I’ve decided that Water Only isn’t for me. I’m tired of my hair looking terrible and feeling worse. I’m going to shampoo my hair really well, and then I’ll try Conditioner Only. I might need to use shampoo for a while to get all of the grease off my hair, but after that I’ll start a Conditioner [...]

I hadn’t washed my hair in over a week. I’d like to say that there was a reason behind it, but in reality I just didn’t feel like taking a shower.
Routine: washed my hair with plain water.
Results: icky, sticky hair. I’m able to wear it in a half up, but even that looks bad.
Next: See [...]

sleep, finally
I was finally able to get a good night of sleep. I was so tired that I went to bed at 9:30 and slept right up until my alarm went off at 6:30. A blessed 9 hours of sleep! I did actually wake up at 5, and I was afraid that I wasn’t going to [...]

I’m wearing my hair in a half-up today.
Next: I’m thinking I [...]

Water Only – Week 7 – part 2
Routine: Wet my hair, then applied ACV rinse (no herbs this time). I started applying it in the back (at the nape) then once that was wet I clipped up the ends, and moved on to the rest of my head. I spent several minutes massaging the ACV rinse around, applying more as needed. Then [...]

Water Only – Week 7 – part 1.5
So yesterday I said how sticky my hair was from the olive oil exparament and I was thinking about doing a baking soda wash. I did that this morning, and my hair is much better.
I like the results with one exception:
I wasn’t thinking parted my hair in half and only did the BS on the “tassles”. [...]
