About the no shampoo thing...I've read a bit more about it from other sources, and apparently in order for it to work the best, it has to be a very gradual switch over to the natural. They recommend using less and less shampoo, then switching to a shampoo soap (less harsh) or bar, and then trying the whole baking soda/vinegar wash.  I have tried it a few times, and thus far it's felt really great on my scalp, has left my hair feeling soft and easy to style, but still feeling a bit too oily for me. So today I bought some Castile Soap from Trader Joe's and will try that for a while....wish me luck!  It's fun to experiment and see how close we can get to eliminating our use of chemicals....Ok, at least I think it's fun...Brent doesn't fully understand and at times thinks I'm wacko...=) That's ok....I'm full of surprises....=)
