3 months later, I still don't use Shampoo

Since September, I've ditched the bottle and started washing with baking soda and conditioning with apple cider vinegar, and I will never go back. { Original Post Here } I am so happy with my hair, it feels healthier than it ever has. Plus, I am extremely happy knowing  exactly what I am putting in my hair. Store bought products contain so many chemicals, and many are actually bad for your body. Another bonus is I am actually SAVING money!! Since most of the products I make use the same ingredients I am able to get the most for my dollar. Stay tuned for more on my 'no poo' adventure!

My hair routine is pretty set now, I "wash" about twice a week and deep condition { DIY Deep Conditioner }once a week.

For the "wash" days:
1. I use the BS and ACV in the shower like a normal wash and condition.
2. Once out of the shower I dry my hair with an old t-shirt (it helps keep the frizz down).
3. I use my homemade hair serum: coconut oil, argan oil, Patchouli, Rosemary, Geranium, Tea Tree, and Lavender.
4. Then I use my homemade leave-in-conditioner: coconut milk, filtered water, vitamin E oil, Rosemary, Patchouli, Cedarwood, and Geranium.
5. I use a large, wide bristled comb to comb through and detangle
6. I let my hair dry naturally, no blow drying for this mane :)

For the no wash days:
1. I sleep with my hair in a braid or a bun on a silk pillow case
2. When I wake up I spray my hair with homemade leave-in-conditioner
3. Then I use homemade hair serum on the ends of my hair (just a little, it can get greasy if its overdone)
4. Then I style as usual!
