For those of you that aren't into make it yourself cleaning and hygiene projects, no-poo doesn't mean that you don't need to go the bathroom, it means going without shampoo.
I first considered finding a recipe for making my own shampoo and conditioner, but found that every site or blog I visited brought up no-poo as an alternative. I figured I would try it and I was pleasantly surprised! This is the method I use. I take two small plastic re-purposed margarine tubs into the shower with me (I actually set them on the side of the tub till I'm ready to fill them with water). In one I put two tablespoons of baking soda and in the other I put two tablespoons of vinegar and a drop or two of essential oil (I used rose most of the time). First I fill the baking soda dish with warm water and stir it up with my finger. Then I message it through my hair and rinse it out. Then I do the same with the vinegar mixture. It works really well for me. The vinegar mixture makes it easy to comb out.
My biggest concern was that I have psoriasis and I was worried that the vinegar would trigger a break out, but so far (I've used the method three times now) it hasn't.
