Does anybody here "no poo" (no shampoo)?

I came across the no shampoo idea months ago and tried it. Instead of using shampoo and conditioner, you use baking soda and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice mixed with water to clean your hair. There are many variations. A conditioner only rinse. Water only. Etc.

I had minor success with this, but my problem was the hard water in our area. The baking soda wouldn't dissolve and my hair got more oily after three weeks and I couldn't find a solution to that problem. Until now. I never thought of boiling the water and then adding the baking soda, but many say it solves this problem. So, I am going to make another attempt.

Has anyone else or does anyone else use this method or a variation of it? It appealed to me because of the chemicals in shampoos and conditioners, and I knew it could save money if it worked. I would love to hear from anyone who has experience with this.

1. A good friend of mine does

She loves it. Her hair looks great!

She tried it because of shampoos giving her allergic reactions.

We have hard water here, but i have yet to hear her complain about it in relation to the 'no poo' solution.

5. Maybe I just haven't found the right mix of the two.

That gives me hope, thanks!

2. I have tried the cider vinegar only method with so-so results.

I use apple cider vinegar and baking soda to keep my sink drains clean and it really bubbles up a lot.

Do you pre-mix the baking soda and water and then add then vinegar just before shampooing?

4. Vinegar is separate.

You "shampoo" with The baking soda and water mixture. You follow with "conditioning" which is vinegar and water. If your scalp greases easy, don't do vinegar on your whole head. I use it only on the ends and rinse it well. I do it only to condition my hair even though I could do something else to condition the ends I suppose.

Honestly, my hair is normally very tangled and when I wash with baking soda, the comb actually glides through.

6. OK, well that explains why the vinegar alone was leaving my hair silky but my scalp oily. (I am cursed with thin, fine and oily locks  )

Can you pre-mix a batch of the baking soda/hot water (we have hard water too) or do you make it just before showering?

3. I still use it once every 3 weeks or so.

since I smoke and use a conditioner. I do a weak-strength wash, and avoid the scalp.

I haven't tried vinegar yet, hadn't even thought of it. thanks

franksolich just grabs the bar of soap--usually it's some sort of "Castile" soap--and uses that.

Never a problem, and still a head of full luxuriant hair.

That's *after* they munch down a fist full of prescription drugs..

Dumbasses would never use such harsh chemicals as Acetic Acid or Sodium Bicarbonate - but have no problems using Vinegar and Baking soda.

Two observations:

1.  Going bald does have its' advantages.  All I have to do is run a bar of soap across my scalp and I'm done.

2.  "No poo?"  Maybe that's why they're full of shit all the time.

You know, sir, that is one of the most obvious hypocrisies of the primitives, but they don't get it.
