[@dAuriaVlogs]

Madeleine Olivia when hair washing make sure you use the pads of your fingers not your nails- just in case you aren't already do that

[@karakol86]

The white flakes, dry skin, are most likely from the hot water and from the scrubbing of the scalp with your fingernails. I also notice when I don't use a lot of conditioner (I use drugstore) I get dry skin. Most likely because my scalp is not moisturized. You may want to use a brush or a turkey baster (lol) to coat your hair.

[@altagraciapimentel6062]

or from the baking soda and vinager...

[@vidyamenon5838]

You could try a teatree oil spray after shower. Really helped me. Just 3 or 4 drops of tea tree essential oil in a cup of water. Spray it on your scalp and rub it in. Helps with the oilyness too (Is that the spelling?) Plus as an Indian I can say shikakai is the best remedy for dandruff..!! Love your videos btw

[@AyeshaKhan-iu6mf]

try to make shampoo of these powders its easier that way to wash your hair with it

[@lauren1218]

To keep your curls tight and have less frizz, don't brush your hair after you get out of the shower. Do it before you wash. I have very very similar texture hair to you and sleep on it wet too. Then in the morning I part it. Or if it's really wonky just use your fingers to even it out when it's wet. Also, standard towels cause a lot of frizz. Use a large cotton T shirt to dry your hair, or sleep on. Trust me, it makes a huge difference!

[@nrshree]

The options you are trying is good.. you are right this is being used for centuries (i am Indian :) ).. my no poo for last 6 months is- i apply mix of coconut oil, castor oil, almond and olive oil overnight.. to wash i use shikakai, reetha (soapnut powder gives lather), neem mix- instead of tea everytime i mix it as a paste apply to hair in bath scrub and wash. paste makes it more manageable, but you have to make sure to rinse it well else paste could remain (I'm ok with it on dark hair). eventually dandruff goes. for dandruff you could try a paste of methi (fenugreek seeds) with little oil- apply this n leave for half an hour and wash/ rinse of well..

[@nrshree]

hi ashmeet. it takes some amount of permutation combination with quantity. in one wash i scrub twice. first time more of shikakai powder second time more of reetha which gives lather..

[@OceanPancake]

This is awesome! I have so far been only using water, since I am worried the coconut oil and the other oils will make it quite greasy. How often do you do it?

[@nrshree]

MyVeganExperiment most of the times three days once is good.. depends on weather and physical activities.. compared to shampoo usage this neither makes my hair quickly greasy nor dry..

[@joanamontandon1478]

Haha! In Germany we have a saying: "If you kill 1 grey hair, 3 will come to his funeral" ;D Love your Videos! Greetings!

[@aartisinha9892]

Shikakai, amla and neem has been used in India since ages,, say since 2000 years ago.. Not exaggerating folks. Loved your videos. Thanks for reminding me of them. Gotta order them asap. :)

[@roselavia6110]

I wash my hair with Apple Cider Vinegar,baking soda,diluted in water then I apply coconut oil, castor oil and rosemary oil as living in. My hair is dry so the oils feed my hair. It's so soft and smells really nice.

[@OceanPancake]

I just did my six month update! Its awesome to see how my hair has changed and improved... I absolutely love the feel and look of my no poo hair.

[@donnaharte7495]

I use 1 table spoon of rye flour mixed with one and a half spoon of aloevera gel. Than I add 2 or 3 tea spoons of black coffee and a table spoon of fresh lemon juice. Than I combine until its a paste and use it on my hair 😊 Its the best thing ever! I loved your video, your hair grew so much!😍

[@bitsandbirbs4174]

It's amazing how beautiful curly hair looks with the no poo method, I just decided to try it myself and I can't wait to see how it looks and grows in a few months!

[@OceanPancake]

Make sure to stick through the first couple tough weeks. :) It becomes wonderful after a while. I've made two update videos as well.

[@chenxi7565]

Did you do it? Did it work?

