After a two minute convo with Rae....

I have decided to go shampoo free. Yes. Really. It's been two days, but whenever I say it out loud it does freak me out. I mean, I'm the girl who will spend over $130.00 getting her hair done, and not even bat an eyelash at a $70.00 TRIM....I buy $20.00 HAIRSPRAY and to begin to discuss the amount of money I have spent trying to find the right shampoo and conditioner would be absolutely horrifying. So I won't.

Regardless, I'm quitting shampoo. I've read extensively now online, and am extremely excited to see what happens. It's summer anyway, if it sucks, nobody will really notice. I wear my hair in braids constantly now anyway.

I do however, oddly, feel cleaner. Like I'm committing to something that is better for me, and our septic tank. Then again, it could be the fact that because my husband is a STUD and got me a commercial-grade Schwinn spin bike(retail: approx. $3800.00....for FREE!!! He works at a place, begged some people shamelessly for 6 months, made my dream come true.)and the working out makes me happier in general, but I feel better. I'm more aware of when I get "full" and I'm simply elated to be alive. *Sunshine is very obviously good for me*

So here I am, day two of nopoo and my hair is doing pretty well. I am still using conditioner, but will wean that out in a week or so and switch to solely cider vinegar and baking soda. I'll keep you posted, don't worry ;)

oooh, you're hardcore! weaning conditioner too! i'm so excited to see how this goes! i've been tempted to hit up the apple cider vinegar myself, but have just been lazy. i might jump off the edge with you now.

remember, i have that recipe for hairspray and i have all of the ingredients for it. just let me know if you're interested and we can whip up a batch.

i have recipes for tons of other stuff too (toner, bug repellent, deodorant, etc...). we could have a little hygiene concoction get together.
