No poo for hair
For a while I have seen a craze about NO POO for hair. So I started to dig into this to see what it was all about. Basically you’re removing the store bought shampoo’s from your bath and daily cleaning routine. Well I thought I’d give this a try since I already make other natural items for my skin and body, why not venture into shampoo too. I started this journey roughly around October of this year and totally cut out the shampoo and conditioner usage and stuck with a more natural made shampoo. There are tons of simple and basic recipes, however what people don’t realize is that your hair has a pH balance and the ingredients all the way to the water in your home has a pH level as well. If you don’t find the right balance it reflects in your hair.
When you make an abrupt change such as cutting out shampoo’s that are chemically filled and have preservatives it takes a few weeks for your hair to even adjust to the change, but if you can stick it out, it is so worth it. Your hair and scalp will love you for it!
Hair rinses are another key as well as using a little ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar). I have a few different rinses I can use and will probably keep 2-3 on hand for different times. There is also “Dry Shampoo” this is very easy to use and has a range of benefits depending on what powder you’re using as the base.
So as I continue to explore the whole No Poo Hair method, I am really loving it more and more.
