This all started while I was reading my blogs at work and GOOD had a challenge for the month of January to go without using soap (except for like before you prepare food and after you go to the bathroom) for the month of January. The post I read was an update from someone who had been doing the challenge for 2 weeks and he said everything was going well. So I looked in to it a little further on the internet and thought I would try it. I also found an alternative to shampoo, using baking soda, and then apple cider vinegar as conditioner.
Things are awesome. I shower daily, with just water, so I don't smell, and once a week I'm washing my hair with baking soda and vinegar. I'm hoping that as time goes by I'll have to wash it less and less. The key I think, is to wean yourself off shampoo instead of just going cold turkey. Switch to the baking soda and vinegar method and just wash your hair less and less. Everyone always complains that their hair is too oily, but it's only too oily because you shampoo it so frequently. So stop washing it so often and things will be great. I feel like my hair is softer now than it ever was when I used shampoo, plus, I shower so much faster now, and spend less money on both products and water.
I'll try to get some pictures up later of my hair and how it's looking, but so far, I am really pleased.
Ooo this is interesting? Wait so you mix the baking soda with water to make a paste? or how do you do that? and the apple cider vinegar do you just pour it in your hair? I would totally try this!
ReplyDeleteI have two cups, in 1 I put 1Tbsp baking soda and dilute it with water and the other I put 1Tbsp vinegar and dilute it with water. I then carefully pour each on my head, working it in well. You can definitely tell the baking soda is working cause your hair feels different.
