A lot of things have happened in the past 1.5 months. But all of those things probably deserve their own posts...so I'll do that later I guess.
I have talked to a few people who have decided to give up shampoo. It seems like a funny/gross thing to stop using. I read a lot of things about all the crap that they put in shampoo that we put on our heads. A few of those commonly used chemicals are banned from food packaging and can't be ingested because they are toxic. Anyway, read for yourselves if you want.
From what I have read there are two different approaches to this. 1. using alternative washing solution(baking power, vinegar, etc). 2. Water Only.
I decided to go with the second option, water only.
The basis of the idea is supply and demand. When we strip our hair of it's natural oils, it will conitnue to over-produce oil to make up for what the shampoo is doing. If we stop using it, our hair will stop making too much oil and will stabilize back to it's natural state. Think, baby hair.
Unfortunately your hair doesn't automatically let out a sigh of releif and become naturally beautiful. It's actually quite the oppisite.
Today is day two for me. It's not the best honestly. Tonight I decided to blow dry it after my shower in hopes that I was in the middle of a mission trip at work tomorrow. I think it helped.
So anyway, I plan to stick it out and see how long it takes for my hair to return back to how it's meant to be. We'll see how it goes!
