washing kids' hair

[amber913]

I'm done with my no-poo research and am going to get started as soon as i get some ac vinegar. But i'd like the kids to make this healthy change, too. BUT i've never heard anyone mention no-poo-ing their kids. I'm sure it's ok (right?), does anyone no-poo their kids? Or what do you use on them? (As it is, they get a bath every other day, with hair-washings every other bath).

Thanks!

p.s. And if you can give me any advice/suggestions with regards to no-poo-ing, i'd appreciate it!

I have mostly just used water on my daughter but have started washing her hair with honey. I try to scrub her scalp with it really, more than washing her hair. When I researched no pooing I read that the most important thing is scrubbing your scalp. The honey makes her hair have no tangles after washing and really soft. I wash the rest of her with water. She only has a bath about once a week cause our water dries us out. She never smells in between baths!

I only wash my kids hair with water. They have beautiful shiny hair.

I most of the time was my DD hair with only water. Once a month however I may wash with shampoo but I really try not to if I don't have to. We also shower her 3x a week right now as she is only 4 and does not sweat or smell much. She is always in the pool now this is summer and that is good for me.

My oldest I've switched to a shampoo bar. Her hair looks fantastic and it's great! Her hair adjusted much quicker than mine. My youngest I never used much soap or shampoo on due to her eczema/skin issues. I only use the shampoo bar on her hair if she has gotten something in her hair or once every 3-4 weeks. She doesn't have long hair but her hair is fine. You'd never know I don't shampoo her every time she bathes.
