Hair Training Day 1

Disclaimer; This post and those in this series are likely to bore you. For that reason, I am intentionally keeping them short and to the point. Feel free to stop reading now, particularly if you are of the male gender. ;)

...Because I have nothing better to blog about lately and I'm all about trying new things, especially when it means beating the "system" and going natural.

So I read this blog the other day about Un-Pooing your hair. Aka-Not using shampoo to clean your hair. See here at Reformation Acres.

Also the other day, I was looking at old pictures and realized how stinkin' awesome my hair was pre-pregnancy!  Long, curly, voluminous, and most of all easy to maintain! So I am on a mission to reclaim my locks to their full potential.

Step 1: Wash less, a lot less (yes, with shampoo because I'm not about to waste what I paid good money for). My goal is to be able to wash my hair once a week and not have it turn into a hot mess of greasiness. I've gotten close to this before, it is a long process but SO possible!

Day 1: Freshly washed, defused, and scrunched (all upside-down). Take note of the dryness, the uneven wave-curl-straight disbursement, and the lack of root volume. Bleh!


Grace and peace,
T

  1. You're right, it's all about the products! I use a fairly expensive shampoo and conditioner ($16 each... one splurge I consider worth it), but I'd probably choose a homemade product over anything at wal-mart. A lot of the cheaper stuff is so full of fillers, my hair looks terrible when I use them.

  2. I'd love to hear how your homemade stuff works once you run out of shampoo!
