A lot of people are opting out of regularly using shampoo to clean their hair for a variety of different reasons. Some individuals cite the cruel testing practices of major shampoo companies and the suffering that they put animals through during the research phases of creating new shampoos for customers. Other individuals simply say that refraining from using shampoo has help to make their hair lighter, healthier and easier to style since your hair no longer has to battle the artificial fragrances and colors that don’t always wash out; also, it’s a lot cheaper.
Going shampoo-less doesn’t mean not washing your hair at all, there are some time-tested, home-made hair washing options that work just as well as using shampoo to get your tresses clean. Two of the best options that a lot of anti-shampoo people have discovered is baking soda and vinegar. Make a paste with a few tablespoons of baking soda and some water and work into wet hair, starting with the roots and massaging to the length of your hair. Once the baking soda paste is rinsed out of your hair, simply squirt a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water into your hair and work throughout before rinsing again. Some people who can’t stand the smell of vinegar in their hair opt to use lemon juice and have similar results.
Try going shampoo-less for a month and you will be able to feel the difference in your hair. For individuals struggling with this simple routine there are a lot of other natural, home hair cleaning suggestions that you can try out instead of going back to shampoo.