[@SG-wu8eh]

I can't believe how much your hair has grown since your 4 month update. It's crazy! Also, are you sure ACV doesn't cleanse? I feel like it does mine. I'll have to look into those powders! And rock your grey hair, girl! Im proud of mine. I don't know if you remember but I posted them on your no-poo Facebook page. Haha!

[@SG-wu8eh]

Thanks! I guess I'm one of those people who can really use the moister. :)

[@Rawsheens]

I am close to 5 months no poo, and what I have noticed is that the only time my hair is slightly greasy and kind of has dry skin (not dandruff) is when I consume gluten the previous day. How I get rid of it is kind of similar to what you do, wash with warm water and then end with cold water. I also make a hair mask with amla powder and rosewater, let it sit on for about 15 minutes, then wash it off. Along with neem, shikakai and amla, you should try fuller's earth and sandalwood powder as well, those work amazing with the kind of dry skin/ dandruff you are referring to. Instead of making your tea with water and the powders, try making it with green tea or chamomile tea or any herbal tea for that matter with the powders. What I do is I collect a week's worth of used tea bags, store it in the freezer, and when ready, I steep them with dry rosemary leaves, strain and store it in a glass bottle, use it in hair masks or as a hair rinse in place of ACV or along with ACV. Also, highly recommend using tea tree essential oil. You can also use peppermint essential oil instead of lavender, just to switch things up since each essential oil has its own benefit right. Plus they smell amazing!

[@MadeleineOlivia]

So much great advice, thank you! Will definitely be trying these things out!

[@BuffytheRealSlayer]

Several years ago I completely gave up heat styling my hair and switched over to as natural as I could get them hair products. I never fully went to no poo because I do suffer from scalp psoriasis. I think I am going to try the method you mentioned in your video, though.

[@JOGESH18]

hey ..loved your video . you were talking of grey hair. My mom always told me that eating a tbsp of black sesame seeds everyday will stop or slow dawn greying of hairs.you can also apply black sesame oil to scalp at night time . mixing it with coconut oil..Its also good for hair fall.

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

I have lots of greys I'm 35. Whilst I've been using natural shampoo and conditioner for a while I've only just switched to natural colourants. Highly recommend Henna, covers greys beautifully and is 100% natural (I used Henné Henna)

[@callmeswivelhips8229]

Henna also straightens wavy hair. It removed almost all my curls after only 2 treatments!

[@emilymeier4849]

Call Me Swivel Hips yikes, what kind of henna did you use? Every brand I've ever used has made my hair sooo healthy and curly! I'm sorry that happened to you :-(

[@yelyc]

Emily Meier what kind of henna do you use? I love coloring my hair but loving it so much has dried out my hair sooo much so I was wondering what kind of henna you use since I wouldnt want to get rid of my waves? 🙂

[@Hannah-mg1wr]

Do you have to use the three of these powders? Or can you only use the shikakai and the Amla? I'm really curious since I'm not still mit happy with my acv-wash results. Your while no poo journy is soo interesting! Thank you for sharing your tips! I'm really enjoying your videos! Love, Hannah

[@katiemassarella4686]

I just ordered all three powders and I'm really excited to try this! So far I'm 2 weeks in with using just ACV and water and I'm still very oily. But I've been putting homemade dry shampoo on my head which is helping with the ugliness (arrowroot powder + cornstarch). Hope your method works for me!

[@KellyHicks23]

Have you heard of Ahnesti? I've been using it for 4 months and I love it. Is there a reason you don't just do a vegan organic shampoo?

[@ms.sturry684]

Baking powder mixed with water...about 2 table spoons to 1 cup water...the apple cider is good to rinse and condition the scalp and hair..great for no poo hair.

[@kristenrose4062]

Thanks for this recipe. Just bought the powders and am going to give it a go. I've been loo poo/no poo for about 18 months, mostly low poo as I haven't found a no poo method that works well. However, the low poo organic shampoo I use at the moment leave my hair very limp and flat, which has been difficult to adjust to as before my hair had so much volume. I never wear my hair down anymore because it just looks weird. Your hair looks like it has a good amount of volume so I'm hoping for the same result.

