Hi herb-gal,

Thanks for the comment at my blog! It's my very first! Being no-poo is not bad, since the results are AWESOME IMHO! My scalp is normal as a result, meaning not too oily, not too dry. It also affected my curl pattern alot, making my hair curlier, and hence thinker.

I do was my hair, but in the no-poo method, without shampoo. It takes a long time to wash(close to 1 hour) since I'm using baking soda as shampoo, and its really hard to cover all my hair with it, and do my scalp too. The baking soda is hard to deal with I find esp. with my curly hair.

Thanks for pointing out the Beauty Tips forum. I didn't know about the homemade shampoos, but I'm definatly going to check that out! I currently have a thread going their (i think) about what people use to keep their face fresh. You should check it out. For the new year, I really wanted to make some life changes before I head back to school in September so, I thought this would be a good way to start
