Consider the case of TikToker Kilah Reigan, who opted to refrain from washing her hair for 100 days. Throughout these days, she regularly posted videos on TikTok showcasing her current hair condition and the different styles she sported.
She avoided washing her hair for 100 days, then caved in after 101
The TikToker documented daily how she styled her unwashed hair. Her videos went viral and garnered massive viewership over time: the content accumulated several million views, hundreds of thousands of likes, and thousands of comments.
Reigan initially aimed to reach 200 days without washing her hair, but she ended the challenge after 101 days. However, her hair-care routine upon finally washing her hair sparked notable controversy. She washed her hair and applied a hair mask. While this would typically be unremarkable, she deviated from the norm by using dish soap as her shampoo.
Given this drastic choice, it might have been better for her hair and skin if she had continued to abstain from washing her hair altogether.
