Poo-Free

I finally did it!  I went shampoo free a little over a month ago.  I went pretty basic to start with, baking soda and water.  I’ve been surprised with the results, good surprised.  Yet, I’m still trying to find the right combo for my thick hair.  It probably doesn’t help that I started during my pregnancy when my hormones are constantly changing. 

Rose seems to have it figured out.  The littles don’t seem to mind either way but they do miss the foaming suds.

I’ve been playing around a bit with castile soap in our hair solution mix.  If anything, it’s been great for our skin.

I hope to try a new hair solution this month.  Feel free to chime in with your advice for long super thick hair.

    When I was no-poo (with long thick hair) I used apple cider vinegar (diluted) and water. Baking soda for the roots every couple of weeks or when it became greasy. <br /><br />It took about 2 months for my hair to get used to everything. Right now I&#39;m back to shampoo (only because I found a couple bottles when we moved). That and all the pregnancy/losses/pregnancy hormonal craze was just too

    Interesting! I&#39;m interested on how this would work on colored hair? Thanks for the idea.

    Wow, this is great! I am trying to get into more natural personal care and my next project was getting rid of shampoo. I love this idea because it is inexpensive. I recently got rid of my face wash and switched to the oil cleanse and am starting to love that, although it took several weeks and tweaks for my face to adjust well.
