"No poo" Update...

It's been exactly seven weeks since I headed down this path of not using conventional shampoo. I have to say, my hair feels great! It's taken some time to figure out what works for my hair and I definitely went through an adjustment period. There was a point when I really wasn't sure if this was going to work but what can I say, I'm stubborn! Or maybe determined is a more positive word, either way I pushed forward.
        It all started one day when I decided to look into homemade shampoo recipes and instead stumbled upon the concept of going "no poo". The idea of no longer using chemicals to clean and condition my hair was a welcoming thought. And, the thought that my scalp would start producing less oil since it would no longer be stripped of it's natural oils which causes the scalp to overcompensate, sounded like a no brainer to me! So here I am, poo free and lovin' it!

My current regimen: 1 teaspoon of baking soda mixed with 2 cups of warm water, scrub scalp well and rinse. Follow with half a squeezed lemon in 2 cups warm water and rinse. **If my scalp is getting a little flaky I do white vinegar mixed with equal parts water, scrub scalp well and rinse well. I do this before the baking soda wash.

Shampoo free at 7 weeks! I was a little hesitant to post this pic since I am in dire need of a trim but, here's to a good cause!
