Shampoo Alternative- that Saves Money

Did you ever wonder why we need to shampoo and condition our hair, continuously. What did Adam and Eve do? They didn't buy shampoo.

I don't think so.

People only began stripping their hair of all it's natural oils, for the last 100+ years. Previously man used all-natural soaps, that wash out with non-treated water. Town or municipal water that is treated, makes it difficult for natural oils to wash out. Shampoo was introduced and marketed to work with Soft and Hard water.

But Shampoo is made with harsh detergents that can cut heavy grease, like the grease in an auto-shop. Then to compensate for all that stripping, we use conditioners. After conditioning, we put in all kinds of other products to give our hair shape and volume, and to tame frizz.

You know that if you washed your hair gently, not as often, and without harsh chemicals, the natural oils in you scalp and hair would give it body and shape on it's own.

It's amazing- I always thought I had straight but frizzy hair. Since going natural my hair is wavy to curly and very full.

The following are some of my suggestions for going natural with your hair care. There is an adjustment time for your body to regulate from trying to overcompensate all that oil stripping. That is why your hair will seem extra greasy so quickly. Hang tough- until it regulates. That can be 1-3 months.

**Reasons you may want to get off regular shampoo. Dandruff, Psoraisis, Itchy, or burning scalp, Hair loss. All of these things may improve by ridding the harsh chemicals you put on your hair.

1. Washing with Baking Soda and Vinegar and Young Living Purification Essential Oil:

In pint jar, put about 1 inch of baking soda, 1 drop of  Purification oil, and fill to the top with distilled water. Put a lid on the jar and shake. Then in another jar, fill 1/3 of the way with Apple Cider Vinegar and top off with more distilled water.(Both jars should last a few washings. Refill when empty.) When you wash your hair, first use the baking soda mixture and definitely massage enough into your hair and scalp. Leave on few a minute or 2. Then rinse very well. Follow that first wash with the Apple Cider Vinegar. This step is a must! Do not skip! Again massage the scalp well and rinse thoroughly.

After bathing, towel dry well and as your hair dries you can smooth a teeny bit of Extra Virgin Coconut oil over your hair. (If so desired).

 Citronella , lemongrass, rosemary, Melaleuca, lavandin, and myrtle.

2. Young Living has amazing, really clean shampoos. Without harsh chemicals. I like to do the baking soda wash with vinegar, and then sometimes switch it up by using the Lavender Mint shampoo and Lavender Mint conditioner. I have tried soo many natural, organic products that either do not work, or irritate my skin. Young Living's shampoo is very good quality. You only need a little bit. It leave your scalp feeling refreshed, and tingly from the Peppermint essential oil. It's a treat!
