Experimenting with different ways to wash my hair, was something I have done in the past. See oatmeal shampoo.
It's not my favorite thing to do, but sometimes the opportunity presents itself:
So I ran out of my favorite conditioner earlier in the week and did not want to run to the store- I avoid that place.
Anyway, the other conditioner left my hair feeling gross, plus I realized there are probably a lot of hard water and soap build up on my hair. Time to experiment!
I mixed baking soda with my shampoo until I had a paste. Washing your hair with this supposedly takes out the junk. I then did a vinegar rinse. About 1-2 Tbsps apple cider vinegar mixed in about a cup of warm water. One site said not to wash this out, but I didn't want to leave it. Even though people say it doesn't smell after it has dried. Couldn't do it.
The results-
My hair soft, even without conditioner, but incredibly frizzy. (Perhaps because I washed the vinegar out, perhaps because of weather.)
Conclusion-
Fun experiment, nice to get the junk out, now where's the conditioner bottle thank you.
No Shampoo-
There is all sorts of things floating around the internet about washing you hair without shampoo (baking soda and vinegar are big, so is just conditioner.) I tried just conditioner for a while and, yes, it gets your hair clean, but I was using twice as much to do it. Back to the old shampoo and conditioner routine.
Unless anyone has anything better?

You should talk to Andrea about this! She is a pro. I personally can't go without washing my hair the normal way. It loves to get greasy real fast. I use salon shampoo and conditioner, which may be more expensive up front but a bottle lasts me 8 months. (PS Andrea can get you salon shampoo for 1/2 price.)
I may have to talk to her about that. Trying new things on my hair (or any part of me) is scary! I prefer to experiment with food and cleaning product. Thanks for the information!
