No pooers I need some encouragement
in Green Living
I'm in week 3 of no poo...it will be 4 weeks Sunday. The first 1.5 weeks went great and I was loving the whole thing, then it got ugly. I had read up on the transition period and was feeling like I could stick it out, but its taking longer than I thought. My hair is still feeing really weighted down and yucky even right after I shower. Please tell me it's almost over and soon I will realize the lushious locks no poo can bring!
Also, my hair is really tangly after I shower. I have been mostly just letting it do a natural curly/wavy thing but sometimes I like it straight. If I were to buy some detangler to help me get through the mess, would that totally set back what I've worked toward?
Re: No pooers I need some encouragement
Well I 'no poo" to have better hair, so I buy pre made products. I use DevaCurl NoPoo, and Giovanni leave in. Both have great slip I can comb and style easily. I tried the baking soda ACV thing once and decided it wasnt for me. I had no slip and I was loosing hair trying to comb. I add baking soda to the Deva no poo or I use Giovanni 50/50 clarifying shampoo when my hair starts to feel weighted down.
I honestly read your post thinking you meant you were not going to the bathroom. It took me a while to realize you weren't SHAMpooing.
I am really slow today
Oh and I am no help, I shampoo and condition everyday
My hair is straight and really long. If I'm in a hurry and need to get the tangles out quickly I use a spray bottle with some watered down EF conditioner just on the ends.
Eco-friendliness seems to involve many spray bottes, why not one more!
For real.
I have had a better time since adding essential oil in the ACV. I also comb it through in the shower, because my hair does tangle a lot. I have also started using more than 1 tsp. of baking soda. i just have a lot of hair.
