~4.5 months in, still trying to refine routine to fix dandruff/dry ends

Hi all,

Apologies in advance for this very-long winded post!

So I went cold-turkey from using Aveda shampoos to BS/ACV washes just about 4.5 months ago. I have shoulder length, brown, fine, and wavy hair - this is the longest my hair has ever been. Initially I decided to try no-poo because as long as I can remember my hair has been very greasy. If I ( Read more... )

Dr. Bronner's vs. Baking Soda

reburkel wrote in no_poo Feb 16, 2012 15:35

Hello Everyone!

What are the differences between using Dr. Bronner's and Baking Soda (with ACV)? Specifically, is one more likely to dry out hair than the other? And does Dr. Bronner's still help with dandruff?

I started using the BS/ACV routine six weeks ago. I wash my hair once a week with a solution of 1tsp. BS in 8oz. of water, squirting it just ( Read more... )

Tea Rinse Tips

mysticrayne13 wrote in no_poo Nov 06, 2011 16:17

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... )

Help with coconut oil

harvestl wrote in no_poo Nov 12, 2009 19:05

Hi! I've been doing no-poo for probably about six months or so, and it's going ok. I have average hair, not thick and not thin, shoulder length, and I use about 2 teaspoons BS for a wash every four days and black tea for a rinse. My hair has been getting dry though. I tried using a little bit of grapeseed oil after a wash once, but it just felt ( Read more... )

Boar bristle brush...

jennyjenny84 wrote in no_poo Jan 26, 2008 10:21

I was so excited to get my new boar bristle brush in the mail yesterday. Long before I heard of no-poo (I have been poo-free for a week), I had read about the benefits of a boar bristle brush. Sadly, as soon as that sucker touched my hair, it was a big static-y mess. I'm so disappointed! Will the static get better with time, or should I just ( Read more... )
