I've been 'no-poo' for over two years: I mostly used clay as a cleanser (the cheapest and most convenient and fastest way), and sometimes wheat-rye bread mixture. This is briefly. Story and questions.

• No-poo since May 2011
• Normal hair, fine but a lot of it, 2" past brastrap (and since I'm 6'1" that's a lot of hair), straight, dark brunette
• Love no-poo for my scalp dermatitis and for volume.

I've started exercising about 5 days a week, Bikram yoga which means a lot of sweat. Now my hair is overproducing oils probably from overwashing, I'm ( Read more... )

I started no poo about 8 weeks ago. I loved it. But then I realized my hair was getting dry (starting from 3-4 inches from the roots) I tried just washing my roots with BS but then the rest would be clumpy and waxy, so I couldn't do that. I started this because I have really long hair down to my waist and I was getting (unwanted) dreadlocks at ( Read more... )

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... )

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... )

In summary, I have been no-poo for 8 weeks now. I wash using BS/ACV every 3 days. I believe my hair is a type 2a, and by this point is pretty well adjusted. Anywho, during the school year I participate in athletics which require early morning practices Mon-Fri. After practice I shower at the gym, and because I don't want to go to class with wet ( Read more... )
