No shampoo?

Hey Kind Lifers!
Just wanted to report that I have been trying the "no shampoo" system - and it's working great for me! I had been hearing about it a lot in articles and podcasts, and I'm really glad I started it!
It involves using a solution of baking soda and water to "shampoo" and then a solution of apple cider vinegar and water to rinse. I started it about 3 weeks ago and have found that I can use these solutions once every 5 days or so and my hair feels great and doesn't look greasy at all! The other days I just rinse my hair if I feel that it needs it.
I am sure that this must be better for the planet as opposed to all of that packaging and suds going down the drain - and it's much cheaper too! If you're interested, you can read more about it here ...

I don't use shampoo anymore either and I use cider vinegar as well. I don't really like that my hair smells like vinegar for an evening though!
Really? I find that the smell rinses out with the vinegar - at least I THINK it does ... I'll have to ask my boyfriend!
I've done this too.. it is GREAT :-) But doesn't work for everyone.. depends on hair type and quantity of mix and use.
