I mix warm water and apple cider vinegar with a few drops of good quality shampoo and wash my hair with that and then rinse. No tangles afterwards and my hair is shiny and for the first time I got compliments on my hair. I am excited about this method.

I have been using shampoo soap bars for about 2 years now, makes my hair feel clean, and if it gets too wiry (grey hair, think Albert Einstein!) I rinse with vinegar which makes it go lovely and soft. I tried just using water for a while, which is supposed to balance out after a while, but stopped when my daughter said my hair smelled of sick 🙁 I then tried bicarb wash/vinegar rinse, which suited my hair really well, but I just didn't like using the bicarb. I now buy melt and pour shampoo soap, and personalise with herbs and essential oils before pouring into soap moulds. Not quite making my own soap, but almost as satisfying 🙂 The shampoo bars last for ages, and it is great not to have to buy new bottled shampoo every couple of weeks. Also cuts down hugely on plastic use.

I've been making my own pure coconut oil soap for several years now, and also use it for my hair. Works great!

I would be very interested in how you go. I fell ill with an auto immune disease this year and I am only washing in unscented doctor bronner on my body and using something very gentle for my hair from the healthfood shop but I would like to go even further.

I have been using my home made soap for about 2 year, so much better than shampoo, rinse with vinegar, have yet to find a suitable conditioner for my witches hair, but working on it. Aloe gel seems to be the best so far.

I read Lindsay's blog (treading my own path) and started using rye flour to wash and apple cider vinegar to rinse my extremely curly hair. Works great.

Have been using shampoo bars for many years / vinegar as the rinse and recently added rosemary sprigs into the vinegar – lovely, lovely clean aroma that dissipates over the next day

I have been using bicarbonate soda to wash and ACV rinse for years and years and I love it. Grey hair, and it never looked better. I sometimes make a tea with rosemary from the garden and add a little local honey as the water component in the rinse and that makes hair even shinier.

I never use conditioner on my hair, & it is just fine. I understand just using water will work & also using baking soda. Also, there is no need to lather hair two times. One lathering & a good rinse works well. I have thick, straight gray hair. Thanks for all your helpful info. Mary Ann (GA – USA)