[@JazzyCrumbles]

My sister has dandruff (really bad, scabs, flakes, everything). I bought her some tea tree oil and dropped about 10 drops of it on a 16 oz bottle of shampoo. It's helping her dandruff and dry scalp a lot - and I use it because the winters in upstate ny cause me to have dry flakes. It helped us - have you tried it? It might help.

[@thumbalins]

I've been using a bar of green olive oil soap for a year now. Not sure it counts as no poo... but it gives my hair so much texture and keeps it strong. I'm very pleased.

[@maxhd9281]

And their aren't greasy with a olive oil soap?

[@poppyliz8993]

I'd really really recommend using henna or henna and indigo as a natural dye and protein treatment for your greys

[@classicrockrox1]

Have you ever tried a co-wash or cleansing conditioner? I've used the As I Am coconut co-wash and it works great. Typically it is meant for super curly hair, but I have slightly wavy Caucasian hair and have no problems with it.

[@lucyblayney2208]

I found the powers too drying for my hair (2b low porosity) but I'm having more sussess with this recipe I made up: 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup of kaolin clay 500ml water pinch of sea salt I freeze the lemon juice in teaspoon sized ice cubes, so it's quick & easy just to chuck the lemon juice icecube and the clay in the warm water, pour it in an old water bottle with a sports cap. then just wet my hair in the shower, squirt it on it & scrub my scalp, then leave it whilst I wash my body, then rinse it out well. My water where I am is really hard water, so I had a lot of waxy feeling in my hair doing water only because of it. This recipe seems to be settling my scalp down too. Hope this helps.

[@pinky1494]

I've been using Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap for shampoo (diluted of course, maybe 1:5 ratio), but before applying that, I use homemade aloe gel on my hair/scalp and let it sit. The aloe has been making my hair so soft and giving it a nice sheen! :) I'm still trying to get rid of dandruff too, but I want to wait a little longer to see the results of aloe.

[@shea542]

Embrace grey hairs, they're lovely 🙂 I'm looking into trying a neem shampoo to transition from lush shampoo bars

[@blueollis]

Do you know of any other hair powders that may be good for other hair and scalp conditions? Where did you find out about these?

[@hmerle]

Thanks for this video! I just commented on you instagram the other day that your hair looks awesome right now :D So you got me looking into these things now, haha. Now I have manny questions, and since you've been looking into it, I thought you might know some answers :p : I heard that shikakai can change the colour of blonde hair, can you make other mixtures with these kinds of powders for instance amla and reetha? And would you recommend the pre-mixed powdered shampoo from brands like Khadi or Eliah? Also, I read that some people mix it into a paste with less water then you do, why would you recommend a thinner mixture?

[@BeckyLouise22]

Your hair looks lovely! I have tried washing with water only but couldn't stand the waxy feeling, would you say these powders leave your hair feeling really clean? Also do you think there would still be a transition period if I gave these powders a go? (I currently wash my hair every 4 days with conventional shampoo). I would appreciate any advice you can give me :)

[@MoniqueGrace]

You're so pretty!

[@marshmallowpie42]

I've been doing no poo and water-only for about 5 months now. I have short wavy hair, but not sure, if could keep doing no poo, if I let my hair grow.

[@callmeswivelhips8229]

I think you're doing a great job on your no poo journey, and your hair looks amazing! I'm so happy to hear that things are getting better for you! You're using Ayurvedic powders? THAT'S SO COOL! They say Ayurvedic medicine is 3000 years old. Cool shit if you ask me. I dyed my hair with henna twice last year, and I loved the way it made my hair feel and look when it was long, especially the color. But the henna also made my hair straight, which is why I cut it all off. Currently, I'm playing around with sun bleaching. It's working out well so far. :) Apparently amla powder increases curls rather than diminishes them (like henna or neutral henna). Something about rearranging the bonds in your hair that create the actual curls?

