Comments on: No shampoo, week 5: Success! http://inashoe.com/2009/04/shampoo-week-5-success/ the methods and madness of one family of 12 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:10:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Talitha http://inashoe.com/2009/04/shampoo-week-5-success/#comment-59623 Talitha Tue, 29 Nov 2011 01:46:57 +0000 http://inashoe.com/?p=4313#comment-59623 I'm excited about trying this out now... I've been reading all sorts of blogs about no-poo and have been tossing the idea around for weeks. I've actually weened myself off using shampoo very often (only about twice a week) and so hopefully my transition period won't be very long anyways. Another really cool hair tip that I read today: clean your hairbrushes every day! If you think about it, whatever's in your brush is going to make it's way into your hair, including those excess oils. If you clean them once a day the maintenance really isn't all that much, especially compared to cleaning them say once per week, where the buildup would be much harder to clean. Anyways, thanks for all the posts! Ps. found your blog by reading this blog: http://onjustacoupleacres.blogspot.com/2011/11/no-poo-faq.html I’m excited about trying this out now…

I tried shampoo BARS, but even with a vinegar rinse, it was kind of straw-like and hard to work with. I've thought about trying baking soda instead, but I'm a little afraid to take the plunge. I can deal with oily for a while, but I'm not sure I want to deal with weeks of can't-drag-a-brush-through-it. BTW, am I seeing correctly in your header photo that you have EIGHT girls and one boy? He must get lots of pampering! Is it manageable? I tried shampoo BARS, but even with a vinegar rinse, it was kind of straw-like and hard to work with.

There *will* be a part 6. I guess I forgot just how good that egg shampoo was. I had just done it 3 days earlier, and that was more of a factor than I realized. Lois,

I have a question about your daughters' curly hair. My hair is naturally curly, but I use mousse to keep it from getting frizzy. Would you be able to use styling products if you couldn't wash them out or do you think the need for the styling product would go away?
