What bar soap do you use? My aunt washes her hair with Zest soap and she loves it.
I still use hair products, I don't know how to get around it, if anyone does please let me know. No problem rinsing them out.
Right now I'm using Kiss My Face Olive Oil soap. I have used many brands: Herbaria, Dr. Bronner's, Burt's Bees (you have to be careful this brand isn't necessarily all-natural anymore), and various homemade soaps I bought on etsy.com. The results have been pretty much the same for all.
It's important to note that if you're going to try the no-poo method your hair is going to suck for 2-3 weeks, I don't think there is a way around it. When you shampoo your hair you're stripping it of all its natural oils, hence the need for conditioner. Because of this unbalance your hair actually produces more oil to make up for the loss so when you stop using this method of washing your hair will be over-oily and honestly it's going to feel yuck. It's so worth sticking out though.
