I also think it might have to do with the relatively hard water we’ve got here. Will try boiling it next time I no-poo.

Yes, that might be it – I only no-poo once a week. Thanks a lot!

How often are you no-pooing? If I go more than 6 or 7 days, my hair gets very limp. You might need to do the bs more often.

Help! Am in week 7 now and my no-poo project seems to be stagnating, sort of. My hair just feels limp and sticky most of the time. :(
Any suggestions? Brushing my hair more often maybe? Haven’t really done that very much.

Maybe you could also try using lemon juice instead of vinegar.

I haven’t tried it personally but know people do add essential oils to mask the vinegar smell, and they’ve said it works out well. Definitely worth a try!

I’m kind of behind on the whole no poo thing as we just discovered it, but I’ve been using Dr. Bronner’s on my hair, so just made the little switcheroonie…if you will…to no poo. Anyway, started using it on my 5.5 year old daughter and she loves the way her hair feels, but HATES the smell of the vinegar in the bath. Do you have any ideas for decreasing the smell or if I add essential oil would that help? or be not so good? Thanks so much. I’ve really been enjoying your site!

I’ve been doing no-poo for nine months, and my hair has never looked better. I only use the vinegar in my son’s hair once every one or two weeks, and his hair is perfect. I put the vinegar in a lavender water mix that I make myself. 7 cups water, 1/2 cup vodka or witchhazel astringent, 40 drops lavender EO, and 10 drops tea tree EO. Let “steep” for two weeks. Just put it in a container and forget about it for two weeks. Old vinegar bottles work great for this. Then, I add 1 to 2 tblsp ACV to every 8 oz of lavender water. The lavender enriches and stregnthens the hair, and tea tree oil is great for dry skin and lice prevention. Also, they are both antimicrobial. I also use this mix as an all purpose cleaner, “Fbreeze”, window cleaner, facial toner, pour some in the bath water, hand sanitizer, and more. Oh yeah, I use the baking soda once every one or two weeks. Sometimes I make the paste, and sometimes I just sprinkle it on my fingers and scrub it into my scalp. I also use BS to wash my, brush my teeth, exfoliate my skin, and for cleaning of course. One more thing. Once a month, I make a paste from sugar and lemon juice, and I use it to scrub my scalp, and body, and face… But don’t do that if you don’t want highlights.
