The speaker in the video starts by acknowledging the stressful and anxiety-filled times we are currently living in, and encourages everyone to stay safe, wash their hands, and look after themselves and their loved ones. She then shares her experience with the "no poo" movement, a trend that encourages people to stop using shampoo, conditioner, or any other hair products.
She explains that the movement's proponents believe that hair naturally produces oil called sebum, which is released by the sebaceous glands in response to shampoo use. They argue that overuse of shampoo can strip hair of its natural oils, leading to a trap where more shampoo use leads to more oil production. The movement suggests that by giving up shampoo, hair would return to its natural state, becoming stronger, healthier, and often curlier.
The speaker decides to join the movement and sets a challenge for herself to not use any hair products for a month. She documents her experience, sharing her struggles with greasy hair, itchiness, and dandruff. She also discusses the difficulties of rinsing her hair, as it leads to matted strands and doesn't dry out well.
By the end of the month, she concludes that the hair transformation she was hoping for didn't occur. She suggests that the time frame of a month might not be long enough for the hair to return to its natural state, and encourages viewers to try the experiment for a longer period if they're interested. She ends the video by wishing everyone to stay safe and look after themselves.
