"No Poo"

Well here it is, I haven't "shampood my hair in 10 days. Yes you heard me 10 days. I have on the other hand washed my hair. I am trying something new to help with my itchy scalp. I have to say so far it's going GREAT! My hair is soft, shiny and the best thing it's not itchy any more. I am choosing to do this because of the harsh chemicals in shampoo and how it strips your hair of the natural oils that cleanse it. Using shampoo of sets the natural balance of oils and causes your body to make more oil thus making it harder to go longer without shampooing your hair.There is also the inexpensive reason to do it. It just doesn't cost much!

Here is how I do it:
The wash is made up of baking soda and water. I take one cup of warm water to 1 tblsp baking soda. Mix it up till it dissolves. Then for the conditioner I use the vinegar. I like to use both white and apple cider. I do one cup of water and mix in 1tbsp of apple cider vinegar and 1 tbsp white.
If you prefer a smell add a few drops of essential oil, honey, or lemon juice to the vinegar mixture. Do not worry once your hair is rinsed and dryed you will not smell the vinegar.

When you get in the shower get your hair wet just like you would if you were showering. Then proceed with pouring the baking soda mixture in your hair. Rub it in real well and focus on rubbing the scalp, working it into the ends. Now it wont lather like shampoo but trust me your hair is getting clean. Leave the mixture on your hair for a bit while you wash something else. Come back and rinse it all out real well. After you've rinsed pour the vinegar on your hair and do the same. I like to leave it on a bit longer than the baking soda! After you've let it sit, rinse and your done.

I hope others try this out as I think it is very beneficial to your health. :) Happy hair cleaning.
