First time no 'poo

Nov 09, 2012 12:04

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... )

I make a paste of BS as well, but I use about 1-2 tablespoons and put it in a cup and bring that into the shower with me. I also bring in a small bottle of ACV into the shower with me and when the cup of BS paste is empty, I rinse out the cup and fill it with some ACV, filling the rest of the cup with water. You really don't need that much ACV for it to be effective ( ... )

Yeah, I really think the ACV would be better diluted.

I have some coconut oil, and considered using it on my hair, but I heard that it just seals the hair and prevents it from losing moisture, as opposed to actually moisturizing it? I do use it for cooking and occasionally on my skin, though. The cocoa butter/jojoba mix was also nice on my hands.

Ah, I hadn't heard that about the coconut oil. Good to know! :-)

Hi! mind if I ask how you make that lipbalm with coconut oil? I stuggle alot with dry lips! And since I just bought the coconut oil to use on my hair, I might as well use it elsewhere :) many thanks
