Any VERY natural alternatives to soap, shampoo, hair conditioner?

I don't mean skipping deodorant, but does anyone know of household products to use in place of store bought things that contain chemicals. Don't bother listing natural products sold by companys, I'm interested in simple ingredients (like olive oil for skin moisturizer.) thanx!Any VERY natural alternatives to soap, shampoo, hair conditioner?
Well, for the hair conditioner you can use vinegar, it helps make your hair shiny. I believe some vinegar is distilled so forget mixing it with water. If you diluted it you wouldn't get the most out of it anyways.Any VERY natural alternatives to soap, shampoo, hair conditioner?
Deodorant: Baking soda, preferably organic.

(note: this recipe uses vinegar at the end of it, so this could probably be considered a combination shampoo and conditioner recipe, as the vinegar acts as a conditioner as well as a cleaner.)





For Dry Hair: Put Aloe Vera Gel through your hair.





Skin Moisturizer: As you said, Olive Oil!





For Hives, Itchy Skin, or any kind of skin problem: Aloe Vera Gel combined with Vitamin E Oil, or just Aloe Vera Gel alone.
Well, you could use soap. You can make soap out of olive oil. It's fun, but probably buying it would be less time consuming and maybe less expensive (www.frenchsoapstore.com). You can then use the soap for showering and shampooing. If you massage coconut oil into your scalp and run it through your hair at night you won't need a conditioner in the morning.
For soft and shiny hair, after you've shampooed, rub one tablespoon of apple cider onto your hair, then wash it out and condition. On the second was before you shower pour half a cup of olive oil on your hair, and leave for one hour. Then wash and condition.
Apple cider vinegar rinse. Mix Apple Cider Vinegar 1 part to 2 parts water, douse your hair in the shower and rinse with cold water. This makes your hair soft and shiny.





Chamomile tea bags for your eyes are great for puffiness.
