So it's been 2 months since i've used shampoo. I tried w/o for 2 weeks, and i have hard water so it wasn't working. So I started using bs with distilled water and a citrus rinse. This was working ok, the bs never really felt slippery though, I'm not sure if it was something I was doing wrong but it didn't clean it well, it was still greasy/ sebum-y ( Read more... )

Water only with hard water

I have very hard water. I use distilled water with bs and it works alright, I follow with a citrus rinse. I have heard that it's practically impossible to go water only with hard water but I was wondering if I could go water only and just follow with a citus rinse. This seems to keep my hair from getting waxy like it did when I tried water only. ( Read more... )

I have very hard water which has makes not using shampoo much more frustrating. As far as I can tell a lot of people posting about waxy or dusty hair might have the same problem, my hair would feel so gross right after just running it under water.

Poll No `Poo For Pets?
Hi everyone! I'm new to "no `poo." Yesterday both my husband and I washed our hair for the first time with baking soda and lime juice washes, respectively, and we are both very happy with the results! I was horrified to hear about what was actually in our shampoo (even our Aveda!) and what it does. I'm a dog and cat owner, and a big animal ( Read more... )

I was just diagnosed with severe allergies to DMDM Hydantoin - an antimicrobial formaldehyde releaser reservative used in shampoos, hair conditioners, hair gels and skin care products. (I'm also allergic to a lot of botanicals found in natural products such asTree Tea, Eucalyptus, Jasmine, etc.

Lime Juice and Photosensitivity

naturescure wrote in no_poo May 10, 2008 23:28

I've replaced the traditional ACV rinse with lime juice mixed with chamomile tea. As its getting hotter (28 degrees in May, woohoo that's unusual for the UK!) and sunnier, I'm worried about lime juice reacting with UV rays and causing skin problems. I don't want to go back to vinegar, but I don't know what else I can use.
