Good luck with this.
All I can suggest is that you'll probably fare better if you ensure you're using a shampoo that is not stripping or harsh. The less you strip you hair down, the less conditioning (or repairing treatments) should be needed. In other words treat your hair like fine washables

Yea , that's why I'm using the products I'm using .. I tried the shea moisture deep cleaning shampoo after I removed a 4 month protective style and was surprised to find that it was actually very moisturizing ..

Good luck.... I've never owned products up until now.... Just a shampoo and conditioner, I didn't even use gel. My hair grew to Hip Length using no products. Just shampooing once a month. I used conditioner once a week or two weeks and my hair was always up in a curly flip up..... My friend decided she wanted to straighten it one day, and it was at my hips... Actually a bit past my hips... I didn't care for my hair back then though and it was damaged at the ends so I chopped it off..... Probably didn't need to chop it off, but, I wasn't all into my hair back then lol.

Wow See you're just another example that it doesn't take much to care for our hair .. But at the same time we have to be gentle to it ... I'm very interested to see how my hair grows , feel and looks once I'm done with this

I've gotten down to only using a shampoo bar and coconut oil but I'm not sure I would risk leaving my hair completely bare with nothing in it at all. I use the coconut oil as a leave in after I rinse the shampoo bar from my hair. I'll be following this thread closely to see her results.

It really doesn't take much, but, my hair was dry back then and had color damage at the ends. I chopped it neck length and decided I wanted long and healthy because I also learned that you can have long unhealthy hair. And thats when my whole "wanting long healthy hair" craze started lol. Now its soooo healthy, I'm just waiting for the length to come back lol!! I'll be following this thread, I'd love to see results.

My goal is to use nothing but the mention items to wash but if I notice anything negative going on with my hair of course I will deal with it as needed Stay tuned

Yeah I normally don't use or do to much to my hair anyway so this shouldn't be such a shock to my hair ... I'll post results when I finally remove crochets

We had a "naked hair" challenge here many years ago... I was surprised that my hair didn't look as crazy as I had believed it would

My hair looks just how I want it to when it's clean, damp and product free. Soft, shiny, heat damaged waves and curls But once it dries it becomes a cloud of tragic, formless, nothingnesss 
But I love the soft effect i get from naked hair. Gel which I need to clump my hair just ruins that whole effect. Sadly i can't capture my naked damp hair without using a product which of course ruins the soft nakedness lol.

Well atleast you didn't tell me your hair fell out in chunks ... I'm going to make sure I thoroughly deep condition for atleast 15 - 30 minutes at each wash because I won't even being using the castor oil

I know what happens when I don't use any product, my hair shrinks up and feels hard which could lead to breakage if you handle the hair.
Good thing I won't be manipulating my hair since it's up in a protective style ... Normally when i wash my hair shrinks up but as long as I use moisturizing shampoo and conditioners it doesn't get that dry . ( unless I use a clarifying shampoo) Because my hair shrinks so much i started years ago twisting my hair in big twist when washing to lesson my dentangling struggle

I remember someone on this board did a variation of this years ago (I forgot who). She actually washed daily with a moisturizing shampoo and used a rinse out conditioner and no leave-ins. If I remember correctly it was working well for her hair for a while.
I'll be interested to see how it works for you.

Since I won't be doing anything too it other than washing it every few weeks I won't update often .. However I will keep you ladies updated and post an update video atleast 1 time a month or whenever I wash .... I'm thinking I may keep this longterm style up until Aug But haven't decided for sure as of yet .

I pretty much only use the conditioner I cowash with to define my curls. Works fine for me...
I'm in braids right now and my scalp is exposed more than it ever has been so I will be using a spray leave in and some oil so it doesn't get too dry as I am spraying sun screen on my head when i am outside.

I wear yarn braids and wash and condition my hair 3-4 times a week. That's it.
When I take my braids down my hair is nice and shiny. I use dr bronners and Aussie moist.

Not at all. I wear it in a shoulder length bob
The yarn braids don't feel heavy to you?

I find a lot of people actually have good results from doing this .. And others say that wouldn't be able to use only shampoo and conditioner with nothing in between... Of course everyone's hair reacts different .. My hair doesn't really need a lot .
