6 Months and NO SHAMPOO.

So I read a blog about a woman who hasn't washed her hair in like 3 years. She said she tried the baking soda+vinegar thing at it didn't work for her. It had been working for me until I bleached out my hair and put color in. Yeah not the best idea health wise. But after that the baking soda vinegar thing was NOT working.

 So I'm going to try this ladies method except in my own way. She says she just does nothing except rinse it with water. I'm actually still washing my scalp. Sometimes I just scrub it really hard with my fingers or I was just sometimes using my husbands crappy body soap which is probably full of junk anyway too and it was leaving an awful residue behind. So my hair was/is feeling quite nasty.

I was feeling like giving up but someone recommended Castille soap and swears that it leaves no residue. So I've ordered it. I will update on how the Castille works. I bought Dr. Bronner's.

Sooo anyway.....after hearing about castille I've decided to take a six month challenge to not wash my hair with shampoo. And wash it with castille a couple times a week. If the castille doesn't work I'll just try the water rinsing and deal with the greasiness. The lady in the blog claims it takes a few months for your hair to adjust. I'm giving it six. So December 2014 We will see where I am at then!

How is my hair doing after a week or two of the no shampoo? It is greasy and full of soap residue. It doesn't smell bad but it doesn't smell good. I can tell that my head feels different and that bugs me. It's hard not to be able to run my hair through freshly clean, stripped hair and conditioned hair. BUT it is much easier to do victory rolls. Like a million times easy. My pin-up hairstyles are such a breeze. When before they took tons of time and tons of freeze spray. So I'm digging that part. I'll check back in soon! And the photo below is what my hair looks like today.
