It's funny because when we "learn" something new or create a new "trend" and share it and it becomes a ne "thing" it's actually not new by any means. Our early ancestors did not wash their hair, they did not wear bras & underwear, they did not eat processed foods. The trends we are creating now days was the norm to them. So Basically we need to just get back to our early ancestral ways of living. As close to natural as possible while simultaneously live in a modern civilization. IMO
agree!! :)
hi Hannah! I've been no poo for almost a year now and one thing I've learned that helps is before you get into the shower you scritch and preen, and that's where you gently massage your scalp and then distribute the oils to the length of your hair, and jump in the shower and scritch once more under the running water and that will help get any dirt and gunk off your scalp and I promise you will notice a big difference
I hope you're using coconut oil to shave because it's UHMAZING! It leaves everything super smooth and I don't need to moisturizer afterward because the oil. I also never have razor burn anymore. It's seriously worth a try.
I would of never thought of that, brilliant!
Tara Oster coconut oil clogs my razors
Coconut oil can clog your drains.
if you use warm water in a little bowl, soak your razors after and kind of thump them on the sides, your problem should be solved! The water doesn't even need to be too hot.
run some hot water (like, for rinsing your self or catch some as you shower) and you should be fine.
People have I stop titling "why I don't wash my hair" or "I don't wash my hair" because technically, she just washes her hair without shampoo
I haven't washed my hair in well over a year. I did some experimenting with natural rinses. I tried baking soda BAD IDEA NO ONE EVER DO THAT. My scalp was so oily and itchy to the point people probably thought I had lice lol. Anyways I used apple cider vinegar for a year then a few months ago noticed my hair was getting oily (I was using the rinse once a week or sometimes less) and my scalp was itchy so I am now not using anything and I have no oil problems and my scalp is healthier than ever. I've always my whole life struggles with an itchy scalp and it's nice to finally have some relief. I love you Hannah and I'm so happy you've found the no poo world. I use essential oils with sea water (I live near the Oregon coast) and sometimes a little lemon juice all mixed together as my product. I don't straighten my hair or curl it because my natural hair is beautiful so I'm lucky I don't find myself needing hair spray. ALSO my hair (curly) has never been more attractive and my curls stay together and I don't have that awkward "oil free frizz" I like to call it.
I'm a hairstylist (and vegan!) and I only wash my hair once every two weeks. I use vegan shampoo and conditioners. Shampoo is meant to open up your cuticle and and help wash away all of the elements and grease and sweat and keep your hair follicles clear. Conditioner closes up that cuticle to protect your hair shaft so that you won't dry out your hair. Your scalp adjusts over time to how often you wash it usually regardless of the method. If this method works for you that's great though!
Thats so cool, thanks for the info :)
Sarah Rosenfelder can you recommend a good vegan all natural shampoo and conditioner for healthy hair? 😀 please 🙏🏽
Sarah Rosenfelder What do you think about using conditioner before shampoo?
I have been using 100% Pure brand poo and conditioner. works really well. wash about once a week now. thinking about trying this method too :)
Sarah Rosenfelder what vegan shampoo conditioner you use? I wash my hair like every 8th day-once a week pretty much but I couldn't imagine every 2weeks!!-by the 6th day I cant wait to wash it!
My mother taught me to bathe and wash my hair once per week. She claimed washing your hair everyday led to early grey hair. I doubt that is true but she had barely any grey hair at 60 years old.
Can we start a movement to rename it NO SHAM???!! Gosh I hate the word poo #cryface
The woman who started the phrase used it as kind of a joke. No poo, basically stands for no chemical shit, but (poo) is a nicer word that also goes with shampoo
alexbrynna YAAAAS NO SHAM IS GENIUS
xD all the chemicals are poo!! lets let it have different names :D No sham or no poo whatever you prefer ❤
alexbrynna sounds cute when she says it
I don't understand why anyone would dislike this. If you don't want to try it, or it doesn't work for you, then don't? lol, people are weeeeird. Thanks for sharing the arrowroot tip!
Awesome move, Hannah. I started out using apple cider vinegar but now I do the water only method (scritch and preen). It's been about over a year now since I dumped all hair products and I love it. It was an adjustment while my hair balanced out, and while that was happening I wore my hair in a bun a lot but now my hair is so healthy. Even with exercise my hair doesn't get greasy anymore and its nice not to have to wash it everyday. 😘
Yes, girl! I've been using a mixture of apple cider vinegar and fresh squeezed lemon juice, watered down just a little. I use it about every three days or so. Glad to hear someone speaking about how great it is because my hair has also never been healthier! ☺
thats awesome, I just love the simplicity!
