Here’s a blog I pinched off the rubbish free web site just to give you someone else’s opinion. What cracks me up if that she was pretty sceptical at the start, but that is to be expected when you are changing lifetime habits and belief’s that have been reinforced with advertising. I’ve personally been using this hair washing method for 18-months and reinterate – my hair has never been better. Even gets rid of dandruff…. saves money and works better – what more could you want.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a long time since I, Waveney, blogged \u2013 but I want to tell you all about my hair! During our Rubbish Free Year I felt that nice, expensive salon shampoos and conditioners were \u2018permissible\u2019 \u2013 partly because I had chosen brands with hard plastic containers that can be recycled at kerbside, but mostly because my hair isn\u2019t what it used to be. I know that\u2019s the cue for the 50 somethings to say \u2018honey you haven\u2019t seen anything yet\u2019 but nevertheless, as the sun has set on my silky 20-something hair a growing dependence on allsorts of hair products has steadily risen.<\/p>\n
I say all this as a defense of some sort because I don\u2019t use the shampoos and conditioners at my local bulk eco food stores where I can refill my own container. I also have to confess to not trying any of the completely natural, and rubbish free, suggestions that people in the know have offered \u2013 until two weeks ago that is. My mum rang me all excited, she had been told that cider vinegar is an amazing hair conditioner and she had just tried it, \u201cIts silky\u201d she said, \u2018\u2019you\u2019ll have to feel it to believe it.\u201d And when I next saw her I actually was impressed. It sat better, it looked better, it really was silky.<\/p>\n
Do you get that problem when a hair product that used to work really well starts to be less and less effective? My conditioner has been getting that way recently and mum\u2019s hair was looking better than mine (and she\u2019s 60 something). It was all the convincing I needed, I tried it and actually couldn\u2019t believe it. It worked better than my salon silky treatment stuff, in fact I don\u2019t know if my hair has ever looked and felt so nice.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s not the end of the story. A few weeks earlier I had actually read a blog, by the legendary Lyn of Taranaki (Pigs Tits and Parsley Sauce), saying that cider vinegar conditioned and baking soda cleaned hair. And Lyn was raving about it, saying all the heady things I\u2019m saying now. Although I hadn\u2019t quite believed it, I did remember it. So yesterday I went back to the blog to sus out the baking soda thing feeling convinced that Lyn could be trusted and that I was on to a winning ticket. Consequently, my hair got the double-hippy-whammy, first the baking soda then the cider vinegar! I waited expectantly as it dried. And the verdict? Silky, shiny 20 something hair! With results this good saving a serious bit of cash and helping the planet out almost fade into the background. I couldn\u2019t recommend it more. But if you don\u2019t feel quite ready to flush decades of lab tested, break through developments down the drain, then next time you think your product of choice isn\u2019t working as well as it used to, wash your hair just once with baking soda, it will completely strip away the build up of the hair product out of your hair thus allowing it to become fully effective again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
