Official Update on the “No Poo” Situation
Ok. . .I have to confess, my baking soda/apple cider vineger shampooing method isn’t working out so well. It works wonderfully for about 5 days, then my hair feels gross, so I give in and shampoo. I am almost all out of shampoo, and am in need of a better option. A friend suggested trying Dr. Bronners liquid soap. So I went out and bought the peppermint scent. I cannot stand the smell, and I seem to be allergic to it, as I broke out in all kinds of hives. Also it makes my hair feel even more gross than the baking soda/ACV. Only I could be allergic to something so natural. Ah well, I am open to any suggestions, help??? On the plus side I have been shampooing much less often, every 4-5 days. Grr. . . I am still using the Dr. Bronners for cleaning and such, but I can’t use it on my body or my hair. Now what?
On a much more positive note, the baking soda as deodorant is working beautifully. Really, I will never ever ever ever use anything else. . .
