Officially converted to being anti-shampoo and conditioner

Ages ago, I blogged about trying out a routine of washing my hair using only baking soda, apple cider vinegar, jojoba oil and water.  I knew right away that I liked it, my hair was softer and more manageable, it smelled good for longer and my scalp stopped itching after 2 days without a wash.  The real test of anything is in reverting back to old habits to see if they're preferable.  Last month I was traveling and therefore didn't use my normal routine.  I had to use regular (though organic and natural) shampoo and conditioner.

The results?

My hair went back to being frizzy and annoying.  I wanted to wash it more often, it smelled funny and I was itchy.

Last night, I was back in my own home and able to use my baking soda/apple cider vinegar recipes.

YAY!  My hair is pretty again :)  If you aren't yet on the natural movement...hop on board, it smells good here.
