It's coming up 3 years since I first heard of no-pooing and just dove in and gave it a go.
After the initial settling in period (around 6 wks) I haven't looked back nor thought twice about my hair routine. After breaking free from the daily shampoo cycle (even using SLS free natural shampoos) I now wash my hair twice a week and the only thing going near it is baking soda to clean it and ACV (apple cider vinegar) as the rinse to smooth the hair.
I was curious recently when I visited the hairdresser for the first time in 18 mths (I'm growing my hair) as to how she found the condition of it. I started raving on about the BS/ACV routine but pulled myself up in case she thought it was in terrible condition lol.
Anyway, she couldn't get over the fact that I don't use a condition and just how soft and lovely my hair is. So there you go.
And where did all this curl come from??? Seriously, I always had lank straightish hair with a few weird waves that I have always hated and spent my life trying to straighten out. It wasn't till I realised without the weight of shampoos and conditioners that my hair is quite different and providing I don't brush it I can avoid a fuzzy look lol.

I too don't wash with shampoo. And after a 6 week period things were absolutely fine. Haven't used shampoo for the last 4 years or so. And my hair is so soft, silky and wonderful. Every now and then I wet my hands with soap and run them through my hair.
I reckon we got sucked in with that whole lather rinse repeat exercise. I'm gently encouraging others to abandon shampoos.
Hehe you wrote the post I had running around in my mind!
Your garden is looking amazing! Your hair too! Who needs shampoo? Not us :)
Christopher - yeah, it's hard convincing others eh?
Free, it's amazing how good a garden and house can look when you have no social life for a few months lol.