[@ghkaito6071]

I have a dry hair and the apple cider vinegar work fine for me. i used sidr powder before, then rinse it with the vinegar. but i stoped now couse the sidr is way to strong for a dry hair. anyway, thank you i enjoyed watching your video

[@rashimehra9320]

Hey how do you use this method while traveling? Or, what is your hair care routine while traveling?

[@pennyv7513]

So, this might be a stupid question, but are you using the aloe vera as a style product (obviously with the main benefit of healthier scalp)? Are you using it as a gel/curl definer/etc.? I have curly/wavy hair (depending on the humidity, and I am always trying to find a better curl/wave product. If so, would you mind describing how you apply it? Thx!

[@apaintedescape9727]

You're the reason why I started no poo, I used Apple cird vinegar at first but now I'm using shikakai powder too and it's still a little bit "dirty" but I am determined to stick to it!😉 Thank's for these interesting no poo videos👌

[@livsutton4571]

Im waiting for your 7 months update!! :)

[@tigerlilly0504]

How often do u wash ur hair with this? I use the same powders but add soapnut and cinnamon. I'm washing only twice a week but it's hard to draw it out that long in the hot summer.

[@HooLyKeKyy]

What would you recommend for people just starting out? Should I start with the powders immediately or do you recommend doing something before that?

[@Mariandasexy]

i just saw avideo that mentioned that dandruff is a type of fungus and zinc is a good anti-fungul that'll help u get rid of it,it may not be related but u could give it a try

[@yelyc]

Has anyone ever tried the “scrich and preen” method with wavy/curly hair? Since I’ve gone “no poo” my hair has definitely gained its curl pattern tremendously 😊 I started out with shea moisture shampoo and conditioner then transferred to the “baking soda and acv rinse” but I felt as if the baking soda was extremely drying no matter what I did and so I went on to just the ACV and I found that helped for awhile but in turn my hair managed to get extremely greasy and felt a bit heavy and so I decided to use the baking soda and avc one last time to clear out the buildup a bit and then continued on with water only but it had been 1 day and my scalp was excruciatingly oily so I came across the “scrinch and preen” method (idk if I’m saying it right) but I found the wooden brush tugged on my curls and really didn’t do much for detangling more than it hurt and tangled my hair EVEN MORE (might be the kind of brush brand?) So I went on to detangling it with a wide tooth comb and bringing the oils down VERY carefully with the wooden brush for a few days but my scalp is so sensitive that now everytime I touch my scalp it is painful and I have developed some headaches and my hair was a frizzy mess Bc I brushed out my waves/curls 😭🤦🏻‍♀️ ik this is long 🙁😂if anyone has any tips please help I’ve ran out of ideas,any tips would be so helpful 😊

[@veganpowercouple4486]

Cool video. I'm just wondering though, why not just use a natural vegan shampoo instead?

[@margaux9447]

I'm french and it's great because you don't speak too fast so it's easy for me to understand your video haha

[@mariabogh]

Great video. It's been so fun following your no poo journey. Your hair looks really, really good! Have you tried using soap nuts? I've been no poo for 6 months now and I simply love soap nuts. They wash my hair super clean. You boil 10 soap nuts in 2 cups of water for about 10 minutes. And then use the liquid as shampoo. Let it sit in your hair for some minutes and rinse out. I don't have to use anything else, no conditioner. I wash my hair about once a month and use just water in between. I can only recommend trying soap nuts. I also wash all of my clothes with them. Sooo good 😊

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Maria Elisabeth Bøgh Nielsen I will probably try this out when these powders finish!

[@PaulinaBawiecYoga]

I've just bought these on Amazon and so excited to try these. I have one question: how many times a week do you wash your hair with this? :)

[@anokhigandhi5082]

ispyblue did it work?

