A little hair experiment

  So a few months back I had read that you could wash your hair with nothing more than baking soda as a shampoo and apple cider vinegar (organic with the "mother")as the conditioner.  I am constantly trying to reduce the amount of unnatural things in my life so I figured I would give it a go.  For probably about 3 weeks now I have been doing this and I am happy to report that my hair feels great, gets clean everyday and doesn't smell like vinegar!  So no more crappy shampoo (probably one reason the doc has a few less hairs up top! than he used to).  Turns out that shampoo acutally causes your hair to produce more oil. Check out this post from someone who has been doing this for 3 years.

  We also started making our own laundry detergent out of some simple old timey ingredients so keep your eyes peeled for a post on the Mitchler family detergent recipe (cost works out to 7 cents a load)!
