This challenge was presented to the blogger world close to two years ago, but it's back again this Spring because so many people loved the results!
We aren't asking you to stop washing your hair, by the way. We're asking you to try washing it with more unconventional, but all natural, chemical free items - items you've probably got in your kitchen right now!
Shampoo and conditioner are loaded with "extras" - things that don't need to be there for us to get clean tresses. Some of them are even harmful to our hair (and our health) instead of helpful like they promise. So join us on our No-Poo Challenge! We've got 2 weeks to better, ready for Spring hair!
What you'll need:
Baking Soda
Apple Cider Vinegar
Water
2 containers or squirt bottles for mixing your new hair products
Coconut Oil
For the shampoo: Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda to one cup of water. Wet your hair, and squirt your new poo in! Start at the scalp and really get in there to break down build up and work your way to the ends. Now don't be alarmed when it doesn't lather - it's not supposed to! Your regular shampoo has added ingredients that make it bubble up. But who need bubbles?? Then grab your squirt bottle of apple cider vinegar and water. You'll need equal parts vinegar and water for the rinse. Squirt it on and rinse all of the baking soda mixture out. Keep rinsing until you feel the grittiness of the baking soda is gone. If you feel your hair is too gritty when you're done, try adding less baking soda to the shampoo mixture or more apple cider vinegar to your rinse.
After towel drying your hair, add a small amount of pure coconut oil to your hair for an all natural leave in conditioner. An all natural conditioner that smells amazing by the way! Style your hair as you always do - and relish in your beautiful new locks!
A word of warning though: You might go through a period of a few days to a week when your hair looks dull or feels heavy and/or greasy. It's okay! If you can live with it, we highly recommend sticking it out. It's your new shampoo breaking down the old left over chemicals - it's doing it's job!
The last major perk of going poo-less? You are going to save a TON of money on shampoo and conditioner! Good luck out there - and let us know how you like the results.

I haven't washed my hair with commercial cleaner since march 12th. It wasn't something I planned to do, it just happened and now that it's been almost 3 weeks, I'm going to keep it up. I just ordered a bar of pine tar soap from a friend that makes it and excited to try washing my hair with it. I used to use some pine tar years ago and liked how it worked.
ReplyDeleteI have been no poo since September 2011. It took about 2 months to really see the change and the results. I do not use as much bs as you do. I only use 1/2 teaspoon in 5 ounces of water. For the vinegar I use 1 teaspoon in about 5 ounces of water...but that mix lasts me at least 3 uses. It took me a few tries to get the mix right for my type of hair. I will NEVER go back to shampoo and conditioner. It is very hard to talk people into doing it and even harder to get them to stick with it. I love no poo ! My hair is in the best shape its ever been. It fun now to walk through the shampoo aisle at the store, look at the prices and have a good laugh !
ReplyDeleteWhat i don't realize is in truth how you're no longer actually a lot more smartly-preferred than

Sure, but the fear of having a dead list is by
