Can you recommend a body wash or moisturizer? I searched your site, but couldn’t find anything on body washes and I’m hesitant to smear yogurt and sage all over myself. I have EXTREMELY dry skin. Doctors kept putting me on steroid creams until I found Arbonne skin care and got off the ridiculous (but effective) steroids. Arbonne is SO expensive and after reading some of your other posts, I think they use detergent agents . . . eh, I’d like to be as chemical-free as possible as cheaply as possible. Thanks!

I just stumbled across your blog, and i am sooooooooooo happy! (thank you, thank you) I’m going to start today, with the no shampoo process. When i get to that point, what can i use for the soap-based shampoo? Something like Dr Bronners?
Again:thanks! -Tracey

Omigosh–and with long hair? Mine is ridiculously long, which my guys all love–I have four sons and my hubby. My scalp has really been suffering from the shampoo/conditioner regime, and I’ve been too scared to try something different on account of the length.

This? Will be my New Year’s resolution: to be shampoo-free by Easter. (Or thereabouts.) Thanks!

Hi,

Just found your blog and loving it already, I’ve been making my own products for a while now, on and off, made a good herbal shampoo the other week, just needs a little tweaking I have also been growing and using herbs as long as I can remember – this looks like a fabulous blog and I’m going to keep looking around. You’ve all got some great tips and advice – I will get mine up soon – but wanna keep looking around and reading this blog first

Terry.

You ladies are AMAZING! I have thyroid cancer which destroyed my hair and I’ve been using Pantene Pro-V to try and heal my hair but all I’ve noticed is that it’s gotten greasy. Everytime I got to the salon they recommend and conditioning treatment which would just be putting more crap on my hair. I can’t wait to try baking soad and ACV, I never would have thought of using those on my hair. We recently started going green so hopefully I can get my hubby on board with this too. Thanks again!

I would love to use herbal products because this will be helpful to get healthy hair and clean scalp. This is good for the hair. Thanks for the sharing.

Hi all–I admit I’ve only read about half of the comments, but I wanted to put my two cents in about the chlorine-in-hair issue.

I swim regularly, and have for years, in chlorine pools (Lake Michigan ain’t too friendly for 9 months out of the year). One way to minimize the amount of chlorine water your hair absorbs is to wet it down with tap water first (or filtered, I suppose, though I’ve never bothered to do that) and wear a swimming cap. You may also dab some moisturizer that won’t run (maybe flaxseed gel?) on the ends and around your hairline (especially in the back) in order to prevent breakage from the latex or silicone in your cap and to provide another layer of defense against the chlorine water. (Don’t overdo it, though, since that might cause your cap to slide off.)

Happy swimming, happy “shampoo”ing!
