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... )

Shine is gone?! :(

Hi guys! I've been doing no-poo for about 1.5 months. I have thick, medium-length, Asian hair. It used to be super shiny while I was using conventional drugstore shampoos & conditioners with sulfates, but ever since I've been doing no-poo, my hair has been pretty dull. It's soft and I need to wash much less, but the shine is drastically reduced ( Read more... )

Accidental No Poo

But I think I finally found something that works for me. I've been doing it for a couple months and so far so good. I thought I would post my routine here in case ( Read more... )

FYI--When I was little, my hair was brown, down to my waist, and banana curls all the way down. Through life, my hair has naturally become what I call dirty strawberry blonde (mainly blonde, not bleach blonde, though, with hints of red), and is down to my bra strap and wavy/slightly curly. About 7 years ago, I permed my hair, but no other chemical ( Read more... )

Hard water + sugar scrub + lemon juice + a bit of cheating

I've decided to post because I usually end up gabbling at people in the comments, using! lots! of! exclamation points!! and leaving out some/most/all the important information I wanted to include in the first place. So I thought it would be easier if I just had a tl;dr carefully written post that I could link people to. Bear in mind that my " ( Read more... )
