so i attempted the no poo movement. no poo doesn't mean i have stopped releasing my bowels, i have stopped using shampoo. i did it for about two weeks. the first time i used the baking soda paste and apple cider vinegar rinse felt awesome. my scalp was tingly and didn't smell like easter.
a few more uses and my hair got super gross. i don't think that baking soda and acv rinses are for people with super thick/wavy hair like mine. i started getting really bad flaky scalp. i did what any reasonable person does and googled the cause. i decided a natural thing to do would be to rub some coconut oil on my scalp and all that did was make me break out all over my face when i had just gotten to a super awesome point with my skin.
all in all it wasn't for me (or chris, he hated it). i went to my stylist and got my hurr did. the shampoo felt awesome. my hair doesn't feel like like straw anymore either so that's super nice. we are still using castile soap for a lot of other things but the baking soda is outta here.
in case you are wondering what did here you go:
2 tablespoons of baking soda
water
(optional a few drops of TTO)
mix enough water with the baking soda to make a paste and scrub your scalp with it. let it sit for a few minutes and rinse THOROUGHLY
equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water...dump on your head and leave for a few mins then rinse.
you can add oils or what not to make it smell better but i really didn't mind the "smell"
