Hi.

I recently went vegetarian, and, earlier, I was reading about lanolin in conditioner, which sounded gross.  And I keep seeing people on natural_living, and one person on my friend's list earlier talking about going no-poo.  So, I've spent the last hour or so googling it, and reading various articles, and it seems like something I want to do.

I'm half Indian, ( Read more... )

I just thought i'd post this info for people interested, especially the vegans, vegetarians and animal friendly people here.
One of the biggest things that attracted me to the no poo method was that i could totally avoid products with palm oil for my hair.
Palm oil production is a major cause of habitat destruction for orang-utans and other animals, ( Read more... )

Hi All,

Can somebody recommend where i can get a boar bristle brush. I mostly use a wodden comb but a boar bristle would be better for oil distribution.

I'm in Ireland as well so if you can recommend soem place onlie that does international shipping or possibly someplace here that would do them. i've looked but not rally found much.

Thanks

Please comment with your favorite online sources for organic virgin coconut oil (but available in like 10-30 oz quantities, not gallons at a time) and  Shikakai powder - i live in USA so sites that ship to USA would be useful. and talk about your experience with ordering from said sites, if you wish. Thanks!

As I mentioned in a comment in another post, I've recently switched from being CO to doing an ACV rinse before applying conditioner. I find that this increases the time I can go between washes and reduces the number of pimples I get on my scalp, probably due to the acid rebalancing my scalp pH. And doing the conditioner AFTER the ACV means my scalp ( Read more... )

I've been doing the no 'poo thing for three months and thought I'd post my results.

Do you think it matters if I use that squeezable lemon juice from the produce section instead of fresh juice from an actual fruit? You know what I'm talking about - the little squeezy lemon container?

I just got out of the shower. I am planning on coloring my hair with henna tonight so I need to have clean hair. Isn't it funny how if you are using regular hair color, you aren't supposed to wash your hair for a day or two because of how badly the stuff strips your hair of moisture? But with henna, it conditions your hair and doesn't destroy it. I ( Read more... )
