No 'Poo for 5 Weeks, 4 Days
So, I'm coming up on my 6 week goal of the No Shampoo Experiment. I should post a picture, yeah? But really, there's nothing to note. It looks exactly like normal, shampooed hair. Except for the four inch bald patch. Just kidding.
This leaves me in a bit of a conundrum. On the one hand, yay! No more buying products! But, it's never that simple, is it? There are some drawbacks. I really do have to wash it every day, or it just seems dull. I miss the smell of shampoo, too. All those lovely scents... lavender, rosehips, apple... those are nice smells! Also, my hair is thicker, which is good, but it was already pretty thick. However, it's also now a bit coarser. But, then again, it's more manageable.
So, hm.
I'm thinking, maybe I'll just go back to an organic shampoo... maybe once or twice a week? I dunno. I gotta mull this one over.
But in the meantime, WOW!! I made it! Come on, you didn't think I'd actually get through the whole 6 weeks, did you?
Groovy.

In all the historical fiction, the ladies rinse their hair with perfumed water, like rose water. Can you get your hands on some of that?

Hey, I am impressed. Jones and I were just wondering aloud about it the other day, I mean, since we hadn't heard about it in a while :)
What is King Pen's assessment of the situation?
Congratulations.

Having spent Thanksgiving with WonderGirl, I can be a witness that if I hadn't known she was doing the NoPoo thing, I'd never have guessed... her hair looks great...

So happy for you! B & I were wondering how you were hanging in there- glad to see the details. We have shared your experience with some other friends and they are just dumbfounded. Do you really have time to wash/rinse everyday like you would need to? Do you still brush several times a day too?

I don't skip the shower/bath unless there's some natural disaster or emergency, because by the end of the day, the kids have grubbed me up pretty good. Mashed bananas, paint, kool-aid, you name it, I'm wearing it. So, yes, I have time. I don't have to brush it as much as I had to at first though.

gawd, when i first read the title of this post i thought for a quick second that you had not had a bowel movement for 5 weeks!! thank god that's not the case. :)
i am impressed. my hair looks greasy if i even go a day without washing it. i'll be curious to see what you think of your results.

I, too, can attest that WonderGirl's hair did, indeed, look good. As someone who has followed in WonderGirl's footsteps (four weeks this Sunday), I can also attest to the fact that going "no 'poo" does work.
