These are my results after one week:

Roots/Scalp |
I have read that people use apple cider vinegar on the rest of their hair (not the scalp – it can make it too greasy) as a conditioner, but I haven’t had the need for apple cider vinegar at all.
Previously, I would wash my hair 5-6 times a week. With the No ‘Poo method, I have been washing my hair every other day with the baking soda mixture in hopes that I will never have to experience the greasy hair or itchy scalp. Once I get through the “transition period” of 3-4 weeks, I may wash my hair only twice a week, but that is only if this method continues to work as well as it is right now.
I really cannot tell the difference in my hair using this method versus shampoo. I don’t feel dirty and my scalp does not itch at all (whereas it does after 2 days using shampoo). Here’s hoping that the results remain the same into week 2!
Just as an experiment this week, I am going to try using peroxide and/or lemon juice to see if I can highlight my roots without having to dye it. I will definitely post my findings!
Have you ever gone No ‘Poo? If so, what was your experience?
If you have never gone No ‘Poo, will you consider it in the future?
Glad to hear this is going well for you! I tried for several weeks last year & my hair was an icky mess! :)
ReplyDeleteI tried this last spring and didn't have good results. I did find that my hair looks best if I "wash" daily with just water and only shampoo once a week. I cut out conditioner altogether.
ReplyDeleteGreat post much appreciate the time you took to write this.
