'Poo Free

My bar shampoo arrived!!!
























Thanks to a recommendation from a friend I've taken a plunge. I'm going 'Poo free. No more bottled shampoo or conditioner. I'd been using Wen for my curly hair, but recent media attention made me switch back to Dove,, but I wanted to try something better for my hair and the environment! My hair washing now includes; coconut oil once or twice a week, just a half hour before I shower to let it soak into my hair and add the extra moisture my curles like, (the excess oil all washes out with the J.R. Liggetts bar soap), then I rinse with apple cider vinegar mixed in water to help the Ph balance, and then just rinse with water. So far it's worked out really well. I'll keep you updated. I've heard there's a transition period while your hair adapts to not using shampoo. I rarely used shampoo to begin with, since I have curls, so I may not suffer like others. Shampoo as we know it today didn't come into existence till the 1930's, and the harsh detergents in shampoo wreak havoc on your hair's natural ability to produce the oils that keep your mane looking healthy and less frizzy. Here's a site I found really helpful, that shares the benefits and several different "no-poo" options if you're interested in giving it a whirl. Don't get discouraged though!! Keep it up and I promise you'll enjoy the benefits, and feel a lot better about helping the environment as well!

Here's where I bought my bar shampoo.
http://www.iherb.com

But there are several online sellers you can get it from, including Amazon.

 As you can see from the picture its 100% "Earth Friendly" And definitely worth the price, at $6.74/bar, as it's the equivalent of a 24oz bottle of shampoo. I'd recommend keeping it in a soap saver dish to protect it from the shower water which will diminish the number of uses.

My kids are going to start trying it, and their hair is the opposite of mine, I'll get an update out soon and let you know how it goes!

Hope you give it a try and let me know what you think!
