No Shampoo Updates 2/5/13
February 6, 2013 at 2:55 AM | Posted in No Shampoo | Leave a commentI last blogged about my new hair regimen a month ago. Time for updates. So far I’m sticking with it and like it. I would be lying if I told you it has been easy!
This so called “transition phase” I read about has certainly made me second guess my new experiment. I want from oily to stringy to super dry and eventually caved for just one day **one little day** of shampoo and conditioner. The best way I can think to share updates is with photos. Yes, these are selfies. I normally don’t take photos of myself but since one of my best buds is also doing this whole “no poo” thing with me, I occasionally texted her some photos with updates. Yes, at times I’m making a funny face to show my distaste for my hair of the day. I am not the only one in the house going the “no poo” route. My toddler is shampoo free as well. Since he can’t completely talk, he isn’t complaining. I feel better that he is also going the more natural route.
Day 3 – Baking soda certainly cleans my hair. It was a few days before I got ACV which lead to a bit of static.
Day 5 – Really liking my new change, happy with my hair!
Day 6 – You can somewhat see how brittle my hair was here. I NEEDED to condition but didn’t have any ACV yet.
Day 6 (end of day) – Not good. Not good at all. I looked greasy and felt like I had straw for hair. This was my first big challenge day where I doubted my new hair experiment.
Day 11 – Don’t do what I did. I read that I could use a teeny amount of coconut oil to condition my hair. Not good for my hair. I looked like I had stringy , wet hair all day. It took a good few days to wash out, too.
Day 19 – I regulated my ends a little but noticed because my hair got so brittle I was dealing with breakage. I also noticed dander. I was really unhappy and with the help of my friend also doing “no poo” learned that I might have hard water. I started boiling my baking soda/water mixture and started washing my hair from dry THEN rinsing. That helped but it was too late. I needed to hit reset so I shampooed and conditioned my hair. **SIN** BUT it helped so much and I’m back to my BS/ACV routine.
Day 31 – I’m happy! My hair feels good and smells good. Grapefruit is my essential oil of choice. I need a hair cut but and am in the awkward bang length phase. Other than that my hair is just like it was 2 months ago, maybe a little happier now that I am washing with baking soda and conditioning with apple cider vinegar.
