Ok, so today I tried the "no-poo" baking soda shampoo and apple cider vinegar rinse - it worked great! I have very thick hair that tends to get really tangled sometimes, and hard to brush out after I wash it.
While in the shower I had my doubts because my hair felt kind of fuzzy and dry, but once I got out it was actually very soft and easier to brush, than it had been with my Redken "all-soft" shampoo and conditioner and an additional leave in product that I use to make it less fuzzy. My only complaint is that for the first 1/2 hour I felt like a salad bowl(the apple cider vinegar) because of the smell, but then the smell evaporated and now I'm fine.
I love the feeling of washing with the oatmeal bag, it exfoliates and cleans very gently and leaves your skins ph-level where it is supposed to be. My skin loves the coconut oil and so does one of our cats! So no leaving it out...
A word about coconut oil; It is usually solid at room temperature so put a small amount in your hands and let it melt before you put it on your skin. It also goes rancid relatively fast -so I usually buy a large can -put it in the fridge and take out a small amount that I put in a smaller recycled glass jar, such as a baby food one, and keep it in the bathroom so that it isn't as hard, that way it seems to last better and if it goes rancid I don't have to throw the whole big jar out but just the small one in the bathroom. It is very easy to tell if it is rancid - just smell it - and if it smells kind of sour or bad -it is. Also watch the date on the jar when you buy it - it is often a year out or more, which is what you want, and not the coconut jar that has the due date yesterday or tomorrow.
Later today I am going to make my own laundry soap and wash my clothes in it - I will let you know how it goes!
Hejdå till imorgon.
