Ahh… (an ode to the no-‘poo)

imageThe pleasure – the TINGLE – of freshly-washed hair & scalp is just something you cannot possibly experience if you’re throwing shampoo at it every day. 

Shampoo may give you clean hair, though that’s debatable (especially if it includes a conditioner that coats and weights your hair down again at the same time).  It may give you smooth hair, silky hair, full hair, bouncy hair (all things your hair probably could be on its own if you stopped dousing it with shampoo every day) .

It doesn’t WASH your hair in the way that a mop washes floors or last night’s heavy rains washed away a two-week dry spell. 

imageIt is just that refreshing. 

It’s such a good feeling that I ALMOST wish my hair needed washing more often.  But, of course, because I don’t use shampoo, it doesn’t. 

So until next time – my hair will decide when that is – I just want to say “thanks, no-‘poo!”

    I do like the clean feeling using the baking soda & acv. And it always combs out tangle free. My only problem is that it's hard to get used to not having it lather up like shampoo. When I sprinkle (or pour) the baking soda on and try and work it through my hair it just doesn't feel like I'm doing anything. I just need to get past that because I really do feel like my hair gets cleaner.

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
