Hair Wash, Body Wash, Hand Soap
-
Curious what you all use, I've used baking soda basically exclusively for body wash, hand soap etc and then a mix of egg yolk, methylene blue, and a bit of baking soda for my hair. Works great but I feel kinda retarded whenever people come over and i just have baking soda by my sink, and it also makes a mess. The hair product I make is solid but just annoying to make. So here's what I'm after. Something simple, cheap, and widely available. I don't want any health grifter stuff. I got like a $2 bar of hand soap with solid ingredients from natural grocers I will start using for hand soap and maybe body wash as well. But I'm mostly at a loss with what to use on my hair. I don't want to have to order a product like Bloo just bc its annoying. anything you guys use thats simple and can be found locally that you would recommend? I don't have any extra things I need to address like dandruff or hariloss or anything.

Soap from tallow
The further society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those who speak it.

@Cearrson yeah I’m in the same boat. Mostly just a hot water guy. At times when needed i use apple cider vinegar as a shampoo and then baking soda as conditioner. You don’t need much of either. A tablespoon or more. And your scalp and hair has never been as clean as doing this method. Definitely don’t need to do this every day.
I have beef tallow bar soap around for guest and myself. Kirk’s unscented pump soap is great too. -
You don't really need anything for the hair, just water is enough for it. Shampoo just strips the hair of oils, which makes the body just produce even more oil to compensate. If you have been a long term shampoo user it might take some time to down-adjust the oil levels again. But generally shampoo isn't really all that great for the hair.

I literally use goysoap called "Irish springs". boutique soap is like $10 a bar. not finna paying that. Dove seems alright too but something about the artificial colourings and scents in the super cheap soaps makes me feel fresh and clean.

I used to make my own soap from coconut oil and tallow. It's easy and fairly cheap, but my wife was annoyed by the oils taking up cabinet space and having to leave bars of soap out to age for a month. Now I just use Everyone 3 in 1 body/hair wash. It's got less questionable things than most. I also tried not shampooing my hair for around 6 months, but it never stopped being greasy so I eventually gave that up. I'm just naturally very oily, and my sweat has always smelled really strong. I decided stinky and oily was not for me.

Better than Tyler Durden's soap in Fight Club.

LOL I went through a no-poo phase too and never got the wonderful results other long haired ladies claimed to get. I tried baking soda and apple cider vinegar and that got rid of the grease, but my thigh length hair started breaking off at my shoulders and the vinegar smell stuck with me for days after washing my hair. Never again.
@Cearrson, I use a cleanser made from soapberries, but it isn’t cheap or widely available, however, castile soap is. There’s also a liquid African black soap by the brand Alaffia that I’ve seen at Whole Foods, Walmart, Target and online retailers like Vitacost. It’s cheaper than a basic, liquid castile like Dr. Bronner’s—it averages $13 for 32 oz—and the ingredients are solid—African mint extract, lauryl glucoside, saponified shea butter and palm kernel oil (Fair Trade and Orangutan safe).
