[…] You get tons of Christmas presents, wrapped up in layers and layers of packaging. At first, it feels exciting to be unwrapping all of these gifts. But later, you find yourself disappointed, because, honestly, you don’t need half of the things you’ve received! They are either redundant, don’t fit you, or become forgotten very soon, anyway. We find ourselves accumulating all sorts of things, generating more and more waste. […]

Thanks for sharing this! Wow, that’s really a minimalistic, low-waste hair care routine and I’m so glad it works for you!

Yes, I’ve been learning about the damage which hair care products do to our hair… I’m especially interested in no-poo right now, have you heard of it? I’t s a special technique that allows you to have healthy and clean hair without using ANY products. Still haven’t tried it yet, but will explore it soon 🙂

So many of our wasteful “necessities” become redundant once we turn to more natural products or methods.

I reuse two small jelly jars for my hair products. My shampoo is about 2 tablespoons baking soda in warm water in one jar. My rinse is about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (with the mother) with warm water in the other jar, leaving it on for 3 minutes before rinsing it out.. The shampoo washes much of my body as well. Saves a lot of money and my hair is longer and healthier. I started it when I got desperate after reading the ingredients in health food stores and all of them full of toxins.
