No Shampoo – New York City Edition

In my blue-eyed fantasy of New York, I was sure that I would be able to get my hands on anything. That?s why I only brought enough Rhassoul clay for 1 hair wash, I was certain, that it would be the easiest thing to get a hold of. I was wrong.
It either isn?t here, or I?ve been looking in all the wrong places (New York is kind of a big city). I then decided to try Bentonite clay, and let me just tell you NOT to do that! I?ve made that mistake for you to learn from, you?re welcome!

So after a few days of searching, and really bad hair days, due to the Bentonite (thank God for caps!) I decided on plan B; find something else! In this case an old fashioned shampoo ?soap bar?.

I found this J. R. LIGGET’S soap bar, when desperately searching the isles at Whole Foods. I was searching for anything natural-ish, that I could clean my hair with, anything! And there it was:) An earth friendly and people friendly (at least that?s what it says on the package) shampoo soap bar. I was SO happy, I knew all of the ingredients on the list, no chemicals, no plastic bottle, only pure natural vegetable oils.
I went straight home to try it out, and it worked perfectly! I?m not giving up clay, but I might try to copy  this soap bar myself  at home:)

Inspirational book, new things to try! And my favourite Mason brush<3

I love trying out new things and getting inspiration, clay doesn?t work for everyone, so the more natural alternatives to traditional shampoo there is out there, the better:) I would have loved for this bar to be fragrance free and maybe organic, but I might be able to do that myself. This was a great alternative, I even used the bar all over my body, and my skin felt really soft afterwards. Products like these, that can substitute for many different products, makes my life even easier and simpler. I get a kick out of it every time I discover a new use! #whateverflipsyourpancake
My bad hair days were over, and I got inspiration for a new shampoo to try at home #winwin. I always buy products with simple ingredients, to test and see if I can make them myself, or maybe improve another recipe. I found a cool new dry shampoo in Whole Foods, but after one use, I realised that the one I make, is way better;) See the recipe here #simplyliving #simplybeauty
