No ’Poo Week 3

This is day 21 of the No'Poo experiment. I went away this past weekend, and the only comment I had about my hair was that the haircut looked good. I can't go more than two days without washing it, even if it's just a water-only wash, because it loses the style. Seems to look best the day *after* I cleanse with shikakai powder.

This week the innovation I'm trying is to cut out the essential oils and the vinegar and see what happens to the grease factor. All week, I'm going to try just water only and Powder Puff. Once this detox period is over, water only should suffice.

I'm hoping eventually I will discover the natural wave in my hair. It does come out after a few days; shampoo was definitely tamping it down. So does blowdrying, which I occasionally do because I can't stand sitting around in a cold apartment with a wet head. Summer seems a fruitful time to explore the wave and the air drying potential.