[@rebekkiej]

apple cider vineagar totally cleanses my hair though... Its a method that people with afro hair have also been using for gafes so I think they should definitely be onto something

[@hann.]

I have very dry and sensitive skin, does anyone suggest a no poo method? I have dermititis on my scalp so atm I have to use a prescribed shampoo but at some point I definitely want to try no poo.

[@lilielouise3954]

Omg I'm six months no poo on the 21st April! And same it's grown so much and so many baby hairs ahaha best decision I've ever made. I use water only now and THANK GOODNESS I NO LONGER HAVE TO BASE MY LIFE AROUND THE 5 DAYS IN BETWEEN HAIR WASHES 😂😂 my golly it used to be so much work!! Interesting that you're using powders though, I might give that a go... Good for you Maddie xxx

[@mariaismaylova522]

I know really well that dandruff in the hairline area! the thing is that I have highly sensitive scalp (if I'm not mistaking that's your problem as well). when I was using conventional shampoo, even the softest ones like the ones for babies, after wash I would have dry scalp just above the temples, it would also itch in the back, just in the middle. so now I've been testing out an Ayurvedic shampoo which has shikakai in it as well and I'm just applying it to the hair, not the roots, and it's been working pretty well, those parts are not irratated as much. Although I kick up some flakes while massaging (not in the shower, when I brush my hair out). it seems that the hairline is a pretty sensitive area so maybe it's a good idea not to scrub it really hard. but it depends, this may be caused by sensitiveness or by a buildup. I guess you should experiment a bit more :)

[@nikkiduncan9209]

You need a shower filter to get rid of the harsh chemicals that are added to the water.

[@daisyalas2280]

Your hair looks so good! I want to try no poo but I have thin, straight and oily hair. And the reasons you listed is why I'm hesitant to do it 😧 You give me hope though, because every update your hair just looks better and better

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Daisy Alas Thank you! Don't feel hesitant to do it! It's just hair haha! Just start with low poo or switching to a natural shampoo 😊

[@uthibfg9480]

I have same hair condition with you. I am doing no poo just 1 month ago, with rice water and aloe vera gel. Thats great for my scalp

[@tinybears3859]

Henna covers grey hair and is healthy natural for the hair

[@malachy1243]

does it lather ? and do you get that "clean hair" feeling? (:

[@classiical]

i've got color treated hair, is it still possible for me to do no poo?!

[@thebalancebunny971]

Thanks :) I'll have to try this

[@evag2726]

Thanks for the update. You say you haven't had your hair cut in six months- you're so lucky to be able to leave it that long: mine gets quite frizzy if I don't have it trimmed regularly. Have you noticed any split ends, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks :)

[@lesleyoliver5582]

Eva G hi, I have very thick, long, dark curly, mature hair and I was finding that at the back centre of my head (roughly where you lay your head to sleep) my hair would get a course/dry feeling and would split much quicker than the rest of my hair. I initially started using Argan oil most mornings (no more than a 5p piece - "less is more") into the palm of my hand, rub it through your palms and stroke it through "the ends" of your hair. I found that for a long time it really helped keep my hair in beautiful condition (in fact my hair grew quicker so I was getting it cut cause I didn't want it that long.) After about 2 yrs I found it didn't seem to work as well so I am now using Macadamia Oil in the same way and yes my hair is showing a positive difference. I hope this helps in some way. :)

[@evag2726]

Thanks Lesley :)

[@mariejouberton3367]

Hello ! Can I Use this mixture on blonde hair ?

[@cristinaborges999]

grey hair is beautiful

[@MarielasSister]

Cristina Borges I used to think the same thing until my hair started turning grey. Lol!

