What can I do differently?

Hello! I've been no-poo about 5-6 months. The first 1-2 months I used the BS/ACV method (I honestly don't remember what the ratios were). My hair did NOT respond well. I got down to using it every 3 days and was doing WO washes everyday in between because, well, I just like to start my day with a shower and I find it refreshing to at least wet ( Read more... )

Lots of people here do no 'poo out of animal consideration/because they're vegan, which makes honey (and also egg washes) unpalatable for them. You might have to be a bit more of a pioneer in honey because of that.

How much BS were you using? The generally accepted maximum ratio is 1 tbsp to 1 cup (8 fl oz) of water (and I think most people, including myself, used 1 tsp instead), so if you were dosing it out like you are with the honey and ACV, that DEFINITELY would have fried your hair.

I was trying to remember, I think I got down to just half a teaspoon or less before I gave up on it.

Then it sounds like you weren't ODing on the BS. Unfortunately, since BS worked pretty well for me, I don't have any other suggestions. Maybe you can browse the tags relevant to your hair ( ... )

longhaircommunity.com (a forum site) has a lot more posts about alternate hair washing methods, although the impression I've gotten is that most of them don't like the bs/acv method (there is a post on it, it just isn't very popular there). I'm sure there are more people doing honey washes there, I know that some people at least use them in a rinse, I've even come across a post where they tried to see if it really did lighten hair with frequent use (only a little, I think).
