You're very welcome! :-) xx

+stephsv Thanks for the tip! :-) xx

Yes, you're so right. Shampoo didn't even exist 100 years ago. Yet all the women had strong, healthy, and beautiful hair. Simple methods are the best. xx

Your scalp might be sensitive to pH fluctuations that happen during the wash with baking soda. In that case it would be best to try a different method with gentler pH. xx

+Diana Nastic Hi! I'm so sorry to hear that your hair isn't doing well right now, but I'm sure that with a bit of patience and perseverance your hair will be strong and healthy again. It seems like it needs to detox from all that bleach now and it also needs a lot of nourishment from both inside and out. If your hair is already very stressed, I wouldn't try baking soda and vinegar, at least for now because it can cause shedding for some people, so don't risk. Go for a very natural and gentle shampoo for sensitive scalps. You said coconut oil didn't work for you, but you could try castor oil, which is extremely healing and promotes thicker and stronger hair. If you can get hold of burdock oil, you can mix it with castor oil 50/50 or simply mix castor oil with a lighter oil, such as jojoba or pumpkin seed oil. Don't keep it on your scalp for more than 30-60 minutes (I find that otherwise it starts itching and irritates the scalp a bit). Eat a lot of healthy fats, and make sure you get enough biotin (hazelnuts are a great source). I really feel for you, and I really hope your hair will recover soon! xx

Thank you!!!!! I am sooo EXITED!!!!! I've been waiting for so long, and tried sooo many products and my hair just kept on getting worse and Ihave to apply more than one product to style it and keep it under control. Thank you again for responding so quickly. Have a Great Day!!!  

+Adny Trolechic Hi! Welcome to no-poo world! :-) I wouldn't recommend washing with baking soda and vinegar more than once or twice per week. If you need a third time in a week, maybe just use a regular shampoo at the beginning while you transition? You can also try to wash using just the vinegar rinse alone in between the washes to make your hair last longer between proper washes during the transition period. To protect your hair from hot tools, just use any oil that you like using on your hair. Different oils work for different people. I love pumpkin seed oil and jojoba oil the most. Lots of people love argan oil. Others swear by coconut oil. You'll beed to experiment to see what looks best on your particular hair. It won't be damaged by sunlight if you regularly apply some oil on it (just like using a regular shampoo). Good luck! :-) xx

+Sandra Pottebaum Great! Thanks for sharing your experience so far. In a month or so the transition will be over, and you'll see how great your hair is going to look. xx

I doubt that less than 1 tbsp would be acidic enough to normalize the pH levels. Some people even go as far as using 3 tbsp, so it seems like 1 tbsp would be quite a minimal amount. xx

Oh, do you think it's ok to decrease the amount of acv? I naturally have an oily scalp so i figured decreasing the amount may do something, I'm not sure. I started with one tablespoon, to a teaspoon and now I'm up to half a teaspoon. I obviously don't want to take the acv out completely because I understand it has to normalize the pH levels but is half a teaspoon enough? I also think the oiliness attributes to washing it too often so right now I'm trying hold off until the 5th day to wash it.

Thank you :)

+Linda Soria Good question! :-) I think it's probably no poo as well. I also tried a lot of different shampoo bars, but they all leave my hair greasy and scalp itchy. We probably have similar hair. Baking soda can be harsh can be harsh if you use too much of it and too often. Start slow from 1 tbsp per cup and you'll be fine. You can always increase a little if you feel you need more cleansing power. Good luck! xx
