OSC: The No Poo Hair Washing Method

Have you heard of No Poo?  It is an all natural method of washing your hair using baking soda and apple cider vinegar in place of shampoo and conditioner.  I love it and strongly recommend you try it! I was hesitant at first, but now I love it even more than any shampoo I have ever used.

I did a lot of research and found that everyone does it just a little different. I took what I learned and came up with a way that works for me. I use the baking soda and water mix in place of the shampoo, then use the apple cider vinegar and water mixture in place of a conditioner.

I made the video below a year ago and since then have gone back and forth between the no poo method and my natural shampoo.  After about a month of using the no poo my hair dries out so I will switch to shampoo for a week or so and then go back.  I have heard that by adding rosemary to the baking soda mix helps with the dryness, but I haven't tried this yet.  If you have any tricks on helping with dryness, please let me know!

Please watch the video below for details on how it works:

  1. I went No Poo almost two years ago and LOVE IT! Not only am I cutting out awful chemicals and two plastic bottles every month, I don't have to go to the store (or without a wash) if I run out ;)
