No-Poo

Everyone who knows me knows that I am always trying new things, especially things that are "green"--remember the short lived vegan stint after Earth Day at LSU? ;0)

Anyhow, one of my friends told me that she was starting to not use shampoo because she wanted to reduce her impact by releasing fewer toxins (that are in shampoo) into the water and using fewer plastic bottles per year.

Whoa, hippie, but you need shampoo! I know, my first thought as well.

I did a little more research on it. After learning that you actually do wash your hair, just with more natural things like baking soda, lemon juice, a conditioner and brown sugar mix, etc., I decided to give it a go. Today is day 7 and my hair looks great. It is not greasy at all and smells and looks better than it "normally" does. It is starting to curl a little more and is really easy to manage.
Here is a pic of my hair after day 4ish holding RC while she is peeing on the potty.

Here is one blog that tells you a bit more about it if interested. http://www.naturemoms.com/no-shampoo-alternative.html

I will keep you posted on how things continue to progress. . .
