The No-Poo thing has continued! Thank Jesus for winter weather because a few days there I never could have left the house if it weren’t for being able to wear a hat.
And I’m SOO glad I pushed myself through the rugged days because I finally see actual undeniable improvement. I didn’t do too great of a job taking pictures or keeping a journal with every detail every day.. 
I did cheat a little bit too … I found this 70% organic shampoo made by Avalon Organics – and I used it 3 times over the last 4 weeks – I would absolutely recommend you try it – but the whole point of going without shampoo is to not use shampoo! So, that’s why I’ve only used it a few times.
Also, I usually use this mousse by Giovanni Cosmetics. The company website is ridiculously fancy but this product is also supposedly healthier than regular hair mousse. I’d agree that it works well, not a miracle product (for me anyway) but still nice and I would buy it again. 
So this is day 6. My hair didn’t look too great but I could feel that build-up loosening.
On Day 8 after a vinegar and beer rinse, it was all a mess, but pieces were curly and kind of cute. (I couldn’t get a very good picture.)
Halloween (day 12) I was dressed in 80′s and had to have big hair to match.
This first picture is how my hair looked that morning when I got up and brushed it with a round-barrel brush (also I was half-way finished with putting on my rockin 80′s make-up, I don’t always look like a clown!)
Then I used loads of hairspray and backcombed most of it. The look was totally 80′s, but all that torture felt like a bit of a set-back.
The next day I washed it with crazy potion I mixed and it looked pretty cute.
The concoction I created was some kind of pineapple-papaya reduction, and I did really like how it made my hair look but it smelled really bad and at one point I had to plug my nose and dump it all out because I was convinced I would start puking if I smelled it just one more time. I think the pineapple was a good idea, not the papaya but I haven’t made any more to find out. 
So it’s getting easier and I don’t have to rinse my hair every day, I’m still experimenting with ingredients and different combinations.
A pretty reliable combo I found was using baking soda mixed with glycerin, rinse it with vinegar water, then pour on a beer (room temp.) but it doesn’t leave you smelling too great.
So I’m going to this concert (Day 28) and need my hair to be big, puffy, and able to stay that way all night. Instead of hairspray, I whipped two egg whites until they got foamy, added a little vanilla ( I read that the alcohol prevents any bad smell)
I also mixed in a bunch of glitter since I was going to a concert
No lie, this is 3 days later, same vanilla-egg-white hair, unrinsed. It does look a little dusted in this picture, I think that might be from the glitter, but I didn’t put any powder on to absorb oils or anything, I just ran a straightener through it.
it’s been a month, and I think my hair has grown almost an entire inch – but I could be wrong and exaggerating, but seriously, look at the pictures!
And that’s the No-Poo story so far
I know I know, it’s been a really long time since I posted anything
And that pretty much rhymed