Ive been no poo for about 6 months, i use a homemade soap nut liquid once a week directly applied to my roots, then a light spritz of acv mix on my roots and leave it in(ratio of 1 tbsp acv to one cup h2o). My hair has grown so much and just feels so light and clean!
I am on day 13 of "no poo" or anything else in my hair but water. The first like 11 days my hair was like an oil slick, but gradually I started to notice that I would wake up and it would look more like "normal." I only wash with water every four or five days. Today is the thirteenth and there is a huge noticeable improvement.
I ve been doing it for about 3 weeks and I love it. No more hair products for me ever!
you might need to stop using the salt spray once you move into the tiny house, if you don't want salt in your grey water
truth teller I was thinking the same thing...
same ahahah
was wondering about the same thing
I know this method wouldn't work for you guys in your tiny home, but I use baking soda to wash my hair. Then I use the apple cider vinegar as a conditioner. I use baking soda because it removes any product I have in my hair. My hair has never been so shiny and strong. I love it!
I've been working up to this! I can now go about a week and a half without washing, and I use a cleansing conditioner. When I run out I will be trying just the ACV. Since I've stopped washing every other day, my hair has become so much healthier. I can finally grow it now!
i stopped washing my hair, i did need to rinse with warm water every day for the oil build up ( nadia from raw for the soul is my friend and she said to give it a month) I went a couple days without rinsing i just left my hair up, and it turned into a HUGE grease ball and i couldn't even run my fingers through.... i rinsed under the shower head with watered down shampoo ( every soap for every kid or something like that) and kind feel like I was able to jump start back into the groove I was in. I do see that rinsing with just water AND brushing out my hair is important, I have pretty think hair and its very wavy. Anyways, I LOVE no longer washing every god damn day like I used to. Right now I am down to washing it every 3 weeks. And hopefully that grease ball never happens again and I can just be done with washing with shampoo forever. My hair is super full and I LOVE IT, as opposed to used to get flat easy and I would hot iron it daily or curl it and somehow end up hating it lol. Self love is all about simplicity
I went No poo 2-3 years ago. I went through several methods as my scalp and hair adjusted to it. Last summer I found my oil production went into overdrive for the last time really, and I needed a stronger method. But by the Fall, it had calmed down again.
Now I use almost nothing but distilled water. The excess minerals in my municipal tap water make my sebum tough and waxy. Using distilled water keeps it smooth and skinny. I don't even wash it in the shower anymore. I massgae, scritch, and preen. Then I spray it down with distilled water and air dry it in the sun. I find this cleanses the perfect amount of sebum from my hair.
Good luck on your no poo journey! I started with baking soda and ACV just like you do 3 years ago!
Oooohh, please be careful not to massage your hair too much with your nails. I have very thin and fine hair and I learned the hard way when it comes to scrubbing your scalp with your fingernails because it leads to excessive hair fall, or even bald spots! Again, everyones hair is different, but if anyones hair is like mine, I just thought it would give my two cents. :) Its better to scrub lightly but longer with your fingertips.
Yep, I've had dry hair my whole life. Two years ago I stopped using shampoo and conditioner. I only rinse it now with water. My hair is no longer dry and it is very clean. Sometimes I only rinse it once a week.
Samuel DiPaola Did it change the thickness of your hair? xx
Minhie no, I didn't notice that. My hair is pretty thick already, so I didn't notice a difference.

I do brush my teeth lol
Hannah do you color your hair
no i dont color my hair
Random Vegan Girl lol
Linda Lawrence I think you're being a little ridiculous ..
Every time you make a video on why you do or don't do a certain thing, or why you've made a certain change in your life, it always convinces me to do it, too!
Just out of curiosity what do you use for toothpaste and deodorant?
Sand and rain water
@@mattstevens7601 lol
How long did it take for your hair to stop producing the excess oil?
yes, how long?
I want to know too!
your hair over time will get use to you not washing it everyday, and in a way you will train it to not get oily as fast.
brianna bossard about a month
great no one really answered the question that we all are dying to know. I just hate putting my greasy head on my pillow.
