Day18:WOOhoo No 'Poo

Your probably thinking...wait what? did I read that right? What I mean is no SHAMPOO, yes I have not used shampoo in my hair for two whole months!! And it is not a massiev grease ball full of insects and dirt:) Actually lots of shampoo has many toxic chemicals, that go through the skin and sit in your blood stream for a very long time, it may make your hair look good from time to time, but after a few days your hair starts to look greasy and dirty, and may need a wash with shampoo again! It's like a whole cycle, and that's what the companies want...for you to buy more and more of their shampoo!! Shampoo cleans your hair but it also strips many of the natural oils your body produces and NEEDS, to keep your hair soft, strong, and healthy. When you strip all the oils in your hair, more start to form in your hair, therefore making your hair even greasier, but when you stop stripping the oils, your body can naturally replenish them, and does not produce as much.
If you want to still clean your hair use
1.Baking soda
2. Apple Cider Vinegar


This is the one we use- it's super good!


In a small container I put in a tsp. of baking soda, dilute with water, then massage the paste in my hair in the shower. In another container I add a bit less than a tsp. of the vinegar, dilute with water, and dump it on my hair, and the ends of my hair. The baking soda gets rid of dirt, dandruff, and sebum, and leaves your hair clean, while the vinegar acts like a kind of conditioner, and makes your hair alot softer, and silky like (almost like shampoo).
