I never dreamed my thick, curly waist length hair wouldn't need conditioner! Not only that, before I never wore it down because it would tangle so horrendously, with a big rat's nest at the back of my neck. Since going 'poo free, I've worn it down 3 times!!! I bought some unrefined shea butter and I use it on the ends, whcich tend to dry out, and the bit of frizz at my temples and widows peak. The vinegar leaves it so soft and pretty. I can't tell if the acv is making it a tad darker or not. I also like the fizzy chemical reaction, it's very invigorating. Oh happy day!

One thing that immediately stunned me: I can still get a comb through my hair, despite the lack of conditioner! I have fairly long highlighted hair and never dreamed of attempting to go without conditioner. I'm happy! My question: how often does one "wash" one's hair with this soda/acv mix? I washed my hair every other day with shampoo. Any thoughts? Just started this week sans ‘poo.

It can make your hair more stronger. I think you may try coconut extract for a healthier hair. It can make your hair more stronger.

My 11 year old daughter doesn't do well with regular shampoos because of overly sensitive skin (eczema on the scalp) that makes it look as tho she has HORRIBLE dandruff. She's hitting the age where she is VERY self conscious and has resorted to just wearing ponytails all the time to hide it. The shampoo we've had to use is VERY expensive for a VERY small bottle. I have been looking for ways to make my own shampoo for her and this is a WONDERFUL idea!! Thanks sooooo much! I'll be starting her on this tonight (and probably myself too! LOL) This came just in time for me!!!

I take 1000mcg per day of vit B12.

I massage my scalp twice a day and have let the hair color grow out (almost 95% out now), cut my hair very short back in December and it's still short. I have a touch of gray which I don't like but plan to use lemon juice this summer to give it a frosted look. Do you know if this new "poo-free" helps stimulate the hair growth? If you know of anything I can do to get my hair to grow, please let me know. Thanks. Lucy This is a fantastic idea, but I have very fine hair and it grows so slow.