I stopped washing my hair with store products almost four years ago. At first I had a lot more oil in my hair that normal and I would wash with shampoo only once every three or four months but gradually I stopped all products and now I just rinse with hot water. The results I eventually got were thicker shinier hair. My head doesn't produce the oil as much any more even when I swet all day.

I transitioned to no poo at the beginning of september too and was really exited for this video, when you announced it :) I started with rye flour, but that didn't work that well for me. Now I use banking soda with a vinegar rinse at my hair is very soft and clean. I'll try only vinegar as well. Thank you for your experiences and tipps.
I came from washing my hair every second day and now I only wash it once a week, too. And it doesn't look greasy at the end of the week.
I hesitated a long time to try no poo on my self, but it is totally worth it! For the first 3 weeks I always wore my hair in a bun, but now it adjusted prefectly. I really can not recommend it enough to everyone :)
I use corn starch as a "dry shampoo" and my hair is dark, but slowly going grey naturally as I'm 54 ~ I then brush it out with a boar bristle brush ~ works for me. Also, it gives very fine hair a lot more body, which is great :-) ... Hannah, any reason why the arrowroot powder would be better ? LOVE your channel, and love your new little house. We should all live simple off the grid lifestyles. You go girl! xx
If I go just two days without washing my hair, it looks and feels SO OILY and I cannot stand it!! I would LOVE to switch to this method and do away with shampoo and conditioner!! My worry is the transition time... How long did it take your hair to adjust and for your scalp to stop producing so much oil? Also, my hair is very fine and tends to tangle easily. Does your hair get tangles and if so, how do you get them out? Thanks! I cannot wait to try this!
I love doing tea rinses every once in a while to replace to ACV sometimes, it makes my hair smell so fragrant, cleanses just as well, and is more gentle and moisturizing :)
What about tangles with the tea or AVC method? I need conditioner for the tangles
tokarenp acv acts as a conditioner. I have curly hair and it was super smooth to brush out after my shower
black girls have been doing apple cider vinager rinses for forever because shampoo strips our hair of moisture and our hair isnt naturally oily like whites. but neways
Tnc874 im white and i have real dry hair
But anyways? While I agree with your statement, I don't understand why you had to say we've been doing it forever. It's not like we can't all benefit from it, right?
Of course you have to take a nice informative video made to help people and turn it into some stupid "Blacks have had/done this before ANYONE ever. I have literally been alive since the human race began and know that not one white person did this before me". typical.
Tnc874 you didn't invent it if that's what you're getting at? It just got more popular for a different reason with other people.
Do you want a trophy for being born into a certain culture? Did you make up the idea of apple cider vinegar rinses? Stop acting so entitled and just be nice. Anyone can benefit from these rinses, it's not owned by one culture.
My hair started falling out when I stopped washing it or substituted with home-made products :( My scalp also started hurting any time I touched/combed it. I went back to a vegan/cruelty free PH balanced shampoo/conditioner and it fixed everything and even soothed my scalp. This, however, was during the time I was pretty low fat so maybe now that I eat more fats it'd be safer.
Samantha Taylor my hair started shedding a lot as well... super annoying
Same with me. I suppose it's like anything else in that everyone's body chemistry is different, so therefore everyone's experience will be different. In my case, I've found that shampooing infrequently (which fir me means 1-2x per week) works the best, all things considered.
Yes, I agree, I also only shampoo 1-2 times a week and that works really well. :)
What is the name of the shampoo and conditioner you use now? I'm not sure what to look for.
+Karen Allmond I use the Alba Botanica brand in mango/hawaiian line.
It's cruelty free, ph balanced, sulfate free, and vegetarian
ingredients. Sometimes my local store has a sale on the items,
sometimes it's cheaper on Amazon. I don't recommend the coconut scent
because I personally had issues with that and then I read that if your
hair is naturally protein rich coconut products could be an issue for
you and can end up closing the hair cuticles making it difficult to
absorb water/remove product. Not sure if that's correct, but I've had a
lot of success with the mango scent. If you have trouble getting shampoo
all the way through your hair like I did recently (after using the
coconut scent), I went with a clarifying shampoo that unfortunately had
sulfates. I'm just using up the bottle though every other wash or so
just to make sure my hair is actually getting clean. For the clarifying
shampoo I am using Avalon Organics Lemon scent which is also cruelty
free/vegan. Whole Foods didn't have a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo or
I would've gone with something else. Good luck!
