Introduction and reasons for giving up shampoo7:06
Welcome to Happy Hair Detox! I am Lucy, shampoo-free for three years and writer for Cosmopolitan magazine. I want to guide you through these first few weeks without shampoo.
People give up shampoo in order to:

save money

ditch toxins

stop animal testing

prevent more landfill

discover beautiful hair (surprisingly!)

Knowing your own reasons for giving up shampoo can make a bit difference in sticking to your guns when the going gets tough! Come and join my Facebook group for peer to peer support! https://www.facebook.com/groups/570382213160248/

The best alternatives to shampoo - work out which alternative will suit you8:01
There are lots of alternatives to shampoo. Here I discuss some of the most common ones:

Baking Soda/ Bicarbonate of Soda (especially good for detox!)

Clay (perfect for more volume)

Egg (great for damaged hair)

Soapnuts (great for hard water!)

It will take some experimentation to discover which one works best for you hair.

Alternatives to conditioner - work out which one will suit you best.6:19
Here I discuss some of the most common alternative conditioners:

Acid Rinse (always follow up clay and baking soda with an acid rinse for pH balance)

Oils (curly hair especially loves oils - jojoba is a nice light one for lank hair)

Tea (these work really well after transition and are good for scalp issues)

Juice (aloe vera is a classic and applesauce can be great for waxy hair!)

*Bonus* Caring for your hair long term5:55
There ARE people out there who have successfully given up shampoo and continue to use heat styling and chemical dyes on their hair. I am becoming increasingly convinced that healthy hair is vital in order to achieve gorgeous locks.
Do consider:

Alternative, natural dyes such as henna, teas and walnut powder

Using velcro curlers or headband curls for volume and waves

Natural hair styling products

Giving up heat styling

Many thanks! Lets keep in touch through the Facebook group!
