I haven't used body gel in at least two years, except that one day I realized I was spraying Roundup -while wearing summer clothes- when volunteering in Israeli "Eco Lodges". I usually just rinse my body and use natural deo afterwards.
I went three months without using anything on my hair (shampoo or "no-poo" baking soda and vinegar) after I was inspired by the blog of some girl who managed to keep her hair naturally clean without washing it. I started in Spain surrounded by hippy-ish people who didn't really mind, but afterwards my family were always complaining that my hair looked greasy, or dull, and that sometimes dandruff was visible. Please take note that I was on a S€Diet at that time (and still am, although I have been more active in researching raw or open-minded communities in my region, and have been planning a transitioning program that I feel I am ready to follow. Isolation from following a raw diet has been my main concern, but I realize that if I don't try it I'll never know for sure).
My hair got noticeably less greasy at the end of these three months, but the results were not satisfying enough for me to pursue past this point. I'm sure you guys following a raw diet will have much better results. My dog who eats a raw balanced diet has perfect, shiny, non-stinky hair, unlike the other dogs I meet who are fed on kibble and who's hair are greasy and have that typical dog smell which impregnates the whole house.
