No ‘poo experiment: Week 3

WEEK 3: No ‘poo experiment

Day 1 (Sunday): No wash.

Day 2 (Monday): Water-only. Use Kiss My Face styling mousse. Looks good: shiny, bouncy.

Day 3 (Tuesday): Water-only. Styling mousse. Looks good. BUT I keep catching a little whiff of dirty hair (hey, it’s been 100-plus-degrees for a week, and I do sweat).

Day 4 (Wednesday): Try the A Wild Soapbar again, followed by ACV rinse. Styling mousse. Looks fine. Feels hella waxy/coated. I guess the ACV just isn’t for me.

Day 5 (Thursday): Water-only. Styling mousse, dash of Aloe 80 spray.

Day 6 (Friday): Water-only. Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Styling Creme.

Day 7 (Saturday): Wash with diluted Dr. Bronner’s Eucalyptus castile soap. Rinse with Dr. Bronner’s Citrus conditioning rinse. In the shower, the conditioning rinse made my hair feel heavy and silky. Very nice. No styling product–a departure for me.

Week 3 Hair (ignore the angry eyes)

Week 3 Hair, Crown still seems dry

No ‘poo experiment: Week 2

WEEK 2: No ‘poo experiment

Day 1 (Sunday): Wash with A Wild Soapbar Cedarwood soap. Ingredients: Ingredients: saponified cold pressed olive, coconut, organic palm, & castor oils, distilled water, essential oils (fir needle, cedarwood, bay, orange), moroccan red clay, calcium bentonite clay, organic paprika, sea salt, wild cedar wood. Rinse with ACV. Lavender spritz. Hair looks OK. Soft, but curls are a little frizzy.

Day 2 (Monday): Water-only. Lavender spritz, a drop of jojoba oil. Hair looks OK, not great.

Day 3 (Tuesday): Water-only. Aloe 80 spray, lavender spritz. Hair looks OK, not great. Feels crunchy, dry.

Day 4 (Wednesday): Water-only. Curls on top layer look all right. Underneath layer is stringy, oily.

Day 5 (Thursday): Rinse with Pomegranate Goji Berry Green Tea. Eh. Still just “coated”, waxy.

Day 6 (Friday): I break down and use my Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Grapefruit & Sugar Beet shampoo (No sulfates, 98.8% natural, they claim). Spritz with lavender. Hair feels quite nice. Really tight curls.

Day 7 (Saturday): No wash. Wet hair in sink. Use Kiss My Face styling mousse. Hair looks pretty good, bouncy.
