@peppermintcherry, yes I just use it in the shower (: i use a cup to tablespoon ratio for each, so a tablespoon of baking soda to a cup of water to wash, then another cup of water with a tablespoon of lemon juice for the rinse :]
@LittleLotte & @CuteKittyCat, i’m sorry that it didn’t work for you D: i guess everyone’s hair is different, though. but kitty, I think you might be talking about the adjustment period, which is only temporary. the scalp is used to shampoo stripping its natural oils, so it tries to compensate by producing more. how long did you stay with it? it usually gets better within a week or so(:
@Sara-W & @SkiVegChick, vinegar does make it shiny, but smells terrible! that’s why i use lemon juice, it has the same effect but doesn’t stink. & actually VegChick, the vinegar doesn’t dry it out! baking soda is basic, and opens up your hair follicle; the lemon juice just slams it shut again, which is what keeps it so shiny! (and tangle free!) I could get into more science stuff on the subject, but i feel like this post is going to be really long! xD
@Breanne707, my hair has honestly never been healthier in my life! i highly recommend you give it a try :] like i said before, there’s sometimes an adjustment period, but not everyone has it. (i didn’t!) :p i really think it just all depends on how damaging your previous shampoo was. but even if i did have an adjustment, my hair is so soft, silky, and manageable now, i know it’d be worth it (: my only complaint is that my hair is now so soft, that it won’t even hold hairspray! so yeah, but really i think it’s a good thing.
any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

@Sara-W
vinegar dries out your scalp, and that leads to dandruff!!
I just use garnier fructis, they say they dont test on animals

That is an amazing idea!!!:o I wana try it out now!!:) Soo does it make your hair dry?? Silky? Normal-ish?? haha:)

i tried doing that but my hair is like weird and it got really gross so i just couldn’t stand it anymore haha but i found this shop close to my house and everything they sell is cruelty free so i try to buy all my make ups and body washes/shampoos from there

I’ve tried the no-poo method in the past but personally find the shampoo bars from Lush are better for me because I get a very dry and itchy scalp and they contain essential oils (and they’re vegan!).

I’ve heard of doing that, but have never personally used that myself. I’ve just been buying yes to cucumbers and Nature’s Gate shampoo and conditioner. So how exactly do you do that baking soda lemon juice thing? Like do you use it in the shower?

Well, I’m pretty new here, (okay, really new) but I was just wondering if anyone else has heard of the no-poo method? Honestly, in my profile pic, it’s not been shampooed for a couple months now and honestly, it works great. Buuuuuuut I was also thinking that it would be a good thing for animals too, it’s always difficult to know for sure whether or not a product is animal friendly, and this whole thing basically eliminates that risk! All i use is baking soda, lemon juice, and water, so I know that there are no animal ingredients or testing, and like I said, the results are amazing! I was just looking for thoughts on this & to get the word out, and partially looking for friends around the site (: any input is welcomed!
