Everyone keeps asking me what I wash my hair with, so I thought I'd put it on here.
I stopped using shampoo in Sept. Used some things that worked well for a bit of time, then my hair looked awful. I used vinegar infused with herbs, including soapwort, which worked for a while.
I finally started using borax followed by citric acid rinse, which seems to work quite well. I made some bar soap that is specifically for hair, full of great oils, I use that most of the time, and use the borax and citric acid sometimes.
What will work on your hair will definitely depend on what your water is like. I was travelling recently & I could feel the bar soap was just building up. I should have brought the borax and citric acid with me.
The borax cleans your hair, and detangles, and the citric acid will get any borax buildup out of your hair & is very good for your scalp.
I use liter size squeeze bottles. 1 tbsp. borax in water. And the other bottle has 1/2 tsp. citric acid in water.
I really like the bar soap I made, I'd be happy to do a class on this later in the summer if anyone is interested.
I no longer use any store bought products on my body at all. I make all my own toothpaste, & body lotions & sunscreen, etc.
