Tell me more about your no 'poo adventure. Did you quit cold turkey or slowly cut back? Do you ever feel like your hair stinks? I really want to give it a shot, but anytime I go a couple days without washing my DH comments that my hair smells like BO (
) and I end up washing it.

Re: ** sinafey **
I totally love it. I "wash" by making a paste with about a tbsp of baking soda and a little water, rub it onto my scalp and then rinse thoroughly. Then I add a splash of apple cider vinegar (probably 2 tbsp or so?) to a cup of water and rinse it through my hair. I leave the ACV in for a few minutes before rinsing out. Once I'm out of the shower I put 4 drops of jojoba oil and a drop of lavender EO in my hands, rub them together, and then rub it through my hair to help with frizz.
My hair doesn't feel the same that it used to with shampoo and conditioner, but it definitely doesn't feel dirty or stink at all! I "wash" every 2-3 days depending on what I've been doing and rinse it on the days I don't wash. While I'd still never say I have good hair it's far, far better than it was and I'd tried every product under the sun. The vinegar smell goes away fast, I don't even notice it once I'm out of the shower. I've heard other people say that when their hair gets wet it smells like vinegar, but I've never had it happen.
ETA: I quit cold turkey. My hair looked kinda crappy for about a week (lots of headbands) but then it was fine. Decided to use some of my old argan oil deep conditioner a few weeks ago just for giggles and totally regretted it, my hair went right back to being dull and frizzy.