[@latatendulkar6829]

Eating amla helps with Grey, my sis got few at 15 and eating homemade amla jam helped

[@historianlaura]

Few drops of t tree and lavender oil in the tea mix you make will help the dandruff x

[@OceanPancake]

I found that brushing my hair was the best way of getting rid of dandruff. Two days of it and it would disapear! :D

[@newinsly]

Hi Madeleine, I've been following along with your noo poo updates and really enjoying them. You're hair is looking gorgeous and really healthy - woo! Regarding the flaking, I'm wondering if it's possible that it's the water. It may sound a little strange but I live a little further north up in Cheltenham and our water is terrible. It's so full of chlorine that it completely strips my skin and leaves my scalp flaky. I even put coconut oil on my face before getting in the shower otherwise is a dry, flaky mess afterwards :-(. When I shower in other areas where the water doesn't seem to be so heavily treated I don't have this problem. Just a thought, might be worth testing when you stay other places.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

newinsly Thanks for the ideas! The one thing I know I have no problem with is our water! It is our own mineral water from a well! Our house used to be a farm so luckily have soft mineral water out the taps!

[@newinsly]

Ha brilliant. That's that ruled out then 👍🏻

[@ican384]

Your hair looks like mine! I’m no poo too

[@catiam8034]

I recommend also alep soap (original one only with olive oil and bay leaves oil) smells horrible ,but it is doing soo good especially for hair growth. u can use any essential oil you like for dandruff(add a few drops on that "tea"mix), and try massaging the scalp instead of scratching it .may work for you.for me the stress was the source of scratching/ flakes/itchiness/dandruff/ and not drinking enough liquids which caused dehydration on my skin and scalp.one curious awkward question : does your hair smell?😀like when I get greasy hair it has a specific scent, and I recognize I kinda like that"freshly washed hair with shampoo"smell.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Catia M Thanks for the recommendation! I never scratch my scalp, only ever massage it! And it drink a lot of water! No it doesn't have a smell anymore, it did while I was water only where it smelt of wet dog kinda but now it just smells of nothing or of lavender when I spray it with my hairspray 😊

[@catiam8034]

thank you for your answer!😗 I have another recommendation the elemental.eu site.has every powder/essential oils/butters/floral waters/ natural ingredients you can wish for .you may like neroli water spray too😉hope it helps

[@pennyv7513]

I have the same issue with flakes (It's not dandruff). I also have oily hair, can't go a day without a wash otherwise I could use the oil to fry some food. When it's really bad I will literally put regular skin lotion on visible areas after I have styled to make sure they are not so prominent.

[@nightshade5713]

You look awesome! I really want to try no poo. Your hair type is really similar to mine and I do get dandruff sometimes after shower but it goes away like yours. I think hot water doesn't help. I use warm water to wash and before I get out the shower I use cold water because it helps with blood flow and hair loss. I do scrub the shampoo but gently. If I don't scrub, I get more dandruff and I think the dandruff is just old skin in the scalp so you need to massage to take it out. Also you should scrub when you are rinsing your shampoo and conditioner (or the herbs that I can't remember the name) but be careful to not overdo it. My hair is wavy like yours but the fronf part is more curly so I use twist rope braid when my hair is almost dry. It makes my curls more uniform but beachy. Maybe it helps with the look that you want.

[@hajjhjd2838]

[@keizaabigail5559]

how many times a week do you wash your hair?

[@Kursk431]

Isn't it awful, I never realized you had a recipe book until now! I shall buy it as I am still fairly new to being vegan and always looking for meal ideas😊😊😊

[@Stachaism]

I have curly hair and find using natural conditioner with no nasties as a shampoo. I wash it once with the conditioner that's it , Cos its conditioner I don't need to condition it either. My hair is in fantastic condition. I also use the same conditioner as a hair product. Squirt a penny size into your hand, rub hands together so it becomes a tacky past and scrunch into hair. All done! Curly hair doesn't like to much fuss. Xx

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Stacha Hicks might try this out in the future!

[@petravincent4905]

hi..want to try this out..what size waterbottle is this...1 Liter??

[@karissaseiersen261]

Where did you hear about this? I tried looking up others who use this same method to hear more reviews, etc, but can't find anything! Did you make it up?

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Karissa Seiersen check out the no poo facebook group!

