Go shampoo free?

reading a bunch of other links, basically a mix of honey/baking soda/apple cider vinegar is a natural solution to shampoo
So…would you try it? 
Re: Would you do it?
no waaay!
Re: Would you do it?
Maybe...
But i do love me some chemicals...
I might try it sometime.
Re: Would you do it?
I'd def. give it a try.

The ACV cleans the scalp and maintains its PH balance. Honey is anti-inflammatory and someone here suggested it for split ends.

Except for when I'm in a time crunch, I haven't used commercial shampoos and conditioners in years...I make my own using natural ingredients (mostly stuff that everybody has in their kitchen pantries) and recipes I've collected throughout the years.
And I have to say that nobody is able to tell the difference...and more importantly, my hair is in real good shape, Alhamdullillah.

SPILL! What do you use?
Re: Would you do it?
shampoo
shayed
but SHAMPOO+CONDITIONER
no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Baking soda and some water (the recipe is in the first link Sara listed) are excellent. Though I have to say I don’t use this mixture more than 3 or 4 times a month because any more tends to dry out my hair.
Equal parts rheeta, amla and shikakai (about a teaspoon of each is enough for my hair which is fairly long) and enough water to make a paste…great shampoo. This is the proportion that works for me…you may have to play around with the amounts before you get the right proportions. And don’t rub too hard. In fact, don’t rub at all…just smooth it over your hair and scalp and let the granules do the rest as the water washes it away. I apply a bit of oil to my hair prior to using this mixture…the combination conditions my hair beautifully.
Bar soaps are also lovely. These folks make some great ones:
And ACV makes a great hair rinse. Try adding 5 drops of your favorite essential oil (I like rosemary but lavender, sage, rose, or lemon are also great) to 1 cup ACV. When you’re ready to rinse your hair after a shampoo, take a tablespoon of this mixture and add it to a cup of warm water.
Egg is also a fabulous conditioner. Just whip it well and apply it to dry hair. Let it remain for 15 minutes and then jump in the shower. Be sure to wash it out well…there shouldn’t be a problem with the smell if you carefully rinse it all out…though a few drops of your favorite essential oil in a cup of warm water will definitely get rid of any smell that the water doesn’t.
There are tons more recipes out there. You just need to research and experiment until you find what works for you.
Re: Would you do it?
^I bought shikakai powder once...mix it with water to form a paste and use as shampoo. It cleaned my hair out....but GOD if you get that stuff in your eyes........it's as bad as getting sunblock in your eyes!
I use the powders too once a month but washing it out is such a hassle! 
Re: Would you do it?
I tried baking soda and water about a year back and:bummer: something was wrong:hinna:
Re: Would you do it?
ni neva..it would stink soo bad!
Here’s another good recipe. I use this one pretty often:

Really? I have to agree that it’s not pleasant because it is grainy. But other than that, it doesn’t sting or anything. Perhaps the brand you’re using may not be the best? Make sure that it’s ground into a fine powder.
And as for everyone else who has their reservations…doing this isn’t for everyone. It takes time and effort to find the recipes, try them out, tinker with them, and find what works best for you based on your hair type and even where you live because the type of water you have will react with whatever you put in your hair.
But once you do find what works for you, your hair will be just as shiny, clean and non-smelly as if you used the commercial stuff…and much healthier too because all the chemicals that’s in most of the commercial stuff isn’t going into your hair.
