The main reason not to use shampoo is your health. There are so many chemicals and detergents in shampoo and other bath and body products. Your skin is the largest organ on your body. Whatever you place on your skin gets absorbed into your body, into your bloodstream and into your organs, as has been proven by many studies. Essentially, whatever is toxic to put in your mouth, is toxic for your skin as well.
As I was looking for a more natural shampoo online, I found a very popular shampoo called “no ‘poo”. It took me a little while to figure why it was called that! No Shampoo, no ‘poo. It is basically cleaning your hair with baking soda and apple cider vinegar. I only found many blogs about other people’s opinion about using it but kept on searching until I found the instructions on how much to use and how to use it. Here is the link to that blog.
It also explains why chemical shampoos are bad for you and the benefits of using baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Guess what I am washing my hair with tonight. Will keep you posted!