So happy to hear this works for you! I transitioned via products running out as well & ended up coming to water-only and love it. Not to mention super convenient for all of the moving around I do :p
I am glad to know this, there's got to be a better alternative than commercial shampoo
Makes a lot of Good Sense
I do the same thing only with baking powder in water. Works just as good. Because I really dislike the smell of vinegar. So simple! So good!
soooooooo. my question is about your make up. why do you wear make up? have you read the ingredients? our skin absorbs everything we expose to it.
do you know if any natural alternative?
about me:
I stopped washing my hair and stopped wearing deodorant. The chemicals, plastic waste, my sensitive skin, and living a healthier, more simplistic lifestyle has become a priority. Saving the $ is also a plus. I have also stopped wearing make up. eye shadow is made of talc. Which, like the sulfates and parabens in shampoo, the glycol in lotions, hair product, and junk food, IS cancer causing. Ever get an eyelash in your eye? I have and it suddenly occurred to me that I now had talc and mascara in my eye.
I would love to hear your thoughts.
thanks for reading
& I love your channel!
I use the Dr. Bronners hair cream as a leave in conditioner and ACV + some lemon mixed with water for shampoo and it works great
I tried this before. I used an empty soy sauce bottle, I put half ACV, half water, and I put a cinnamon stick in the bottle. Then I saved the plastic drip topper to apply it to my scalp and it worked pretty well. Then I used baking soda because it is so similar to arrowroot powder. Applying Baking Soda to the greasy hair was a quick fix. I think I"m going to start doing it again.
I stopped washing/conditioning a couple months ago and I love it. I have super curly hair, the only product I use is coconut oil! And it doesn't build up at all cause I rinse my hair everytime I shower :) my hair has never been healthier. I'm going to try this apple cider vinegar rinse! Thank you :)
wait what? so what if your scalp sweat? Like when you have a long workout or live in a tropical country, you will sweat and your hair will smell awful, can apple cider get rid of the smell and actually clean?
If you do have product in your hair, you can make a baking soda paste with water and baking soda in the palm of your hand and just scrub it into your roots. I did this along with the apple cider vinegar rinse.
I use a tea tree oil baking soda rinse and lavender oil apple cidar vinegar rinse and I love it. When I 1st started "no poo" I used dr. bronners castile soap and coconut milk but it was awful. I think its because I have straight hair that is naturally oilly. The moment I switched methods I had the best hair ever. It's important that people find the best method for their hair.
I'm gunna try this once I run out of the shampoo and conditioner I have. Saves a lot of money. Great Idea!
I started washing my hair with only water in the middle of November, and the first week or so I could definitely feel the grease build up near the top of my head (but not the root). it progressively got worse because I was brushing my hair with a bamboo brush that I failed to clean. I stopped using that for about a week now, and after a water only shower (which this week I only had to do twice), my hair feels pretty clean all over, and looks 100% fine. it has more volume then any shampoo has ever given me. and it smells fine. as for my hair type... I have three times more hair on my head then the average person and always have. I always have hairless because of this but with water only my hair doesn't come out in as large amounts in the shower. my only lingering downside of transitioning is a few locks at the back of my head that diffidently feel not clean, but I'm hoping with more showers it will eventually come out like had happened for the rest of my hair. I'm sure this type of hair routine won't work for everyone, but it works for me so far, and I highly recommend people to try it because it's so low maintenance, saves money, and makes you feel all natural and flawless :)
my grand mother was a hairhairdresser and she thought me a recepie for shiny haelthy hair: third of a cup olive oil, third of a cup
apple sider vinger, one egg yolk i guss you can add lavender drops in it . massage the hair and the sculp with it leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse with water. u will be so suprise how soft and shiny your hair will be.
Super interesting!! :) but I thought the reason for not shampooing was not using salt in your hair? Then you spray salt in... surely that will then go into the water system? Defo considering trying this!
Katie Kookaburra---I thought the same thing when she said about the salt spray...makes no sense?!
I think she said no salt because the shower water, "gray water" is going to be drained to water trees outside when they live at the tiny house.
I'm also confused, doesn't she wash her face with regular face wash either? (they contain salt too)
Katie Kookaburra maybe sea salt is different?
Salt in shampoo means all the sulfates. if u take chemistry class, u would have know this.
