No-Poo means No Shampoo.. I'm now trying to get into a more simple way of consuming products that are 1st healthy to my own body and eventually contributing my lifestyle to a healthier environment for everyone. After all, aren't we called to be part of God's redemption? This is a challenge to simply not wash your hair with the toxic, chemical-laden, store-bought shampoo that damages the hair and strips it of natural oils and leads to all kinds of diseases in the long run, like cancer . Suggested "new" way of washing hair: Dump one to two tablespoons of baking soda in a container (those they use for coloring) Add to it a cup or so of hot water. Shake until the baking soda is dissolved. Pour it in small amounts over my scalp, thoroughly massaging the portion of the scalp that the baking-soda-water hits, until it feels slippery (at first it will feel gritty). Continue the pouring and massaging until my whole head feels slippery. Rinse thoroughly.
