No Shampoo – Baking Soda & Vinegar

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

On January 1st I decided I wasn’t going to wash my hair with shampoo/conditioner anymore. The date I decided is merely a coincidence – this isn’t a new year resolution! I had been pondering it for some time and decided to take the dive.

For a long while I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do it because I have dyed hair (finding this hard to let go of) but from reading it seems perfectly ok. I am seriously considering growing out my dye now because I want to get rid of all chemicals, but next week am first going to try out some henna. Curiosity more than anything as I haven’t done henna properly and now I know I must try :) .

Anyway this is how my hair looks after baking soda/vinegar. Its the second time in the past 2 weeks I have used it and haven’t used anything else.

I am really happy with it – it feels lovely, although getting used to no smell is weird. Also the first time I used baking soda and vinegar it felt greasy but didn’t look it. This time it feels fantastic!

Hopefully I will not have to use this for very long – but once a week is all I am going to do for now.

I will update this week with the henna experiment :)

    i have also tried this and love it. i am curious, i can’t find any reviews for your fat freedom diet program. i really am looking for a lifestyle change, but without some sort of idea what this “diet” even entails, i am a little leary. some insight please.

    Hi Kessa,

    I am loving my hair! Looking forward to hennaing it tomorrow but a little apprehensive. Do you not shampoo now or did you just try the baking soda/vinegar?

    As for my diet program – it is about lifestyle changes as opposed to just diet and exercise. The diet entaiils quite a dramatic change in terms of what you are consuming, not only for losing weight but also for health and well being. The diet won’t numb you like a conventional diet and this can be the hardest part of changing eating habits. I think some people would need to change one aspect at a time (you will still reap benefits this way and lose weight, but it just won’t be as dramatic as completely changing). I think thats an excellent way to take it on board just because then you can really have a go at changing habits and at a pace that is suitable to you when you are ready – which is key in any lifestyle change.

    Some people of course are able to change their diet completely without a problem.

    This diet basically strips down our comforts – you won’t get emotional comfort from this diet only nutritional. This diet is also about self-awareness.

    As for the other aspects they should be quite easily incorporated into the day for most people.|

    I don’t know if that answers your questions but if you have anymore feel free to email me at kelly@yourfatfreedom.com.