Apple cider vinegar is great, as well as baking soda. If someone wants to still use shampoos the only one I would suggest is the Jaggett's soap bar. It's made with oils and functions as a conditioner as well.
While as a leave-in conditioner you can homemade flax seed gel, if you want more hold. I'm super curly so I do that.
I'm currently washing my hair with rye flower and then I rinse it with either regular vinegar 1:10 with water or with lemon juice mixed also about 1:10 with water. I have bleached blonde hair and after this method it is difficult to brush, I need to be careful - BUT once I brush it and once my hair dries, it is super soft and silky afterward. And one huge benefit - the hair dries faster. There are also hair soaps - no chemicals, just healthy oils. I have one form Manna, but haven't used it yet. I unfortunately don't like apple cider vinegar, the smell makes me nauseous for some reasons - too bad, I just bought a bottle of it ;) well, I'll use it for something else in the kitchen. Anyway, I feel like I don't want to go back to regular products anymore. My hair is softer and the scalp feels great. I will continue bleaching my hair, I with manic panic which is vegan, because I have a lot of grey in dark ash blonde and I'm just not ready for it. I will stop once my entire hair will turn grey. But I have the impression that despite bleaching my hair no poo workers great.
I just started doing this! I've spent the last year removing a lot of chemicals out of my house and what I use on my body. I'm only on day 2 so I have no comment, but I'm pretty excited !
I'm in my one year with no poo,,i'm just using calamansi or calamondin(philippines' lime) it doesn't smell like apple cider vinegar(i can't stand it to my hair but im using acv as my facial wash/toner everyday),,it smoothens my hair and decreases my grey hairs,,makes my hair black and shiny(also has volumes),,it's so healthy and not oily at all✌🏼
To smooth out frizzies I use coconut oil, pure, tiny bit rubbed into my palms, then onto my hair, ends etc.
I tried this method for around 6 months, but my hair was always extremely greasy at the roots and like straw at the ends. I couldn't even brush it in the end, because the grease and build-up made it bunch up. Maybe it was because I have a lot of hair, but who knows. Now I condition and wash my hair once a week and have no problems.
The water is a thing, too depending where you live! Especially in a big city it really can't harm to wash it once in a while. She lives among trees, so she probably doesn't have much city dirt and dust.
Hi Hannah, how do you deal with exercizing and getting sweaty and washing your hair once a week?
I just started it. It's incredible. My hair has just the right balance. Never feels too oily or too dry. No poo actually makes sense when you think about it. Shampoo strips the oil out, conditioner puts it back in.
Wow....I spend so much money on organic non gmo vegan shampoo derived from plants and you are telling me I really don't need to go the conventional route? I am going to have to try this! I could definitely save money and if my hair looks healthy like yours, then why not??? Also, you're a vegan and your hair is another indication of how healthy you are! I know when I eat all raw, my skin is at its best! Thank you for sharing! ♡ ya Hannah!!! xxx
Great video! I stopped washing mine 6 months ago. I use Castile once a week. I'll try this stuff. Also love arrowroot. I put it in an old spice shaker and use a kabuki brush and put it on my hair. Thanks again!
I tried the no-poo method for awhile but I think it contributed to my hairloss. I'm not balding or anything crazy but I'm a 26 year old male and I'm predisposed to a receding hairline and I recently learned this is caused by DHT, which is a hormone that can build up on the scalp if you don't wash it enough. I think guys should be wary of the no-pop, but I'm happy it's working for you Hannah, your hair looks great as always~!
I workout everyday, how could I do this if it gets all sweaty and smells bad?
I haven't washed my hair with shampoo for four years but I do use a conditioner because my hair is naturally very dry so without conditioner I couldn't manage my hair.I just use water to clean my scalp and never get dandruff or build up so it works for me.You can make homemade conditioners with coconut milk,coconut oil,almond oil,olive oil ect for dry hair it leaves it really moisterised it can be expensive though not sure about naturally oily hair though.My hair is at its most healthiest it grows super fast now and is in much better shape overall.
