Have you tried "No Poo'?

Have you ever considered not shampooing your hair with hair products?

I know it sounds really crazy to not shampoo your hair with traditional products (shampoo and conditioner) but it really works.

I didn't want to post anything until I tried it myself but I have been "Poo" free for 2 months now and I can say going poo free might have been one of the best decision I have ever made in my life.

Let me preface this story with I have long hair. Really LONG hair, past my butt which I keep tied up in a sexy bun.

I've spent lots of money on shampoo and conditioner in my life. I use 1/3 a bottle of conditioner ever time I wash my hair just to get the knots out. But not any more.

Now I pour baking soda into a cup that I mix with water and create a slurry which I pour onto my roots. I scrub my hair as if I had shampoo in my hair...scrub, scrub, and rinse. It feels very weird but it works. My hair ends up squeaky clean.

Then I mix apple cider vinegar with water, pour it over my hair, comb through and rinse.

After my personal experiment I can say my hair has never felt so clean and soft in my life. And I'm not using any chemicals that are harming my body. My hair is healthier and more beautiful than ever.

Has anyone else gone poo free? Lets Hear your story....

Yay for no shampoo and long hair. This is such nice topic. I haven't used shampoo in many years hair is almost to my thighs now. You have me curious about the vinegar rinse would probably do me some good because I have well water thats pretty hard. I don't do baking soda but I just use conditioner. Cheapy one for the first that I "wash" with and then a thicker more expensive one for the last. Works like a charm and my family thinks I'm crazy lol. None of them have long hair to deal with though. I'm afraid the baking soda would dry my hair out like straw because my hair just soaks up the right conditioners.

Give the baking soda/vinegar a try. PLEASE Don't do castor oil.

When I was in my 20's I saw an old woman with the most beautiful white hair I had ever seen in my life. I asked her what her beauty secret was. She said she conditioned her hair with bacon grease. So I cooked up a pound of bacon, poured the grease in my hair, put a towel on my head and slept with the grease in my hair over night.

I tried to wash the bacon grease out the next day without much success. Not only was my hair a stringy mess for weeks after the bacon experiment, buy creepy guys kept asking me out on dates because all men love the smell of bacon..lol

Take it from a woman who has had long hair beautiful hair all of her life and has tried lots of crazy hair experiments, the baking soda/vinegar thing is amazing.

Give it a try...

Does it work on your cootch too? Can you douche with it?

I never use shampoo

I have not used antiperspirant nor deodorant in over 12 years. And I do not get that terrible stank in my pits. Sweat stink is a function of bad body chemistry. A good pH balance through proper nutrition and supplements will fix your body stank.

Troof!

Just try natural green soap made from olive oil. The best you can do to your hair and body.

Better yet, if you want amazing soft skin, keep a bottle of cold pressed virgin olive oil in your shower. After your have cleaned yourself and your pours are open, swab your body with olive oil. If it was good enough for Cleopatra it's good enough for me.

absolutely, i read about not using shampoo here on GLP a couple years ago and I've been shampoo free ever since. it's great. my hair is way better than it ever has been. at first I used hot water, now I use cold water in the summer, hot in the winter. I live without A/C well.
Just water is al you need but if ya got long hair, the baking soda and vinegar rinse makes sense.

Is this more cost effective? How much baking soda and apple cider vinegar do you need to use per wash?

No, I just took a poo a minute ago.....

is it a pain to detangle? or does the vinegar help with that? my hair gets really knotty too and I also have long hair.
