I cant wait to try this.. I have very oil hair at the scalp and dry on the ends. My husband and I use 4 parts cornstarch to 1 part baking soda as deodorant. Of course you have to adjust the amt of bakins soda if it irritates. Baking Soda is so cheap and good for so many different things. Love this!

To plantinthings: I have naturally thick and wavy hair. Contrary to popular belief, curly hair is much thinner (the hairs) than straight hair. I bought a book not too long ago entitled “Curly Girl” and it is about how to care for your curly hair – stay away from shampoos. I found about it when I met a girl with the most beautifully defined locks I’ve ever seen. She said I could have the same beautiful hair if I’d be prepared to commit to NOT washing it. Huh?? I tried it, and it has been amazing. She told me to go to a website: http://ylcf.org and under the tab ‘Learn’, click on “Got Curl”. Maybe you could check it out and see if it would work for you? (Sorry this post is to a thread 3 months old… )

I do agree with you Lara, we never do seem happy with who we are.
I read your article on going natural, love the end comment, Smile more!
Tho I try to go without makeup (only eyeliner and mascara) most of the time when I go to town I usually have to wear my war paint (boyfriend says), but I will try. As for my hair, I don’t color, perm, highlight….anything, I tell everyone who says I need to color my gray, ya either except me the way I am or ya don’t.
Found a homemade remedy for taming the frizzies, egg and mayo, that’s my next project.

My hair is straight as a board. I love the way that curls look in hair and had perms several times when I was younger. I decided a year or two ago to get comfortable with myself, flaws and all. I’m not saying that my straight hair is a flaw or your curly hair, but that I purposely did not wear makeup or highlight my hair in order to accept myself for who I am. It is funny how women especially are never quite happy with what they look like. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I’ve washed my hair using your technique for the past week, I’m still debating whether it works for me as I have VERY naturally CURLY hair. I do like the vinegar rinse as it seems to work well as a detangler (better than any conditioner I’ve used in a long time). But I do have to be careful as I have Rosecea and since trying this method of pooing I’ve had an outbreak, not sure if was the poo or something else.
I used to blow dry to make it straight (makes it very unhealthy) just to go outside and to get frizzy all over again, so as much as I hate the curly hair, I’ve told myself to deal with it…just wish I could fix, style or do something pretty with it.