Hi, thanks for the video. I stopped washing my hair about 2 years ago due to allergies on my scalp and face caused by shampoo and conditioner. After a lot of research I tried Moroccan clay ghassoul, and I'm not looking back. I have Spanish long curly hair and it's amazing how clean, shiny and moisturised my hair looks. As you only need a tablespoon it last forever. The ends don't split as often as before. so happy to find out these natural options x
The no poo method is not for everyone, especially using ACV ACV is alkalizing , our skin has a Acid Mantle its a fine slightly acidic film that acts as a barrier to bacteriaIf that gets disrupted bacteria overgrowth can ocure as known a sabaceous dermatitis....not pretty And also cause inflamed sebaceous glands ...pimples on your head :(Our skin likes a PH of around 4.5-6.2 slightly acid Same for our face if you want clear skin ACV seems to work as a ocasional rinse to clarify, if your hair feels striped fix the PH issue And a nother way that I found works well is CO washing ...using only a light non silicone organic Conditione to cleanse No Shampoo
Last year for months I didn't use any products. I just would wash my hair with warm water and I'd massage my scalp then comb my hair under the water for a bit. Every morning I'd blow dry ny roots a little to refresh it, and every night I would do that scritch and preen thing where you massage your hair to get the oils going, then comb it through for awhile. I'd wash like once a week. I didn't find it overly oily really. Then after a bit I went a few months using a mixture of rye flour and water. Now I use vegan shampoo and conditioners, but still just once a week or so. All three ways seem pretty alright. I just like how easier it is with the products. Lol Plus it's so weird actually smelling your natural hair smell. I started buying essential oils to brush a few drops in.
isn't the salt in your sea spray going to negatively impact the trees around your house?
I think using ACV instead of just water is a good idea. It cleans better than just water, plus it closes the hair cuticle and makes your hair shinier and smoother. And from what I know the scalp likes a more acidic environment, so using ACV probably helps to prevent itchiness etc. I only use it as a rinse after shampooing (instead of conditioner), but it helps a lot with scalp itchiness and makes my hair softer and easier to detangle.
Oh Hannah, I forgot to mention. If you ever find ACV doesn't do the trick and you need a more powerful cleaning agent, you can use the liquid from boiled soap nuts to wash your hair. It does a great job and leaves your hair super soft :)
And P.S. If you use the sea salt spray won't that be a problem for your plants when you rinse it out of your hair?
What about tangles with this ACV method? I cant get a brush through my hair without conditioner
It's great for tangles, I have the same problem :)
Great video Hannah! I stopped washing my hair November of 2014. The first 8 weeks I was a greasy mess!! It wasn't pretty but it slowed down and normalized. It was very seldom that I would even get it wet. Everyday I would brush from roots to tips really good...this would spread my natural oil through the hair. I couldn't believe how awesome my hair looked and felt...it was so soft and it didn't smell. After a year and a half, it got more difficult to brush the oil through my hair so now I have an organic shampoo that I only use once every few months. Also, I have naturally curly hair and all that brushing would brush out my curls...so now if I feel like being curly for a couple of days I will wet it and let it air dry. I find myself doing this more often the last couple of months. Right now it has been 3 weeks since I wet it...and it feels and looks great! I totally encourage you to keep going with your new hair routine...you won't regret it. Keep up the good work on the videos...I love watching! Candi
i did the acv..and i would not recomend it. you and i have similar hair type, so im just going to say what happened to me. i tried on two different efforts, both lasting about 3 months (the second time was kind of a "maybe i didnt do it right. ill try again" effort), and both times my hair was damaged from it. it was brittle and super frizzy and just not pleasant. there was really no oil to my hair either. and those results showed themselves after a week and half to 2 weeks. upon further research i realized that acv was too acidic for my hair to handle.
now if you feel this is working for you, great! but i would recommend keeping a close eye on any changes. i ended up needing to chop off a good 4 inches after my little experiment ended the second time.
I do the No poo method but I wash my hair with a certain type of conditioner (without silicon or mineral oil) and rinse it with apple cider vinegar because my hair is curly, so is naturally dry!!! I also use coconut oil or olive oil as a leave in!!
I've read that baking soda is used to replace the shampoo and apple cider vinegar conditioner. It's been a week and my hair is super soft and it feels thicker.
I've been washing my hair every third day for over a year with baking soda water. Sometimes I use deep condioner, but lately I've been doing the ACV rinse to condition. My hair has so many split ends it's ridiculous! Even after a haircut! I think the baking soda is too harsh. I only massage it in my scalp and I don't use heat products or hair styling products at all. I just have really fine, fragile hair. I'll try the ACV spray because my hair is angry! Thanks Hannah!
i use about 1/5 the amount of vinegar to water. you may find that over time using so much vinegar can be drying you might want to try using less.
