I swear by them-keeps my hair clean and soft and very pretty. I found them when I was in college, and I won't use anything else. They bring your hair back to it's natural ph, cuts the number of times you need to wash it in half, and the each bar lasts for a crazy long time.

I have recently discovered the many uses of cocnut oil. It is amazing what you can do with this thing. It can be expensive though. You can get some extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil and ruj a little bit through your hair and voile' instant moisturizer. A little it goes a long way. oh I have a suggestion for anyone who has dry hair from going no-poo. I have recently discovered the many uses of cocnut oil.

It's because you're not stripping out all your natural oils every day, so they build back up and, well, feel a bit oily! But it's a good thing. If it looks *greasy* it may be time to wash, but if it just feels a bit . . . like, 'thick' in there? . . . that should be fine. Hope that makes sense! =) @ jamie – Yes, totally normal.

I ask because I also use products, but since I use them daily I don't necessarily worry about getting them all out. I do a thorough water wash in the morning and then style as usual. I can use less product this way, as any residual will help my hair do what I want, haha. I definitely find that the longer I go after a bs wash, the easier my hair is to style. But if you feel like that's weird or something (totally valid!) and you're determined to get all the product out each day, you may have to use bs daily. Not ideal, but it's definitely better than conventional shampoo! @ jamie – Do you feel like you need to get it *all* out every day?

I have been cutting back on shampoo/conditioner for quite a while now so this has been an easy transition. My hair looks and feels much better now!!! I have never been a "hair" person, I shower, wash, comb and go without using any styling products, blow dryers etc. Usually running out the door with damp hair allowing the sun and wind to do my drying and styling. Love it!!!!! Been on the no-poo program for almost 2 weeks now. I have been cutting back on shampoo/conditioner for quite a while now so this has been an easy transition.

Thanks for the response. I gave it a go the night I posted that comment and have rinsed my hair with water once since then. It's now time for another proper washing. I'm glad to be giving the method another try! No worries. Thanks for the response. I gave it a go the night I posted that comment and have rinsed my hair with water once since then.
