No Shampoo Update

I guess I haven't been very faithful about writing this month. My apologies to both my readers. But I have had a break through with the no shampoo method. Finally after two weeks my hair finally looked clean! It had shine, body, and volume, instead of the usually flat, greasy mess.

It was pointed out to me that my tablespoon measure that I had been using was actually a teaspoon measure. So I had been washing my hair with 1/3 baking soda I should have. I upped the amount of baking soda and it helped my hair quite a bit. I read that if your hair is really oily you can use up to 2 tablespoons.

My hair smells good for the most part. I still gait faint hints of vinegar when I'm exercising, and on the ends of my hair from time to time. To keep my hair smelling nice, which is important to me, I decided to dilute some lavender oil in water and keep it in a small spray bottle. I spray down my hair in the morning, or after I wash may hair. I use a 2 ounce glass bottle from the vitamin store and I added 5 drops of oil, but it could stand to have a few more drops in my opinion.

Overall, I'm feeling happier and less frustrated with the no shampoo method.

Despite my infrequent blogging I have been keeping busy with my beauty experiments. Posts to come: better dry shampoo recipe, natural hair spray, and how to make an essential oil. Stay tuned!
