Ok. I'll start out by saying that I've finally joined this community! I found it at the end of August, and now have been no 'poo for 6 months. And I love it. I love that I am no longer dependent on one more thing, one bit more independent of mainstream junk ( Read more... )

 I have been a no pooer for about a year (with about two months where i fell off the wagon about two months back). I started out with baking soda mixed with water followed by ACV. That worked for a while with me until I picked up Tea Tree shampoo for an irritated scalp and had to re start my routine of no poo. I decided to add in some conditioner  ( Read more... )

My hair is thin, long and usually fairly oily. I've been no-poo for about five weeks now, and my hair is starting to get sticky. It looks greasy, but my scalp is normal. My hair is just sticking together like I haven't washed it in days, even right after I wash it. I live in Southern California where the water is extremely hard, could this be the ( Read more... )

Hi all, I'm on the 3rd week of no-poo. My history of hair care has been very low maintenance. I would wash every other day with a natural type (but SLS containing) tea tree shampoo then condition. towel off hair, style with fingers, forget about it. On alternate days I showered in hot water but not shampooing or taking special care about hair. I do ( Read more... )

hello everyone! I've been watching for a few months now and have been using bs and acv since November. I've used 1 teaspoon bs in 2 cups water and a little less then 1 tablespoon of acv in 2 cups water every 2-3 days. I've experimented with water only which makes it look even greasier and just bs but then i have what looks like dandruff, so I've ( Read more... )

now in my 3rd week of BS washes and ACV rinses, and my hair is so greasy and sticky that i'm tempted to give up no 'poo altogether. changes made since my last post: i haven't blow-dried my hair in a week, thinking that was the problem, but really it made no difference. tried some water-only days too and that just made it worse. switched to a ( Read more... )
