand, will get flatter the further out from your last shampoo you get, as the oils will weigh down thin strands. A bit of dry shampoo might help, though too many days of that can lead to other complications.
Brushing could get more difficult
This one happens when you have build up of dry shampoo the non washers goto when hair is in need of sprucing up. As the layers accumulate, the particles mix with your scalp oils and debris and can start getting sticky; that lack of slip makes it harder to work a brush through your locks.
Possibility of Acquiring Dandruff
Another common thing that pops up in not shampooing the hair is the sudden appearance of flakes. Washing your hair helps to decrease the yeast that is naturally and normally found on your scalp, so when you stop, more of it is likely to build up and increase the occurrence of dandruff.
