Natural Birth & Parenting
I look like a grease ball! I'm trusting the process, but I feel dirty. :/
Anyway, my main question is how often can I use BS/ACV? I workout five times per week, and I just get gross. Is it okay to use BS/ACV that often?
Also curious about how long everyone's transition period lasted. I know we're all different, but I'm curious.

I always cave after about two weeks and wash it -
I used bs and acv everyday until I could start going a day between. It takes a while for you hair to adjust, it will not happen in the first week or month. I've been doing this since October. I can go a day between maybe two if I dot go anywhere and feeling lazy. -
I also have hard water, I use distilled or cooled boiled water to mix the bs and acv. And rinse in cool water. (Yes it cold!! Brrr) I want to buy a little hook up thing to the shower head with te filter for hard water. They aren't much money. I need to get on that.

I've been dissolving mine, too! :)
Quoting NDFanatik:
I switched to natural shampoos first and did that for a year, so my transition time was easier once I made the leap to no poo. All in all it took me about 3 weeks. I find that if I wash my air more often my scalp will work harder to replenish the oils, whereas if I take a week from washing and then only do it every 3-4 days then my scalp reacts better and my hair looks better. But if you want/need to then you can absolutely use it daily. I'm a manager at a store so I have to look good and that means my hair as well. I've found that blowdrying my hair helps it to look less greasy for longer. Cool air so that I don't get heat damage :) Ooh and one more thing- I find taht *for me* if I dissolve the bs in water before putting it on my hair then my hair feels better. Not sure why, but I discovered that on accident, lol- I put it in a peri bottle now, shake in hot water, and squirt it on.