I tried that once. my hair did smell like apple cider vinegar every time it got wet, or I sweated. it also made my hair stringy and stiff, and hard to brush. so I gave up after 2 1/2 weeks. my hair only gets washed twice a week with regular shampoo anyway. good luck on going fully off of the vinegar.
i used only conditioner for a few years. Then I swapped to only washing with water. Right away I noticed how lovely and wavy my hair is. IT had always been dry and frizzy before. I wash my hir in the bath with water only once or twice a week. If I go in chlorine i wash it with conditioner. but that is rare.
I stopped shampooing my hair completely and I don't use apple cider vinegar either and so far it's been great! My hair is so much softer from the natural oils and has only been somewhat greasy but not bad at all. I've only done this for a month so far but it's amazing! I hope it stays this amazing after all I think if you leave the body to be natural it'll take care of things all on its own :)
I went no-poo for like 4 years, and that's when my hair started to fall out. I could never really get rid of that initial oil buildup and would have to brush it out all the time. In addition to this, my scalp would have this gunk on it (which I assumed was dead skin cells from normal skin shedding mixed with the sebum scalp/hair oil) which was also very hard to get rid of. I tried conditioner only method, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, water only, and literally nothing worked. At the time I was living in Japan, which is a very humid climate, and my hair at the time was thick with fine hairs and curly. I just don't think it'll ever work for me, but I know a lot of people do it and I'm so envious!
I can't seem to go more than two days without washing my hair, the oil makes my scalp super itchy!!
mine is pretty dry,i wash it once a week
Banana Wisdom look up how to scritch and preen. it helps so much
yep this is the solution(scritch and preen)! I have thick long hair, it is definitely an arm work out, but worth it for truly healthy hair and scalp.
Use a clarifying shampoo 😊
I did this for bit and it seemed to go ok for me. But I wasn't sure in how I was doing it so I searched online for more tips and came across a few blogs of people who did this for like 2+ years and their hair was so damaged they had to cut 4 to 8 inches off (it differed per blog). Kinda scared me a bit because I've been working hard on getting my hair where I'd like it. So basically, just a long comment to say definitely watch your hair closely over the long term. Its looking lovely now tho!
I haven't used shampoo since end of 2014. my hair has never been so soft, healthy and shiny. I use rye flour and rinse with diluted ACV. the first 2 weeks I needed to do this every few days, then 1 a week (which was my usual). after 2 years now I go around 3 weeks between washes. I condition the ends with a bit of coconut oil and have fun playing with different essential oils for the nice fragrance :) I have used once or twice some hairspray and it came out okay.
I've been loving no-poo as well! Around 2 months ago I ditched shampoo and conditioner for a herbal no-poo formula made of fenugreek seed powder, amla powder, and yucca root powder mixed with some water. I initially LOVED the results but my hair started feeling "sticky" recently, so I stopped using anything whatsoever. It's been about a week and a half with only rinsing my hair pretty regularly with water, and the oiliness is definitely going down. I have heard of people using baking soda with the apple cider vinegar as well. I might try the apple cider vinegar and see how that works! Thanks so much for this video-- I've been looking for a clear, helpful, and quick explanation like this for a while now!
I suggest you to look for "Sidr", is an herbal powder that you can use for wash your hair, is the best for blonde hairs because is not going to change your hair color. Some kind of herbs can give you a darker tone, like the one I use, called shikakai, but I have black hair so for me is not a big deal, but your blonde is amazing so that will be perfect for you. For keep your hair in a good healt without using any products I also reccomend you to have a try with another one call "Methi", is a powder that nourish your hair and is like the best thing ever! Hope it helps, can't wait to see the Tiny House!
If you can't use products with salt why would you use a salt hair spray?
i do this too! but i use the baking powder method as shampoo. and instead of a 50:50 ratio of water and ACV, i put one tablespoon. maybe i should up the ACV now! THANKS HANNAH !!
The timing of this video could not have been more perfect. I've been using BS and ACV on my hair for a couple years maybe. Can go up to a week without washing it, but I think the baking soda leaves a buildup over time. Thanks for the encouragement to try giving it up.