[@erinm9362]

Just started no poo a week ago and I use a mixture of apple cider, baking soda and water but I have the problem of really oily hair cause I used to wash it everyday. I don't know what to do, what would you say is the best method?

[@anouk.baasdejonge]

Maybe you could start with normal shampoo but postponing washing. So first starting washing it with normal shampoo every other day, en then evere other other day. And when you wash it not everyday anymore trying real no poo?

[@fromgreentogray]

For gray hairs, you could try henna? I've heard it's nourishing for the hair too I think!

[@humaidshamsi7029]

Did u had any hairfall while following noo po

[@thunder440v3]

Hi :) for grey hair you can try Iba halal hair color (it is sulphate free, vegan and I personally love it ). I will highly recommend this product. I myself use shikakai+amla+reetha+fenugreek powder to cleanse my hair. And for coloring my hair I use Iba halal hair color. And am very satisfied with that. U can try if u wan.. (: Lots of love from India (:

[@petrarausova]

I have never seen green Amla powder! And Neem should be a green powder

[@delynng1088]

I went no poo for a month and I got really bad acne.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Make sure you're changing your pillows or sleeping with your hair in a tshirt!

[@elliesunflower8582]

I used to be no poo before (I did honey and ACV wash once a month and water only the rest of the time) and I had the exact same problem as you with the white flakes except that I have blonde hair so it wasn't that obvious but still :/ Also correct me if I'm wrong but your hair is starting to look a little frizzy on the roots area? Maybe it's just the lighting I don't know, but I remember dealing with this when I was doing no poo. I was no poo for almost a year until I gave up and started using natural shampoo and conditioner (I use Australian Organics shampoo & conditioner for dry hair, it's the best thing that have ever happened to my hair). When I washed my hair with shampoo the first time in almost a year, my hair just wouldn't get clean, I had a ridicilous amount of waxy buidup, it took me months of using shampoo to finally feel like my hair is clean! I kinda regretted doing no poo after that thinking I ruined my hair, but now I'm grateful for it, just like you it made my hair grow so fast so much and the texture is a lot better. My hair is now so nice,soft bouncy and lightweight I love it. I think if you ever don't feel it anymore don't force yourself to keep doing it, but I definitely think that doing no poo is a good way to give your hair a break for like 3 months a year or something.

Ellie Grey I love doing no poo and highly doubt I will ever go back to shampoo and conditioner! It was just such a nightmare for me washing it so often! The positives out way any negatives. It will just take time with this method that actually works for me for the flakes to go away. And my hair has some frizziness but that's a combination of the fact that I have curly/wavy hair so have always had SOME frizziness, depending on the day. I also have a habit of playing with my hair which creates more frizziness and I also desperately need a haircut! Normally that helps with it a lot!

[@elliesunflower8582]

Fair enough, Have you tried olive oil? It's great for frizzy hair! Like a tiny bit on clean dry hair will usually get rid of the frizziness :)

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Ellie Grey have tried oils before yes and they only work in teeny amounts on the ends of my hair! It really doesn't bother me very much, I think this video emphasises it more than it shows up in real life! My instagram pictures are a better depiction of what my hair looks like!

[@SF-kc6zv]

What ratio did you use for the hair spray? I've made a salt spray, which works ok, and I'd love to try something new :) I've recently discovered that I can buy aloe leaves at my grocery store! Fresh, no preservatives, and package-free :) Very exciting

Honestly I think you experience dandruff because of hard water. Shower filter ( actually shower head ) which you can find from amazon for £9 pounds can help it out. I changed it and notice softer skin + hair. But softer water makes harder to clean hair.

[@MadeleineOlivia]

We have very soft water!

[@rasa7196]

My scalp sometimes sensitive during changing weather. I would suggest bristle boar brush but because you have wavy hair not sure if it be good idea. (apart maybe before shower)

[@covidshetty8708]

Do u get itchy

[@christinegower9177]

The white flakes sound like a food intolerance playing out. Try eliminating grains, or dairy as a starting place.

