No Shampoo, One Month Later
Before |
Grace, a friend that hadn’t seen me in a while, was surprised at how my hair looked. She expected it to be flatter and sort of greasy looking, but it’s not. She described it as fuller and a little ‘fly away’, but said it looks good. I do think my hair is a darker color, which is okay, even though I liked the lighter blond look. Before long, the gray will take over anyway. I am still using the same formulas: 1 tablespoon of baking soda per 2 cups of water for shampoo, and 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 2 cups of water for conditioner/detangler. I did try the vinegar rinse on my scalp once, but it made me itch more. The only place I use the vinegar rinse is from the neck down to correct the pH of my hair.
One week later |
Frank, the one that matters most, thinks my hair looks just fine, and so do I. Not only did I quit exposing my head to a menagerie of chemicals from the shampoo and conditioner, I have not had to use the medicine for psoriasis on my head one time in this last month. That has not been possible for about 20 years. 20 years. That is a long time. My scalp does still itch a little, but nothing like it did when I was still using shampoo and conditioner four days a week, and selenium sulfide shampoo and a prescription medication twice a week. For me, this is just amazing, and I will never go back. Another benefit from this new regimen is the savings. The baking soda and vinegar I use cost pennies compared to the other four products I was using.

My daughter has been doing this for 3 months and her hair looks great.
I had not heard of this until recently, and now I plan to follow this routine permanently. Thanks for sharing.

The shampoo industry is not required and should be retired. Haven’t used shampoo for over two years. My hair is normal looking. When I did use shampoo, if I missed a day my hair would look oily. Took about three months to regain the natural oil balance…
Thank you for letting me know. It’s only been one month and I am very happy with the results. I am glad I learned about this option to commercial chemicals.

Apple Cider Vinegar is not as astringent as most believe… to the contrary, it leaves a light trace of oil on the skin after application. More importantly, ACV is a power anti-fungal. When the scalp is highly infested with fungal parasites it causes hair to fall out, thin out, grow oddly etc. If the scalp is doused with a powerful antifungal, such as ACV, it causes a massive die-off of the fungal parasites and a subsequent itching that is rather intense, but limited to the relatively short time it takes to kill off the colony of parasites.
Incidentally, the creator of Heads and Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo made his substantial fortune by simply adding an antifungal to shampoo.
I did not know this. The reason I am using the apple cider vinegar as a rinse is to neutralize the pH. There are quite a few different options out there that others are using. This sounded like a simple solution for me. Thank you for this information, I appreciate it.

Most people do not have scalp problems at all and keep using dandruff shampoo. These shampoos take the oil from the scalp and leave a dry itchy skin. This condition makes one think that they need more dandruff shampoo. If you’re using this type of shampoo, STOP. In a few days the natural oil in your skin will replace flaky and itchy skin.
This is good advice. When I was using the selenium sulfide, I only used it one or two days a week. It is interesting how products are developed so that people have to keep buying more and more. Thanks for the information.
