Two Weeks and No Shampoo

11:44, 2006-Dec-7 .. Posted in Natural Beauty .. 2 comments .. Link
Today marks 2 weeks of cleaning my hair without using shampoo.  Several weeks ago I started visiting welltellme.com and some of the women were doing this. So, I thought I would try it. 

Instead of using shampoo, I use baking soda and water.  At welltellme.com, they said to use 2 tablespoons of baking soda, but I have had to use about a third of a cup.  Mix the baking soda just enough to make a paste.

I scoop out some of the mixture and start massaging my scalp, just like I would do with shampoo.  

Rinse really good.  (After a good rinsing, my hair is "squeeky" clean.)

I do a final rinse (of the ends, not the scalp, unless you have dandruff)  with 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar mixed with some water.  The vinegar smell goes away in just a few minutes.

Homemade Shampoo

I started using only homemade shampoo November 23 and I love it. My hair is less oily now. For my shampoo, I use whipped egg whites, honey, and sometimes I use a little bit of beer. Your Shampoo sounds sort of like the homemade facial scrub my mom made for me. It is made out of a mixture of honey and baking soda and it works great. I enjoyed reading your post about your homemade shampoo.

I've done this before as well. Makes my hair feel really soft, and easy to comb through. I should get back to doing it again sometime. I've also used shampoo bars, and the vinegar as a rinse.
