Why You Should Wash Your Hair With Apple Cider Vinegar

VIDEO: Great shampoo alternative! Check out Awesome Testimonial Video Below..

Most people turn up their nose at the idea of soaking their hair with vinegar instead of using a normal, pleasantly-scented shampoo. Vinegar feels and smells like a harsh liquid that would be extremely unpleasant to use as part of a shower routine. But the secret here is that with some experimentation and a good hair dryer, anyone can have a healthy scalp plus a scent-free head of glossy, strong hair.

• Apple Cider Vinegar is an AWESOME alternative to shampoo!Do it for Your HealthThe main reason to go no ‘poo is your health. The number of chemicals in shampoo and other bath and body products is frightening. Your skin is the largest organ on your body. Whatever gets put on your skin gets absorbed into your body, into your bloodstream and into your organs, as has been proven by many studies. Essentially, whatever is toxic to put in your mouth is toxic on your skin as well.
  According to Jacqueline Krohn, M.D., in The Whole Way to Natural Detoxification: The Complete Guide to Clearing Your Body of Toxins by Jacqueline Krohn, MD, “Caustic chemicals, such as alkaline solutions, can also penetrate the skin. Once a chemical has penetrated the stratum corneum (the most superficial layer of skin), it moves through the epidermis and into the dermis. Then the rich blood supply of the dermis readily transports the chemical into the bloodstream.”Chemical Content of ShampooFollowing are just a small sample of the toxins found in most shampoos and their detrimental side effects.

  Alcohol, isopropyl (SD-40) is a very drying and irritating solvent and dehydrator that strips your skin’s moisture and natural immune barrier, making you more vulnerable to bacteria, molds and viruses. It is made from propylene, a petroleum derivative, and is found in many skin and hair products, fragrances, antibacterial hand washes as well as shellac and antifreeze. It can act as a “carrier,” accelerating the penetration of other harmful chemicals into your skin.

  For the last 8 months, I’ve been off shampoo and conditioner.  For years, I’d been using “organic” shampoos and conditioners, but they are so expensive and I had a hard time finding one that worked well for my hair (especially since I only wash my hair every other day).  When I started seeing all the blogging craze about not using shampoo, I decided to give it a try. Now I use baking soda to wash my hair and apple cider vinegar to condition it, and I’ll never go back to storebought products.
