Ok well it might not exactly be futuristic shampoo and conditioner, but it IS great stuff that most of you might not know about.  I have tried this myself and I love it!  I only wash my hair once a week so having an oily scalp used to be a problem.  Well I'm here to tell ya that with this new method of cleaning my scalp I no longer have to worry about it.  Now before any of you say EWWWWW just lock the lips, listen, and try it out first. Then you make your decision.  I will concede that this method might not be for everyone.  We've all been brought up to believe that lots of lather makes for clean hair.  Well I say bull hockey.  That is a chemical added to the shampoo to make it lather.  It doesn't make a cookies difference on the cleanliness of your scalp or hair.  So without further ado here goes.... All you need it baking soda, apple cider vinegar, and water.  TADA!!!! Most of us already have this stuff in our homes.  If you don't you won't have to drop a gazillion dollars to get it.  Recipe is as follows:

1 Tablespoon baking soda
1 to 2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

In shower dissolve baking soda into 1 cup warm water until clear.  Taking care to concentrate ONLY on the scalp, pour mixture over head. Let stand for about a min. (I massage very gently if I have any product or color buildup) Then rinse. (Hair might be a bit haylike at this point, mine wasn't.) Then mix apple cider vinegar in 1 cup warm water and repeat procedure.  Allow to sit a minute or so and rinse out or leave in.  Rinsing out is an totally optional when it comes to the vinegar.  You WILL NOT smell like a pickle!!!
     You WILL enjoy fresh clean hair and scalp without having to wash everyday or even every other day.  See just how long you can go between shampoos.  Its not nasty but actually good for your hair NOT to shampoo too often.  Obviously adjustments can be made for length and thickness, but remember we're concentrating on the scalp.  The hair will get the overflow.   I have found most recently that this method might fade your hair color.  Use with caution.  Also, sorry my lovely African American ladies, this is apparently not good for you.  But I would love info on healthy natural ways to clean your hair to share with others. I look forward to reading your feedback.
