3rd Day No, 'Poo...4th day still " "

Okay first the recap from the results of day two:  It had a lot more body and bounce.  It was curly but like I had hot rolled it.  NOt my regular tight more spiral curl.  I kept in in a pony tail cause it was really windy when we were walking around the Heritage Fest on our way to go see Spider Man & Hulk!

DAY THREE

Before going to the Heritage Fest I did take a shower however . . .

For hair care:  I brushed it out before hoping in (I've decided that brushing my hair thoroughly is going to help stimulate my scalp.  I'm sure some of you dare I say 'old' folks remember the brady bunch episode where Marsha is brushing her hair 100 time on each side???  There must be something too it).

Then rinsed with water and did a nice little massage with the warm water just before putting 3-4 table spoons of white vinegar on it.  I massaged that all in combed through all the hair added about 1 table spoon vinegar to the ends and let it sit on my hair while I washed all my other bits.

Rinsed with warm water to make sure all the vinegar was out then rinsed with coldwater.  No styling products.

DAY FOUR

Massage with warm water and White Vinegar Rinse.

Rinse with warm water and then again with cold.

No styling products.

RESULTS

I kept it in a pony tail for church today because it was still wet when we left the house.  When I took it out later it was curly and had nice body, but the ends felt kind of rough like they needed some conditioner or something.  I haven't had a lot of greasey yucky scalp like I was expecting.  So I take that to mean that my body was not over producing oil to compensate for striping it from my hair.  Way to go LUSH natura, handmade Shampoo Bars.  I'm not thrilled with the ends right now.  They seem like they are in horrible condition as far as to the touch.  I know they aren't though because my hair is pretty healthy to begin with.  I may need to look up some more about natural conditioning or something.  The other option is to cut back on the vinegar rinse and switch to the Apple Cidar Vinegar as well.

More later on the No 'Poo network!

Hey Stephanie!   It's

Hey Stephanie!

 

It's great to hear your account on going no 'poo.  I tried it over a year ago and stayed no poo for over 6 months.  I gave up because I had a really hard time dealing with our hard water and I started getting build up.  I use all natural, no chemical stuff so I hope at least it's a better choice.

You could try coconut oil for conditioning your ends.  I have a friend who has gone no 'poo and has curly hair.  She found the coconut oil to be helpful.

Good luck!