I use eco styler gel every other day and it still works for me. I wash with apple cider vinegar too. it's really the only natural thing that gets my scalp clean
try a solution of baking soda, rather than the vinegar. you don't want the acid on your scalp except for acute cases of dandruff. about 1/4 cup baking soda per gallon of water
you and Derek should look into getting a wide tooth wooden comb for combing your hair when its dry (I wouldn't use it for detangling) its mainly just for scalp health and helping to distribute the natural oil the hair produces. apple cider vinegar is really good though it will pretty much eliminate any dandruff or itch and give the hair a really nice shine especially if you rinse it with cold water :) when you massage your scalp when you rinse your hair don't use your nails just use the pads of your fingers it stops you from scratching the scalp just had to say that haha
I am not in the same living situation as you, but I do understand the harsh salts and chemicals in traditional shampoo/conditioner and a lot of people just wash with conditioner now. I tried it, and it cleans my hair just as nicely as if I wash with shampoo. Now if conditioner cleans your hair just as nice, why would you wash with shampoo AND THEN conditioner on top of it. That's what is really drying out people's hair. I would either just use conditioner, or what I do now is I have a really healthy holistic soap with lot's of natural oils in it that I use to wash my body and face. If my hair isn't oily enough(like I just washed it a day or two ago), then I just put a teaspoon of coconut oil in a large glass that I keep by my shower, fill it up with warm water(to melt the oil) and slowly pour it all over my hair and let is sit while I clean my body/face, THEN I use the soap to wash it and it comes out beautiful, not too dry, but still gets a nice clean! Hair is different and people have to try different things.
But anyone who read all of my comment, long story short, DO NOT wash with BOTH shampoo and conditioner, I would try just one and definitely don't wash your hair every single day!
I know it's not vegan but using a boars hair bristle brush may help. It brings down the excess oils from the scalp all the way down to the ends to help condition and make your hair look less greasy at the roots. I haven't looked into it but maybe there's a vegan brush similar to it 😊
Hey, just reminding people that too much oil and build up can lead to painful in grown hair. It's best to at least use something every once in a while like your vinegar for a good balance. Hope this helps prevent any ingrown bumps from forming for people.
Chenoa Steiner I know my scalp hurts when my hair is especially oily! it's such a strange sort of pain..
I use Alaffia peppermint african black soap. A 32 oz bottle is less than $10 on ThriveMarket.com. I just use that all over. Smells soooo good! Fair Trade as well. I might try the oils and apple cider vinegar though to see how I fare this winter as I will be pinching pennies.
I've always had dry frizzy hair and I experimented in the past with no poo methods like baking soda and vinegar rinses but it didn't really work out at the time. A couple months ago I stopped using all soap because of eczema issues including shampoo since my scalp is one of my worst spots and honestly, I was surprised at how...nothing really changed? Like my hair didn't get awful because I stopped using shampoo and conditioner. It's still somewhat dry because of pre dyed ends I still have and my eczema but I just use a little argan oil and everything is good. I just rinse with water. It's just unnecessary to use harsh detergents when I don't put product in my hair. I don't see myself ever going back to a shampoo conditioner system. Honestly try it! You might be surprised. But like hannah said, I don't think it would work if you use hairspray and other styling products.
I'm considering going back to the no poo method and have been contemplating it for the past few days. Spent the past two days researching and I pop along to your channel and you've done a video on it! Perfect timing for me as it's helped me make my decision. Thank you Hannah, superb video as always :) xx
Try rye flour. Mix with water to a paste and use like you would use shampoo. I have very similar hair to yours i think, and it works amazingly well (i tried all the other things like ACV as well).
I have been using the Apple Cider Vinegar rinse for about a month now. I 💜 my hair so much better then when I was using shampoo and conditioner. Thank you talking about and recommending this method. 😊💜
My hair it's mixed tight curls so I don't wash it to often ,I actually don't put a lot of products on it I stopped curling (waves that kind of stuff) straighten it...so I think I'm going to definitely try this method I agree with you on not wasting so many plastic/ glass bottles 😍😜😎😙
Hmm wouldn't your hair develop a smell after a while of not really washing your hair?
I started two weeks ago, due to hair falling out, I use diluted baking soda and diluted acv, twice a week water the rest of the time
I'm so glad you made a video about this! I didn't wash my hair for 6 months, and it felt great!!
What about tangles with this ACV method?
What if you have naturally curly hair? It's so hard not to use any products in it?
I used to do no poo but my hair would get so oily and my hair would get so dry, I did it for an entire year and it never got better, my hair was also a super weird sticky texture. Now I use a a vegan all natural shampoo once a week or less and it feels way better...
