OK, so I've been doing this 'no-poo' for a couple of days now and I can already see a vast improvement. My scalp doesn't itch as much, the scabs are healing beautifully and even the eczema on my fingers is clearing up. Yeah, my hair feels a little like straw, but I'm assured that's normal. Also, I've started my daughter on the baking soda mixture ( Read more... )

...with a question about hair care using baking soda. I've been using an apple cider vinegar rinse instead of conditioner for about a year now and love it. I'd like to start using baking soda instead of shampoo, but everything I've read about 'no 'poo' seems to indicate that people transition to only washing every few days instead of daily.

Hello, all. Just wanted to share a neem vs. dandruff story. The neem won. It's only been two days, but a dandruff problem a friend has had for his whole life has vanished! I encouraged him to go no-poo, and that helped a little. I encouraged him to use tea tree on his scalp, and that helped a little more. His dandruff never went away completely, ( Read more... )

Until now everytime I was going to a salon for hair removal on my legs, for years, since as long as I can remember I've always been getting comments about my skin being dry and that I need to moisturize it, that was an always recurring comment told to me by different people, and I was always answering that I don't understand why because I do ( Read more... )

I've been having trouble with my hair the past few years and I was wondering what you all would suggest. I used to use pantene ice shine but then something happened and it started making my hair look oily all the time so I switched to tresemme which I hate. I don't like the smell and want something more natural. I also seemed to develop dandruff ( Read more... )

So I shampoo and condition every day. I tend to only condition my ends as my hair gets ungodly amounts of oily if I add too much conditioner to it. By the next day my scalp is always oily, hence, shampooing every morning. I know a lot of you do the no 'poo and some of you do 'poo. I'm just wondering what would be a way to keep my hair healthy and ( Read more... )

OK, all you helpful people ( Read more... )

After reading the posts here, I ended up doing the water-only hairwashing thing, so far with surprisingly good success, although I haven't hit the magic transition that people seem to talk about. (My understanding is that this typically happens about 2 months into it, and I'm about halfway there ( Read more... )

I recently switched to washing my hair with baking soda and apple cider vinegar. My mother says she's noticed that my hair, which is naturally brown, is acquiring a definite red coloring to it. She seems to believe that the vinegar is responsible for this and that, if it's changing my hair color it must be stripping my hair ( Read more... )
