About this ebook

There is a large controversy surrounding the art of cleaning your hair naturally. While many claim that it can be done, stories abound about people who tried--and stank.
Let’s face it, the very thought of not using shampoo on your head is disgusting!

In my quest for a simpler life I stumbled upon a number of folks who claim that cleaning your hair without shampoo is not only possible, but that it is better for your hair than lathering it with all of those chemicals, but in my opinion many of those reports were biased. They saw what they wanted to see, and didn’t report any downsides to eliminating shampoo from their lives.

In search of the truth, I decided to perform my own experiment. I decided to see for myself whether one could successfully clean their hair without shampoo, so for six months I resolved to eliminate shampoo from my life.

The results were surprising.
In this book you will discover:
* Can hair cleaned without shampoo pass a cleanliness inspection?
* Does the texture of your hair change when you eliminate shampoo?
* Can you clean your hair with just water?
* Does baking soda actually clean your hair?
* Can you clean color-treated hair without shampoo (and not hurt your dye job)?
* How can you condition your hair naturally?
* Benefits to cleaning your hair without shampoo
* Challenges to cleaning your hair without shampoo
* Dry shampoo alternatives
* And more
This book contains the unbiased account of how I cleaned my hair without shampoo for six months, and reveals my personal conclusion about whether hair can be successfully cleaned without shampoo. As a bonus I have included the posts on my website that were written during this experiment.
If you have ever wondered about the possibility, this book is for you.

    The No Poo Experiment - Annie Jean Brewer

    Introduction

    There is a large controversy surrounding the art of cleaning your hair naturally. While many claim that it can be done, stories abound about people who tried--and stank.

    Let’s face it, the very thought of not using shampoo on your head is disgusting!

    In my quest for a simpler life I stumbled upon a number of folks who claim that cleaning your hair without shampoo is not only possible, but that it is better for your hair than lathering it with all of those chemicals. In my opinion, however, many of those reports were biased. They saw what they wanted to see, and didn’t report any downsides to eliminating shampoo from their lives.

    I believe that the ones who reported that it didn’t work were equally biased. Many of them had never even tried the method, dismissing it outright because it was disgusting!

    In search of the truth I decided to perform my own experiment. I wanted to see for myself whether one could successfully clean their hair without shampoo, so for six months I resolved to eliminate shampoo from my life.

    The results were surprising.

    In this book you will discover:

    * Can hair cleaned without shampoo pass a cleanliness inspection?

    * Does the texture of your hair change when you eliminate shampoo?

    * Can you clean your hair with just water?

    * Does baking soda actually clean your hair?

    * Can you clean color-treated hair without shampoo (and not hurt your dye job)?

    * How can you condition your hair naturally?

    * Benefits to cleaning your hair without shampoo

    * Challenges to cleaning your hair without shampoo

    * Dry shampoo alternatives

    * And more

    This book contains the unbiased account of how I went without shampoo for six months and reveals my personal conclusion about whether hair can be successfully cleaned without shampoo. As a bonus I have included the posts on my website that were written during this experiment.

    If you have ever wondered about the possibility, this book is for you.

    Disclaimer

    Due to the sue-happy nature of the world today I am forced to offer this disclaimer:

    This book is based on my personal experience and has been written for educational purposes only. I am not responsible for any loss, real or implied, that may result from trying the tips in this book.

    Can you clean your hair with just water?

    Upon the recommendation of several websites at first I decided to try cleaning my hair with just water. Whenever I would bathe I would rinse my hair well but otherwise leave it alone. It did well for a while; those I had inspecting my hair could not believe that I wasn’t using shampoo! My hair eventually became very itchy when my psoriasis went into overdrive, however. Between the itching and flaking, I became miserable.

    The stuff I had read said that it takes a few weeks for the natural oils in your hair to adjust to the lack of shampoo, because of the fact that hair becomes accustomed to having the natural oils stripped from it on a regular basis. I tried to wait it out but I gave up on this after just a few days because the itching was too much for me to bear.

    In all fairness,
