shampoo alternatives

Interested in an all-natural shampoo?  Looking to avoid harsh, toxic chemicals?  You've come to the right spot!  There are numerous ways to cleanse your hair and scalp without using store bought shampoo.

There are many brands devoted to making natural body products such as Burt's Bees, Jason, Dr. Bronner's etc.  While this is great, it can be pricy!

Here are a few alternatives I have tried and they work!

Put about 1 tablespoon of baking soda in the palm of your hair and make a paste with water.  Rub it through your hair, massaging your scalp.  Let sit for a minute and rinse well.  Use about 1 tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar in a cup with about 1 cup of water.  Pour on head and let it sit for a minute.  Rinse well.  Your hair will be soft, smooth and clean!  Once your hair is dry, the vinegar odor is gone.

Eggs!  The other night I took a shower and instead of washing my hair with baking soda I used an egg.  Crack 1-2 eggs in a bowl and whip until frothy.  Wet your hair and pour eggs over head.  Massage into hair and scalp.  Let sit for a minute and rinse thouroghly with cool water.  Follow with an apple-cider vinegar rinse as described above.  Hair will be soft, smooth and clean!

There are many other natural remedies for shampooing and conditioning your hair.  Have fun with it and experiment until you have found something that works for you and feel good about ridding yourself of chemicals!
