NO 'Poo Day 1
Started my new experiment with the no 'poo system. I used 1 Tbsp of baking soda to 1 c of water (times 3 to fill the bottle which should last me a couple days) and 1 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar to 1 c of water (again times 3 to fill a bottle) and used the baking soda solution first followed by the vinegar. My hair feels clean so far (it's not dry yet so we'll see how it looks then) and there were no tangles when I combed it out (almost unheard of with my hair). Now I may have to adjust the exact measurements because a lot of the people I've read who do this have short hair so with my longer hair I may need to use a little more than they do (partially because I'm too vain of my hair to actually cut it to make it more manageable, lol). It supposedly takes about a week for the hair to adjust to using these simple cleaning solutions instead of the chemicals in commercial shampoo and conditioner, however, I've gotten into the habit of only washing my hair every other day as it, with only shampooing once instead of twice and not conditioning every time I wash it too. I've noticed it has not appeared to be dirty really, maybe a little oily by the end of the second day, but we'll see how this goes. Will keep posting for the first several days on the progress, then will probably go to every few days if I keep this routine.
