No-poo alternatives

[Jaysfamily]

Baking soda and vinegar didn't work for me. What are other alternatives to not using shampoo and conditioner? I won't try honey for a conditioner because of all the bees in our area. We also have water that ranges from hard to very hard, so it can be difficult to rinse things out, and to get things clean. I'll try the bs and vinegar method again in a few years when we move.

I've been using the Alata "black soap" every few days as needed.

I condition once or twice weekly and occasionally just use water only. The conditioner emulsifies excess oil and it's easy to find an all-natural brand. Doing daily scalp massages to distribute oil down the length of the hair also made all the difference for me.
