Shampoo-free update

I washed my hair tonight with my baking soda mixture followed by an apple cider vinegar-water rinse for the first time in five days which is when I started going "shampoo-free."  Honestly, I probably could have gone at least another day without a wash, but a sweaty day at the park made me want to start with a fresh head again.

                                                               

I have to say I am really impressed with how this is going so far.  My hair feels incredibly light right now.  With commercial shampoo and conditioner, my hair felt so weighed down after a washing.  I also notice that with just  some quick flat ironing and shine serum the morning after a wash I am frizz-free day after day after day.  Oh and in case you’re wondering, I’m still taking showers but just putting my hair up in between washings.  I just had to say that.

I took this picture just before jumping into the shower.  I wish I would have brushed my hair to show some bounce, but you get what you get.

I know, awesome picture.

This next picture shows how my looks air-dried.  A little dry but not bad for some household items and water.

(In regard to the oil-cleansing method, I am still being a wuss and only using the castor oil.  I really want to incorporate maybe some jojoba oil to moisturize, but I think I will wait maybe a month before putting my face into shock.  In the meantime, I do notice that my skin is brighter, and my tone is starting to even out.)

Tomorrow I’m going to try snapping some photos for a much overdue “Day in Pictures” post that I should have on here Friday morning.  I had fun with the last one I did, so I hope to get one out once a month from now on.  :)
