For the last couple weeks I have been reading blogs about people who have gone shampoo free. At first I thought it was totally crazy. I mean really how in the world can baking soda and vinegar give you the same results that shampoo and conditioner do. But the benefits of going 'poo free really sucked me in. Some of the benefits are not using harsh detergents or chemicals on your hair; also in the long run it will save you money. So, I decided to give it a whirl. Here is how.....
First take a tablespoon of baking soda and mix it with water until it forms a thin paste.
- In the shower massage the mixture into soaking wet hair.
- Keep the mixture mostly on your scalp.
- Let it sit for a couple minutes the rinse in warm water
Then take vinegar (white or apple cider) and mix 2 parts water with 1 part vinegar.
- You can add a few drops of lavender or your favorite essential oil to the mixture.
- In the shower pour this over your hair starting at the scalp. If you have very thick hair you may need to do the bottom half of your hair, then the top.
- Let the rinse sit on your hair for a couple minutes the rinse out with cool water.
I have only done this routine one time but the instant results I saw where that my hair was very shiny, more voluminous and very manageable. I usually spend all day fighting with my bangs but today they were very obedient. I am going to go 'poo free for a 2 week trial period and see how it goes. If you give it a try let me know what your results are.
