dull hair is now shiny hair

First time no 'poo

I'd been thinking about doing this for a while, but to be honest I'd seen some comments that scared me. "Detox period" didn't bode well, and whenever I see that on any kind of alternative hygiene, I sideeye it and wonder if it was bad but the person just got used to it, or put so much into it they couldn't admit it wasn't working well. I also saw ( Read more... )

Tea Rinse Tips

While I loved how easily my hair detangled and the way the coppery red coloring in my hair was being brought out when I was using ACV, I recently quit using ACV to try using tea rinses. The reason for this was because my hair had become incredibly waxy and nothing was fixing it. I've used tea twice now. The first time I used three tea bags of ( Read more... )

I'm quite new to no 'poo, but so far I'm impressed. My hair has far more shine than it ever did with shampoo, has less breakage and nearly non-existant frizz. Split ends, while still present, look much better. A big improvement already! I can go about three to four days between washes so far without it looking greasy. I was using a sulfate- ( Read more... )

Shine is gone?! :(

Hi guys! I've been doing no-poo for about 1.5 months. I have thick, medium-length, Asian hair. It used to be super shiny while I was using conventional drugstore shampoos & conditioners with sulfates, but ever since I've been doing no-poo, my hair has been pretty dull. It's soft and I need to wash much less, but the shine is drastically reduced ( Read more... )

I've only been using no-poo for about a week now, and I can tell that my hair is becoming healthier already. It's not at its ideal stage yet, but it seems like it's already starting to heal from the years of damage that I've assaulted it with by using permanent hair dye. For those who have been kind to their hair and never done this, What ( Read more... )

I am not new here but I think this is my first time posting. So hi! I have been a fan of Dr. Bronner's for ever but they do not sell their products really anywhere in my province. I always knew about their products from buying them in the US so I shopped online to get some of their regular castile soap for other purposes. I actually noticed they ( Read more... )

Posted here with my first no 'poo.

Skipped a day and today was round two. As before, I've got nothing but good things to say about it!

Just as I predicted, the hives and itching after no 'poo-ing were significantly less than the first time. Yay!! This confirms for me that the problem definitely lies with whatever toxic commercial residues are being ( Read more... )

No shampoo (week 7)

mistress_elaine wrote in no_poo Jul 26, 2007 13:57

At the end of last week, I found myself complaining about the way my hair looked after water-only washes. It looked fine after bicarbonate rinses, but far less so after water-only washes. Well, guess what? All that changed in Week 7, during which I finally seemed to put my horrific adjustment phase behind me. With the exception of an ill-advised ( Read more... )
