The no-poo method

The "No-poo" method

My hair is short, dry, unmanageable and always feels as if I have fried it multiple times over with a hair straightener, even though I have only used a hair straightener about 3 times my whole life and I never use any heating tool's or styling products, It also seems that anytime I try and grow it out past 4-5" the end of my hair looks HORRIBLE! So we have tried a lot of different things (hot oil treatments, leave-in conditioner, etc.) and spent a lot of money trying to find something to make my hair softer and more manageable, and maybe let me grow out my hair past 5" none of the many things we tried helped at all.

So the other day I was researching things that are good for your hair and came across this web page that said the "no-poo" method I was intrigued and clicked on it this is what a came upon:

The  point of the "no-poo" method was that you use no shampoo (hence the No-poo) that not only cleans your hair but also strips it of the natural vitamin's and oil's which of course is bad, Instead you were supposed to use  a homemade formula that consist of ingredients that most people have around the house. so I tried it up to today I have needless to say it had worked! Other than all the other things we have tried in the past we finally found something so, if your hair is anything like mine, you want to save money, or just want nicer hair read the recipe below hope you enjoy!

No-poo "shampoo" ingredients:
baking soda
Funnel or piece of paper
water (just regular tap water will work fine)
and a bottle to put the "no-poo" in ( i just used a hair dye bottle from sally beauty supply for about a dollar)

   
1. Fill empty clean bottle about all the way full with the water

2. Put 2 table spoons of baking soda for every 8 ounces of water into the bottle and shake it up

3. when you go to wash your hair grab your "No-poo" and squirt a decent amount into your hair massage the scalp for about a minute and rinse out after a couple of uses your hair should be more manageable sleek and smooth if you have any question's or comments please comment below

No-poo "conditioner":
First you will need:
Apple cider vinegar
Honey
Water
And another bottle

1. Fill empty clean bottle about half way e.g. if you have and 8 ounce bottle fill 3 1/2 ounces with  apple cider vinegar so when you put the rest of the ingredients in your bottle won't over flow like mine did the time

2. Fill the remainder of the bottle with the water leaving a little space at the top.

3. Put about 1 teaspoon of honey for every 8 ounce's of  vinegar/water mixture and shake until the honey dissolves

4. If you desire you can put a couple drops of  essential oil so the vinegar doesn't smell as bad (the smell of the vinegar will not linger once you have rinsed out the no-poo conditioner)

5. Next time you have a shower after you use the no-poo shampoo (above) just squirt some of this rinse you made in your hair, make sure its covered fully and then rinse right out your hair should not smell like vinegar anymore if it does its not rinsed out all the way.

Thanks hope you enjoy!
