Woman Replaced Shampoo With Vinegar: How Her Hair Started Looking After 70 Days

At the start of 2023, TikTok’s top beauty trend was shampoo rejection – we’ve covered that in detail here. Several months have passed since then, and the hashtag #noshampoo continues to gain thousands of new mentions. And that’s making more and more new followers go for “natural” hair care.

Last spring, blogger Ellie (@paunchypeach) also decided to forego balm and shampoo. Instead, she first washes her hair with baking soda, then rinses it with apple cider vinegar.

“I’m not going to lie, the first 5-6 weeks were not easy for me. The hair was very straight, the hand reaching for the air conditioner, ”the woman confesses.

Ellie also said that the only time in more than two months she had washed her hair with shampoo – simply because there was no soda at home. However, the woman does not plan to return to standard care products.

“I don’t like the smell of vinegar, but once my hair dries it disappears. Otherwise, this method works best. If you need a sign to finally try giving up shampoo, then this is it,” the tiktoker states.
