The Great Shampoo Experiment III !

Update to the shampoo recipe posted here.

I found out that the baking soda shampoo can leave a white powder in your hair too. I saw some on my brush all of a sudden, and was not pleased.

I used apple cider vinegar for the first time in the rinse recipe, and I noticed that I didn't like it as much. I ended up with the first residue in my hair, and sometimes I felt like the scent of vinegar was lingering a bit.

So, I started over and reduced the baking soda to 1/4 cup and went back to white vinegar in the rinse. I'm already feeling the results, which are very positive.

My hair feels far less heavy using this shampoo/rinse, but I also feel like it is a bit dry. I want to experiment with making a jojoba oil conditioner for occasional use.

My scalp is feeling a LOT more healthy using this shampoo/rinse, and my psoriasis is practically non-existent at the moment. I've also noticed that I seem to have less hair falling out.  Nice!
