Leah, thanks for your comment. I agree with everything you said. Powder can absorb oil and make hair look clean but it really needs to be washed away the next day.

If I go a day without washing my hair, I sometimes put a small amount of baby powder on my fingers and kind of toussel it into any greasy spots(like around my face). Just make sure you toussel it enough, or you’ll have some white in you’re hair! Also, be sure to wash you’re hair the next day, as the powder will weigh hair down if used very frequently.

Denise, thank you for sharing your experience. The transition period must be awful (i have oily hair that gets greasy so quickly which is what is still putting me off from going no poo yet) and it’s hard not to reach for the shampoo when your hair is greasy but I’m glad that, once that was over, it left your hair in a much better condition.

I’ve been “No Poo” since New Years 2011, and it has been a treat. Not only am I spending wayyyyy less on shampoos (since I am a treehuggingdirtworshipper I felt I could only buy biodegradable “organic” shampoo without guilt and that is expensive), but my hair does not have the split ends or dry spells. The first six weeks on the baking soda and vinegar regimen left me with frequently greasy hair, but after my hair settled down my hair looked great. Now I am transitioning to water-only… and it’s looking like it’s going to be the same sort of transitioning period (my hair feels very greasy, though does not look terrible). I’m sticking with it, though every now and again I do long for the smell of shampoo…

but another great thing about it is that I have been plagued with sebaceous cysts (a buildup of sebum) on my scalp since mid-high school… and now that I am not forcing my scalp to produce excess sebum the cysts have stopped growing! (and some are even shrinking!)

So if anyone is thinking of committing to the “no-poo” lifestyle, I’d certainly vouch for it!

Courtney, using shampoos works better but you can wash it with water alone too. That Lush bar shampoo sounds like a great deal, I’m glad it works well for you.

WOW that is so interesting i didnt know you could wash your hair with just water. You can also get shampoo in bar form like from Lush, I like it because it saves me money, it lasts forever and it’s worth 3 bottles of shampoo for the one 10 dollar bar.

Naz, thank you!

That’s too bad shampoo didn’t work for you, but coconut oil is great for hair. It’s one of the few oils that can actually penetrate hair and is so beneficial for it.

Great article, you clearly are beautiful with brains.
Im currenty trying not to use shampoo as it doesnt do ANYTHING for my hair
and use oils (olive, coconut and maybe rosemary later on).
