the pledge: no shampoo or conditioner

I don't know about you, but I'm not a big fan of toxins. Multiple studies link a variety of toxins to all sorts of ailments and diseases. I'm not sure how much I believe each study, yet I'm not willing to take any chances. Our home is nearly toxin/chemical free. I'm sure we have some not-so-great stuff lurking, I just haven't identified it yet. Anyhow, you'll recall last week that I decided to purge my beauty regime of the toxic hair care products that I was using. Out went the shampoo and conditioner, in came the baking soda and vinegar.

If you’re participating in the pledge, you’ll be completing week one. However, this is week two for me, as I tested this for a week before sharing it with you. My hair is a bit oily in the crown area, which I’ve read is “normal” and will subside. I’ve only used the baking soda twice since last Friday, and have rinsed daily with the vinegar mixture. Not only is my hair is softer, fuller, and it much easier to manage. The humidity in our area has been very high the last week, yet my hair hasn’t been frizzy. The natural wave that I have is more noticeable.

Like others who’ve made the switch before me, I can say that my hair looks like I’ve just walked out of the salon. Seriously. And, I received more compliments on how beautiful my hair is than I have in ages! {Thank you, Strangers, for boosting my self-esteem just a bit.} Now more than ever, I’m looking forward to seeing the changes in my hair during the upcoming weeks!

Jennifer, author of Family Musings, joined the pledge last week. She let me know that she’s been shampoo/conditioner free for nearly two years! I am so inspired by her. You can read about her journey with baking soda and vinegar here.

There is still time to join us in the The Pledge: No Shampoo or Conditioner!
