Yesterday I had my hair trimmed for spring and learned something interesting from the hairdresser. I requested to only have my hair wet cut rather than washed and cut and casually mentioned that I hadn't used shampoo for a long time and didn't want to start again. I am very happy with my baking soda and apple cider vinegar system.
As the hairdresser was cutting my hair, she inquired as to why I wasn't using 'drugstore' shampoos. I mentioned that I found that my hair seemed to be coated with something and I did not like the feel of it. That's when I learned that 'drugstore' shampoos have wax in them, where as the more expensive 'salon' shampoos did not. She said, that she did not know that until she became a hairdresser herself and then could experience it first hand.
So, I stick with my inexpensive natural system rather than switch to the expensive salon system.
I would love to hear from readers about their thoughts and experiences.

I am a hairdresser, and while I agree with what that hairdresser told you, there is something else that even professional shampoos have - sulfates. Those are the agents that help your shampoo sudse up, and what essentially make most shampoos... detergents.
I just started the Baking Soda/ACV treatment today, and I'm very excited. Keep it up! (Found you through zemanta blogging tool - it pulled you up because you were a related article to my topic, LOL)
