This shift to natural hair care involves an adjustment period as the scalp rebalances its sebum production. However, feedback reveals a range of positive outcomes, making the transition worthwhile.

"Poolessness" aligns with permaculture's principles of minimizing chemical usage and embracing natural processes, empowering individuals to take control of their health and reduce their environmental impact.
