As you know there isn't any part of it that is natural anymore ( a bit like me) but because most of it is shaved off I could almost get away with using washing up liquid on it. :DLL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-50199135846686320162014-04-29T11:45:38.899-04:002014-04-29T11:45:38.899-04:00Granny Annie: My step-grandmother felt the same w...Granny Annie: My step-grandmother felt the same way about teeth. She'd had a full set of false teeth since she was in her 20's, and she thought everyone should do the same. Why bother with all the flossing and brushing when you can just pop them out and soak them overnight?<br /><br />Vanessa: The transition period was a bit of a learning curve, but you're still in control. If it starts to get gross you can just do another baking soda wash a little before schedule. Trust me, the baking soda and water mix works like a charm.<br /><br />Lynn: I can see myself getting evangelical for the cause. Let me know if I can count you among my converts. ;-)Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-3191131385994740112014-04-29T05:20:12.274-04:002014-04-29T05:20:12.274-04:00I wondered what the "no poo" in the titl...I wondered what the "no poo" in the title was going to turn out to be. :) I wash my hair every other day - seems to go OK, but will definitely check that article out.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-86561952021075127422014-04-28T23:31:12.545-04:002014-04-28T23:31:12.545-04:00Oooh, you wen't no-'poo! I've been wa...Oooh, you wen't no-'poo! I've been wanting to try it for a long time but I'm a bit scared to. I've read that there is a transition period that's kind of yucky. Here I've been using coconut oil for pretty much everything skin related (it's like a miracle!) and even making skin balm out of lard, but the no-'poo scares me. But you inspire me, Spark. I just might brave it soon. <br /><br />Coconut oil is anti-viral too! Dab it on pimples, cold sores, use it to remove make-up, the list is endless. I'm a huge fan. :) If you melt it, you can add in a few drops of your favorite essential oil(s) and then pop it in the fridge for an hour, and have a lovely scented version, too. And the essential oils are healing as well. <br /><br />Now that you're "streakin'," I bet it's cute on you. :) I'm sure your sister is right. :)<br /><br />Vanessence7https://www.blogger.com/profile/01646810098972114169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-4876849099309043102014-04-28T06:37:16.497-04:002014-04-28T06:37:16.497-04:00As you and others know, I am a bald headed woman. ...As you and others know, I am a bald headed woman.

It sounded like it took a week or so for her hair to adjust, but that it works great. After I finish my expensive shampoo and conditioner, maybe I'll make the switch too...Jenskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368202166540468533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-55272911279382701062014-04-26T22:58:52.060-04:002014-04-26T22:58:52.060-04:00We love coconut oil around here.

It's got wonderful anti-bacterial properties and is just all 'round pretty wonderful.<br /><br />Welcome to the craze. :)DarcKnythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007911811157251252noreply@blogger.com
