• Hi Allison, No, I have never heard of these before. I did a search and I see it is mostly marketed as a natural laundry detergent. I couldn’t find much about people using it as a shampoo. But I guess it is that natural and right of the tree, it is p…

• Hi Lucy. I am glad the clay worked for you. Yes, if you really want to get the oil out get the green clay and just mix it with equal parts water. Leave it on for half on hour – you hair will be very dry and clean. The jaborandi plant sounds interest…

• Hi Lucy You used red clay? Oh, my clay was different then – it was Benotite (sp?) – it is green clay. Maybe the red clay is less drying. Although, I think my hair was alot dryer than yours before I put mine on. You said yours was pretty oily. Did th…

• Hi Lucy Yes, maybe the fuzz will go one day – when I think about the fact that I have been shampooing and conditioning every day for SOOO long – I don’t blame my hair for taking its sweet time to heal. I am not too worry about it – as long as the wh…

• Hi Lucy Yes, I feel fine about the clay. I didn’t feel tired or anything after using it. It felt like I had a huge helmet on my head after it dried though! I am actually planning on doing a Detox bath which is for mercury which I think I will NOT ge…

• Hi Lucy, I have heard about urine for hair but never got around to trying it as I always forget to collect it.(although, right now, I do not think my pee is very healthy as I believe I have an internal yeast problem so I probably won’t try with for …

• Spiritedmama- that’s great! I am happy i am inspiring people! I kinda wonder if most people had pretty dready hair naturally before combs were invented. I am sure their hair stayed pretty clean with just water rinsing and getting some sun on their h…

• Ugh, yes, my hair is super dry – not sure i like it. It is still air drying and I am afraid to comb it right now. Lucy, have you done the clay before than? I am hoping I didn’t ruin my 2 months of no shampoo. I guess I won’t be doing anything to my …

• I am sitting here with the clay on my head right now. I just did the mix with water and put it on dry hair. I think next time I’ll wet my hair first and than put it on – just because it gets so tangily with the dry hair. I am going to wait 1/2 hour …

• kauaigirl – Thanks for the clay recipe! I have some of the Bentonite clay but it says to mix with ACV. The ACV dried out my hair so I didn’t really want to use that. I am plannning on doing my detox bath tonight which is mostly Bentonite Clay so I a…

• kauaigirl – Sounds like your going to stick with it then? So great! I did notice an increased shedding for about a week (I think it was in my 5th week) and I was freaking about a bit but than it stopped – but my hair didn’t seem any thinner. I think…

• Lucy, that is so great! I am so glad it is working for you! I noticed that lots of people are interested in trying this since I have been posting on here and on a few other sites. I would say almost 10 people so far are saying they are trying this n…

• ecclecticchameleon – Lemon juice would probably be your best bet. BUT there is also a food grade hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide can also bleach your hair although it is alot weaker than bleach. You can get some at rawfood.com. I haven’t tri…

• Salad_Loving_Violinist, That is so great! More inspiration for all of us! It only took you a week! Wow! Lucky you! I don’t care how long it takes me – I am sticking with it as I like it this way! I figure that 2 months or so is nothing to wait in co…

• writeeternity – You are correct about the sun and swimming. I have talking to one girl on another raw forum who hasn’t washed her hair in years – she spends alot of time in the outdoors and sun and get her hair wet very often (either in fresh water …

• Well, I think my hair is finally getting there. It doesn’t feel so oily and heavy today. I didn’t rinse yesterday as I was too buys. Weird thing is that my hair feels dry and a bit stiff today (maybe that product buildup is making its way down my ha…

• Om – I used to use Kiss my Face hair care products also. There was nothing “wrong” with my hair when I was shampooing it – it was clean and full and in good shape -“normal”. The reason you don’t have “build-up” or “oils” in your hair is because you …

• Here are some of the links I have been following in my “transition” to no shampoo (or “no ‘poo” as it is called). I want to just be doing water only rinses. Some people do a baking soda/ACV vinegar rinse. Some people do other sorts of rinses (like w…

• The “Raw Mochochino” posted in the recipes tastes amazing like coffee too me and I used to be a coffee addict. I served it at a Raw Brunch and people said it tasted like coffee.

• When I was still drinking coffee a few years ago, my bf wanted to try to find out if raw coffee could be made so I would have that instead of the regular coffee. Apparently, at the time, there was a raw food restaurant in San Fran that did it – I ca…

• I do not a regular supplement of it but I make a raw “sour creme” that I use the Power Dophilus in. Lets just say I always have a batch of my sour cream made so I eat it alot and mix it into things like my quac or creamy soup. So, I get my Dophilus …

• 811 is Dr. Doug Graham’s low-fat, high-fruit raw vegan regimen (811rv in short). I don’t know that much details about it. I think it is close to being like “high Fruitarian”. I guess there is a book called 80/10/10 – not sure what the percentages ar…

• if you dont think you can go without smoothies, get a Vortex hand crank blender. It will make you some decent fruit or veggie smoothies. You just need to have something (like a picnic table) to attach it to to make the hand-cranking easier. I have o…
