Just about to finish my third week of my first try at no-poo and I feel like giving up. I had beautiful, shiny, soft, manageable hair before and now it's been reduced to a waxy, frizzy, dried-out mess. It feels like someone scorched the bottom half of my hair with a lit candle, then rubbed most of the rest of my head with the remaining candle wax. ( Read more... )

Hello all! I have been testing the "no poo" waters for a couple weeks now. Today I found a pretty headscarf and a boar bristle brush and I'm ready to take the plunge! I'd just like to get some feedback before I begin my "adventure ( Read more... )

I'm still fairy new to no 'poo, I just got started on Sept. 19th, 2011. It had been working very nicely but I've noticed that my hair now is kind of waxy in texture at the crown. This isn't completely new since it'd went waxy before while it was wet but it would lose that strange texture after it was dry. It isn't going away now. I ( 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... )

Hi all! Never posted here before but I've been reading for advice throughout my no 'poo experiment, and I thought I'd share something lovely I just found. It's not exactly using nothing, but I figured this would be fair game since using Dr. Bronner's soap etc. has been discussed ( Read more... )

Help! No poo, not working

Hi, I have been having a lot of trouble with no poo and I really would like some advice and help.

I have been no poo-ing for 6 months. It first started out okay, but now it is getting worse and worse.
I wash my hair with baking soda and water in a 1:4 ratio, and I rinse it off with white vinegar and water in a 1:4 ratio, with four drops of lavender ( Read more... )
