I found bicarbonate de soude and it is very different than using baking powder (which is bicarb de soude mixed with cream of tartar). I quite enjoyed the baking powder version, but it seems stronger than just bicarb de soude. I will give the baking soda another try and see how it goes... Hi Guen,

I will give the baking soda another try and see how it goes…

I'm French too. In little enveloppes, it's baking power, eg sodium bicarbonate plus tartar cream... you don't want that acid tartar cream on your head! Go to Chinese supermarkets, they have baking soda. Just ask for plain "bicarbonate de soude". You can as well as to your pharmarcist. Best regards. /g Hello,

The point of the whole thing was that your hair shouldn't be itchy. If it is, there is something else going on. For a full report on exactly how to go noShampoo, read the latest post, <a href="http://noshampoo.org/2009/11/17/the-definitive-guide-to-going-noshampoo/" rel="nofollow">the definitive guide to going noshampoo</a>. Using shampoo at all will really ruin the whole project. The basic idea is that your body really knows how to take take care of itself. The only thing you need is a little perfume occasionally, if you like it. If, as you said, you like thick strands of hair, noshampoo will certainly work. -D Hey Chris,

Do you mean it was useless washing it, or just useless because you just used it once? "So I did another wash with baking soda..." Was it better(not itchy) after the second time washing your hair, or after some more times using baking soda? I also have another question: I'm not shampoo free already but I think about it. I like my hair(male,around 6inch long)sticking a bit together in strands so i don't use a brush.(Cobain-like) But when i have all this stuff on my scalp, and I don't dispense it all over my hair, is that a problem, or is it enough scraping my skin a bit with my fingers? Hope you can help me, otherwise: trial and error :-) Thx and greetings from Germany Chris “My head was still itchy, which was the only reason I washed in the first place!”
