Shampoo Free

So recently I have attempted to get rid of shampoo all together. I know, it sounds crazy, but it has been pretty successful. I found a website that had tons of information on why shampoo is so bad for your hair. It basically strips away all of it's natural oils...along with all the other hair products. So, they recommend using baking soda. I use about a tablespoon (a little less) every time I wash my hair. I just make a paste with a little water and the baking soda. I rub it around in my hands and then just wash away. They recommend cider vinegar for conditioning. I haven't tried that yet (I need to go get some), so I have just been going without. My hair has feels clean and soft...and it's chemical free...amazing!! I will keep you posted on the cider vinegar once I give it a try.

It has almost been a month of shampoo free. I will have to say my hair is no different from when I used the regular chemical filled shampoo. I have had to use shampoo a few times due to certain circumstances, but I have mostly cut it out completely.
