I've officially gone "no poo".

It's been two weeks since my last use of shampoo. Seriously.

Surprisingly, my hair:

1. does not stink
2. has practically zero dandruff (I used to shampoo my hair like daily to avoid dandruff and now I don't shampoo at all and I'm no longer plagued by it - LIFE)
3. looks pretty healthy despite the greasy feeling and nobody can actually tell how greasy it is if I rinse it under warm water now and then

What I've been doing is every week I pour a little bit of baking soda into some water (about half a tablespoon or less to a large cup - don't overdo this as baking soda is way alkaline) and then I rub that into my scalp. I let it sit in for around a minute and I rinse it off. Then I mix some apple cider vinegar with water (a tablespoon to a cup as well) and pour it all over my hair, mostly focussing on the ends and I let that sit for another minute. I make sure I rinse everything off very well so I don't smell like an English fish and chip stall though Jeen Yap assures me the smell goes off as the hair dries.

And here is a picture if you don't mind my unmade up face!

Five days since my last "wash" and two weeks since my last shampoo. Yaaay.

My hair has always been perfectly healthy and normal so I'm just sticking it through the transition period. I think I'm lucky because oil production on my scalp has been slowing down from what I've noticed this week in comparison to last week. Jeen's hair has displayed remarkable difference, though. It used to be pretty dry and damaged and it seems almost normal now! Her transition is kinda minimal too. Pfft. That girl. So lucky.

It's only been two weeks so far, which is halfway till my hair suddenly becomes awesome and commercial worthy so. Okay. I'll let you guys know how bitchtastic my hair flipping gets in two more weeks.

Oh god. I was kidding.

Anyway, some suggest a honey shampoo for those that think that the baking soda + apple cider vinegar thing may be a bit strong. That's supposed to help with dry hair and dandruff so give it a go. If you're intending to stick with the baking soda and wish to avoid extra strong dandruff, I hear putting in a bit of tea tree oil in the baking soda mixture helps. 

(Ask me sometime about how I don't wash my face with facial cleanser and how I believe that my complexion is pretty fab because of that, though)
