Is There A Way To Remove Cones Without Shampooing?

[Faith]

Is there a way to remove cones from hair without using an off the shelf/mainstream shampoo?
Only shampoo I use now is shikakai powder and my hair is loving it but I also love cones so I need to deal with that as well.
Would baking soda do it? I used to use baking soda to give slip and stop my strands from tangling but is it enough for cones?

Thanks

I was going to suggest Baking Soda, thats what I prefer as a clarifier

baking soda removes dirt and residue, but not cones. you need a sulfate-shampoo for that.

Try an ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) rinse that should do the job

Faith, what did shampoo ever do to you? Why no love? Even shampoo needs love yanno?

There's a post that talked about including some water soluble ones. Maybe those can be washed off w/o shampoo. I have no problems with cones or shampoo so this has never been an issue for me. Anyway, here's the post.

^^ I have nothing against them but my hair is not a big fan. I have not used shampoo since mid January and my hair has been softer and just looks better. I do use shikakai which is a cleansing powder..lol...you're funny. Thanks for the link.

Thanks Checkmate.

I don't generally use cones unless I straighten. The last time I straightened I used castille soap instead of shampoo and it seemed to work. I just did not dilute the soap as much as I normally do. I've only done it once though.

It matters which cones. In my blog entry, silicone 101, there is info about which cleansers get rid of which cones

So castile soap is effective?