[@valflerm3769]

We were raised by a generation that was heavily marketed to for hair color products. We were told that going grey wasn't pretty. Not true. Love your greys. So many gorgeous and elegant women just let nature be their colorist, now. (Interestingly, people are dying their hair grey on purpose nowadays) Embrace it! :) I'm in my 30's, started going grey as a teen & I've had co-workers think I am still in my teens! Grey hair doesn't necessarily age you, but it may distinguish you from your peers with chemically-dependant hair.

[@sumand1143]

Don't make a tea out of it. Instead you should soak the power mixture in water for 5 hours before use. I'm indian we do this often.

[@bvrlylava]

Omg I was thinking of a different “poo” 😂

[@altagraciapimentel6062]

your hair will look fine with water only, because you have soft hair "good hair" as it is said in my country

[@shellball6020]

Possibly try something with peppermint or your white flacks!

[@chrystalbrower8863]

While browsing through the comments, I saw a rude comment about the way you look. It makes no sense to me because you're beautiful. 💚

[@ticklemypickle2456]

Chrystal Brower it looks like the bitch that made the comment deleted it after all the hate she was getting. LOL

[@humaidshamsi7029]

R u still doing noo poo?

[@karankaur5768]

neem is very drying!

[@3llenzinha]

try no poo delight by deva Curl. i know, It is full of chemicals, but i think you'll love It.

[@Kursk431]

PS: I know it has nothing to do with your video, but saw the link below lol

[@ashleylocke3052]

Just came across your video. Your hair does look great! You're so pretty! If anyone is interested, be sure to check out Calia haircare. It's Canadian. They have a 'shampoo' and 'conditioner' that doesn't have anything that isn't natural, Pure and clean. It's the most pure product that doesn't require any thinking or work on my end AND my hair loves it. It's also very reasonably priced. This line is a gem. I wash once a week. It doesn't lather like conventional shampoo of course but it works. It cleans and moisturizes the hair leaving it soft and shiny. I love it.

[@conscioushomestead]

How old are you? If you have grey hair coming in, go with it girls! Growing older is a privilege not enjoyed by everyone.

[@OceanPancake]

That is a very beautiful and true way of looking at it!

[@ralucarer]

this is what i always say about growing older!

[@ravenwyld]

Love my hair tinsel 😉

[@GoogleAccount-jo5ee]

What do you do if you go swimming though?

[@callmeswivelhips8229]

Hair cap? I hear they work well. I guess getting your hair wet before you go in prevents the chemicals from soaking into it somehow. But I haven't done any research on that myself. Something to look into.

[@lois9271]

Im not totally no poo but i wash my hair a looooooot less than most plp... im embarrassed to say since people always seem to be grossed out lol! But before swimming in chlorine i rinse my hair with water wring it out a little bit then saturate my hair with coconut oil! It usually works wonders and its like a nice moisturising hair treat on top 😃

[@yelyc]

Lois • is the coconut oil difficult to remove out of your hair afterwards?

[@bethechange1297]

Grey hair is so sexy.... don't pluck out the hairs, let them grow and be proud.

[@civi4270]

LOL i thought 6 month without poo (poop) XD

[@jennamurphy9614]

You should never pluck your hair! You will go bald! As you pluck the greys and your brown hair falls out eventually you will just not have any hair left. Just let your hair be grey. I'm 34 and i've embraced it.

[@laurelkerossow9924]

Use the apple cider vinegar to rinse your hair of coconut oil.

[@chocolatelover9072]

Your eyes + eyebrows + your dark hair kind of remind me of the actor of Jessica Jones. But just very slightly... It's a bit confusing to me :o But anyways - I think you're beautiful :D

[@chocolatelover9072]

And wow, I just realized how late I am with commenting :'D

[@wenceslaofigueroa3526]

Por

[@polly2900]

I just let my grays come in. Natural is always better than dying your hair.
