'No poo' hair washing? Anyone tried?

Question

I've read about people using baking soda for shampoo and apple cider vinegar as conditioner... Anyone else tried this? Curious about the results. I hate using the store bought shampoos and conditioners with all of their chemicals, my hair only feels soft after an oil treatment 😔😕

Answer

Idk but that is twice in one day I've heard of this and never heard about it before! My cousin posted a pic and was talking about how she started this :)

Answer

I used to use baking soda and apple cider vinegar. I loved it so much! I only washed my hair twice a month, and it felt amazing. Keep in mind though, that because you've used regular shampoo and conditioner, your hair will have to go through a phase a greasy, messy, yuckiness. Your hair might feel dry if you don't use enough ACV and too slick if you use too much. ACV doesn't smell great in the shower, but once you rinse it you can't smell it. Your hair might also go through a falling out period, but that didn't last, and it was only for a few weeks. I did this routine for two years, and the only reason I stopped was because I started working in a hair salon and was asked if I would use the products we sell. I say go for it, as long as you don't mind using dry shampoo!

Answer

I tried to do this and my hair ended up looking greasy and felt gross. I tried a few different methods but I couldn't stand it.

Answer

Baking soda ruins your hair. Don't try it. I found out the hard way. I do "water wash" for several weeks in between shampoo washing though.

Answer

I did a vinegar rinse after putting manic panic in my hair, and oh my gosh my hair was baby soft!! Not sure about the baking soda, but can vouch for the vinegar!

Answer

I do. I have lots of thick curly hair and it has helped make my hair much more defined.  my hubby loves it! I also can go more days without washing my hair without it looking greasy, sorry but...im a mom. It helps.  You have to make sure you get the baking soda on all of your hair though or it will look greasy.

Answer

I did this for a while, with baking soda and white vinegar but it really didn't work for my hair type. I couldn't control the over production of sebum and my hair always looked greasy and gross. I've recently found out that the baking soda may have been further damaging my hair. Since trying no poo I have cut down on hair washing. I wash every other day or three. I'm now in search of the perfect restoration shampoo that's sufate and alcohol free.

Answer

I use coconut oil treatment and Whenever I dye my hair or straighten/curl I use vinegar to rinse! Baby soft hair after that!

Answer

Haven't gotten this far yet; I do coconut oil treatments, and I don't have to wash it as often. I already make my own face wash, most cleaning supplies and laundry detergent, and will eventually get to shampoo and body wash, but first I need to find an essential oil that my SO loves the smell of as much as my regular stuff.

Answer

I had used a cheap shampoo while on vacation and it made a lot of build up in my hair. I used dawn and baking soda and mixed as a paste and it made my hair so clean and shiny. It has been great ever since. I have done it once more since
