So this is going to sound insane!
Trust me!
I have not used Shampoo on my hair for 6 full days!!!
What am I thinking!!!
Well actually I am experimenting on joining a new movement called No Poo
It is the theory that using Shampoo on ones hair is more damaging than helpful.
Let me begin by saying I tried every shampoo out there! I tried well known brands, and even unknown brands of shampoo. And yes some of them have wonderful fragrances but the truth is my hair kept rebelling against them.
My hair kept getting the worst split ends of my life!!!
So I began searching the web for an answer and voila!
The No Poo method came to me.
There are actually a lot of ways to do this. From using backing soda or apple vinegar. I even read about another girl who used coffee to wash her dark brown hair, she said it smelled amazing! To the most Extreme No Poo method!!!
Just using water!
I know sounds deluded and Gross. But as soon as I read it (http://www.thepolivkafamily.com/2013/02/beyond-no-poo-water-washing-update/ ) I became intrigued. Water? Sounded simple enough!
Plus imagine the money I would save!!!
So I did it. I went cold turkey!
For the first three days I did not wash my hair, I did not even get it wet. I kept obsessively sniffing it for fear that people might notice. But no one did!!! Obviously I began to comb it exaggeratedly. But only because I began to love what I was feeling!, My hair began to feel much less coarse. I read that at first it might feel oily and icky and yes but it also began to feel fuller and softer right away!
By the fourth day I decided it was time to get it wet. I was terrified. What if I ended smelling like wet dog!
So I washed it just by rubbing my fingers in my scalp and through my hair. I did it with nice warm water (Apparently to Hot water can burn it) Then at the end I let freezing water all through my head. It was so awful but apparently doing this is healthy for ones hair. Who knew?
After I showered I put some Coconut oil in my hair to smooth it a bit. But i mistakenly used to much. my hair smelled great but it looked too oily and unwashed. So I did have to repeat the water usage the next day. This time I added a minuscule amount of oil just to the tips of my hair. I am loving the way it looks.
My mom still thinks I have gone insane she says my hair looks less shinny. It freaked me out at first but after I combed it I got compliments from other people about how nice my hair was looking. I frankly think people who know about the method and find it gross are biased to looking at the bad.
I sincerely am loving the No poo Water Only Method and will continue using it for the foreseeable future! I totally encourage others to try it out!!! Let me know Show me some pics!!!
