I tried the No Shampoo Alternative today, and it was wonderful! I did not use a styling gel afterward for the first time in a blue moon. Hair was easy to blow dry/style, and ended up soft and manageable! I currently have about 8 sets of natural shampoos, because I’ve had to alternate products to prevent build-up. Thanks a ton! (PS – I currently use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for toothpaste, so this didn’t sound too outrageous to me!)

One problem however with natural or organic personal or health care products is that they’re not clinically tested. We can’t be sure of their poisonous ingredients or toxic components.

This depends which country you live in. Especially when it comes to food. Here in South Africa, Organic stuff is a heck of a lot more expensive than the mass-produced stuff. Then, if you try and make things for your home yourself, you really can’t find what you need and often have to order from overseas, or pay a lot of money. An organic life in South Africa (can you believe it, we’re in Africa) is hard. Well, it’s hard if you live in the cities. Out in the rural areas, it’s a lot easier. And, relatively speaking, I still may be living a more organic life than those in America (we get real fruit juice, for example.)

Not overwashing my hair. I only wash mine about every 4 days. On the other days I rinse it. I don’t ever need conditioner.

I also wash my makeup off with olive oil!
