I just tried this for the first time last night and I’m absolutely amazed! My hair is so soft and light feeling. My comb slid straight through my hair like a hot knife through butter, even without using any conditioner or detangler, and it still feels super soft and smooth! I’ve been raving about it to my mom all day and she’s just as amazed as I am at the condition of my hair after just one washing. Even after having my hair down all day, it’s still super easy to brush. I plan on giving it a month to see if I actually like it, but I’m already planning on getting my nieces started with it.

In reply to Brenda. It should, but I think it takes more troubleshooting. A method I've heard that works well for curly hair is the conditioner only method. You should google it, I hear it is really great.

Does this work well with curly hair?

In reply to Sarah. It really doesn't go bad. I use a bottle that I get about 3 washes at a time from, so I refill it about every 3 showers. But I know some people mix big batches and pour it into their bathroom bottle instead of measuring out the baking soda each time.

Do you recommend mixing up the baking soda & water right before each use? Or could you make a larger batch?

In reply to M. Hi M. Thanks for letting me know. I read a ton of accounts about no poo before deciding to switch, and I've been using baking soda for almost 2 years now. I understand your concern with the ph but that is why you use the apple cider vinegar rinse afterwards. I started no poo because I had been losing a lot of hair as a medication side effect, and my hair is much thicker and healthier now than it was on shampoo. I am completely happy with my no-poo routine and my hair is probably the healthiest it has ever been.

Before using baking soda as a cosmetic you may wish to read this bloggers account of her long term experience of NoPoo.
It is based on how the PH levels of the recipe affect the hair cells.
At the end of the post are two green alternative ‘poos’ to try (Homemade rye flour shampoo (works much better than baking soda)! Coconut milk + aloe vera shampoo (for dry hair) instead.

Please read the blog Susie, just in case…I’m sure you love your hair as much as I do mine and would hate for you to regret Baking Soda cosmetics in the future :)

I am finally going to do this. I am so sick of trying endless shampoos with tons of chemicals or alcohol that make my hair fall out. Your hair looks beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing.
