Awesome!  Everyone's going to have something slightly different that works best for them, so I'm glad all of these great suggestions are being shared!

not sure. acv is just what i have in the house at the moment :)

i used castile soap for a bit but i really didn't like how my hair felt. it could be the water i shower with or something but i feel like the vinegar rinse is the holy grail for my hair :)

Thanks a bunch for all the advice!  Is apple cider vinegar better for your hair than plain white vinegar?

I have relatively dry hair and would unfortunately disagree with the coconut oil...makes my hair SUPER frizzy!  On the other hand, I have found that castile soap on my hair as shampoo dries my hair way LESS than any commercial (even natural) shampoo ever did.  I don't wash my hair every day, though (don't need to), and it works pretty well for me.

i went from using a "natural" shampoo to baking soda and and acv rinse once a week, but recently i've noticed that dries out my hair, so i've just doing the apple cider vinegar rinse almost daily and i really like the way my hair looks and feels :) not oily like when i use just water and not dry like when i use the baking soda. experiment!

castille soap on your bod isn't the worst thing, but after a few months on this lifestyle you probs won't smell so you don't really need to use the castille soap. i just dry brush and use an exfoliating mitt with water in the shower (i like to play outside and get dirty), and i use tate's miracle conditioner as a shaving cream :) you could probably use coconut oil or avocados as shaving cream too. like i said, experiment!

@stomycloud I use bi carb soda to wash my hair with great results. Its good for oily hair. Coconut oil (tiny bit) is good for dry hair. Good luck :)

I am trying to minimize my use of soaps and cosmetics.  I no longer use deoderant or make-up but I still use plain Castille soap for my body.  I have long hair and I was hoping to eliminate shampoo/conditioner.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi,

just joined this group. I haven't been wearing make up for over a decade now. I really only did use eye liner back then. I try not to use much soap or other cleansing "poisons". UNfortunately about five years ago i started dying my hair alöthough i never wanted to and couldn't wait to have my silver-grey hair... but then somebody said something about my hair that i had just had in mind that morning and off I went and died them. but now since my transistion to 100% raw (february) i stopped dying my hair... and i also don't need deodorant since I've been eating 100% raw. I tried washing my hair with this "dirt" especially for washing hair. and it really did a good job keeping my hair clean. but my hair got static - big time - so now I'm back to vegan products. I will still take my time and try out washing my hair only with water...
