A couple reasons...
* Shampoo and conditioners are expensive
* They both contain harsh chemicals that can hurt your scalp and hair
* They both strip your hair of its natural oils
* Shampooing daily is really not good for your hair
Well, for over a year I have been reading about 'No Poo' Shampoo. It's basically a method of washing your hair without the harmful chemicals of shampoos and conditioners.
Here is all you need:
* Two containers
* Baking Soda
* Apple Cider Vinegar or White Vinegar
* Water
From what I have read, just mix 1 Tb of baking soda in 1 cup of water and then 1 Tb of ACV in a different cup of water. Make sure you use different cups...the results would not be good if you mixed them together. ;)
Pour the baking soda mixture over your head and massage your scalp lightly. Leave it in for a couple minutes and then wash out. Do the same for the ACV mixture. You will smell the vinegar at first, but by the end of your shower it will be gone and your hair will not smell.
So far my hair is pretty much the same and I cannot tell a difference yet. I have read that between 1 and 2 weeks there is an adjustment period (think 'greasy') but if you get through that, it gets better. I'll have to post an update when I have completed week one.
If you want more information, just search 'No Poo Shampoo'. Make sure to read the comments too, which have tons of great advice and tips.
