It's called the 'No Poo Method'
Hair Cleanser
2 Tbsp Baking Soda
2 gtts Tea Tree Essential oil
add to a 500ml mason jar
fill with water
pour over head and rinse
Conditioning Rinse
2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 gtts Rosemary Essential Oil
add to a 500ml mason jar
fill with water
pour over head and rinse
So why am I trying this strange fad? The truth is over the last few years I've heard all the wonder stories about how the No Poo method transformed crazy, unruly, frizzy hair into hair that is manageable and even less frizzy. So of course I had to try it. Over the last year I tried the No Poo method a few times, but each time I get this itch to go back on the bottle. This time, I'm sticking to it.
In the last week I have noticed my hair is less frizzy, I actually haven't used frizz serum either. After the shower I put a little (Really a tiny bit) coconut oil on my hair, avoiding the roots, to give it some added moisture. I think this has really helped combat the frizz. My hair also smells wonderful, not a hint of vinegar in these tresses. The hardest part to get used to was my hair not being silky smooth when I got out of the shower. Thats because I got rid of the traditional conditioner, which coats your hair in silicone. Not really what I want all over my hair.

How does it work?
Baking soda absorbs the excess oil in our hair from daily life. The hair isn't stripped of its natural oils and as a result, it doesn't feel dry and frizzy after each wash. The apple cider vinegar conditions the hair shaft and balances the pH of the hair. It leaves the hair feeling silkier, smoother, and with far less frizz.
The beauty industry has made us think that we NEED shampoo, but really we don't. What do you think they did in the old days? They didn't have Paul Mitchell or Treseme. With the No Poo method hair is supposed to stay grease free for a longer amount of time, which means you don't need to wash it daily. Now for me, I only was my hair every 2-3 days (some do wash daily). The idea of not having to wash my hair that often was VERY appealing to me. I like to think my beauty routine is pretty low maintenance, so why not make it less low maintenance?!
So what do I have to lose? Nothing!
Stay tuned and I'll be sure to keep you updated on my 'No Poo' experience!
