So, it's been a week for no shampoo. Now...just to gross you out a bit...I generally went a week with out shampooing *anyway*, at least in the winter when I'm not working. YES, I bathed, and rinsed my hair in water, I just didn't shampoo...partly because I have pink in my hair, and partly 'cause I just didn't feel the need. I *did* however do 3 soda/vinegar washes this week.
Why did I do 3 when I generally only shampoo once? My head smelled more heady than normal. I bet that will calm down though...extra oil? no detergent? who knows...maybe it was the hat I was wearing...
or maybe I just have to get used to smelling like a human rather than a bottle.
I'm hooked though. My head feels clean, and my hair feels GREAT.
I'm wishing I had taken a photo before I did it last week. I *have* used product. My short hair looks like crud when I don't. I'll see if that stops being an issue in time though. If not, I'll look into natural product, I think I remember a link a friend shared on the facebook about the only natural hair product she could find...
A fun thing. My hair squeaks when I'm rinsing out the BS, just like shampoo, so if you are afraid it won't be squeaky clean...it will!
Yay for a fellow no-pooer! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been having fun looking up all kinds of natural hair product recipes that I could make...here's just one of the fun sites I found - http://www.longlocks.com/hair-care-recipes-cookbook.htm#fix1 :)
I ended up making a detangler for my hair that has grapeseed oil and glycerin, among other things, and I've found that it also works well as a gel. Good luck! :)
