Anyway I only wash my hair with water no baking soda nor vinegar/lemon. Will see:-) Hopefully by week six it'll start all turn to something better. Was your hair greasy 4 weeks in no-poo? Thank you very much for answer. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-30162632870693526142009-11-13T06:17:06.398-07:002009-11-13T06:17:06.398-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-87081756276050923522009-04-22T14:51:00.000-06:002009-04-22T14:51:00.000-06:00Ok Anna this is too funny because a year ago I dec...Ok Anna this is too funny because a year ago I decided that people in the 18th and 19th century didn't wash their hair much and old ladies like my grandmas only did it once a week so I was going to stop with the every day thing. I felt like a greasy pig at first but the longer I went the longer I could go. So I did it gradually, each week increasing by a day or 2. I wear it up when it starts looking skanky (after 3 days)because I do have a professional job and need to look clean and groomed. I can wash it now every 4-5 days. But, the idea of no shampoo is intriguing. Perhaps we would get a sense of how people's hair looked before commercial shampoos were used.<br />-KristelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-24976820482075946542009-03-31T11:33:00.000-06:002009-03-31T11:33:00.000-06:00This is an interesting project.

We were at a mountain cabin with no water, electricity etc, so I didn't bother washing it. It didn't feel great. My hair got really greasy and grose. This Easter we're going back to the cabin, and I decided I'll wash my hair this time ;-)Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063182254948276379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-89627636717451901252009-03-13T11:58:00.000-06:002009-03-13T11:58:00.000-06:00Just stumbled across you blog.

My hair curly and THICK - I have found that not using shampoo has helped A LOT. I do use conditioner every now and then because my hair is SO curly and long that I get dreads and knots... not so cool. But there are lots of natural things to do, eggs, olive oil, cocnut oil, etc... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, just wanted to say, I'm with ya!<BR/><BR/>Take care now!<BR/>AmandaAmanda Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092853676036657454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-72605080126660535682009-02-13T06:20:00.000-07:002009-02-13T06:20:00.000-07:00you can try eggs instead of shampooyou can try eggs instead of shampooKasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11315554926225916475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-38421486837867337242009-02-12T17:55:00.000-07:002009-02-12T17:55:00.000-07:00Stewart is in! hahaStewart is in! hahajenniferjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00699592512451923164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-13181459338508542672009-02-11T06:47:00.000-07:002009-02-11T06:47:00.000-07:00I'm interested in this.

Gross. I did switch to a more natural shampoo and stopped washing my hair every day, which I think has helped a lot. But, perhaps I'll start cutting down to washing only two days a week and give Sarah's talc powder suggestion a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-68254983288040192122009-02-09T19:58:00.000-07:002009-02-09T19:58:00.000-07:00so tempting to try this - my hair is a fried mess!...so tempting to try this - my hair is a fried mess!<BR/><BR/>your blog is greatly appreciated and therefore has been given an award! check it out:<BR/><BR/>http://copperseal.blogspot.comErica Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03947327104938086705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-78276150217645040282009-02-09T03:46:00.000-07:002009-02-09T03:46:00.000-07:00I remember when I was working in the desert I went...I remember when I was working in the desert I went for a few months doing more than rinsing my hair. That's when it was pretty long too (for a guy). The combination of wind and sand actually kept it from being very greesy at all. Lately I've been doing it again, even though I'm not working in the field. My Army schedule doesn't leave a lot of time available in the morning, so all I do is rinse off my (admittedly very short) shock of hair. It works. Three months and counting.<BR/><BR/>D QuiveyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-56507504003675969882009-02-08T19:05:00.000-07:002009-02-08T19:05:00.000-07:00Agreed on everything said here!I've been thinking ...Agreed on everything said here!<BR/>I've been thinking a lot about this recently (again).

I'm really not sure I can handle both my hair and my face being out of whack for 6 weeks. <BR/><BR/>I would probably have to ween myself off of shampooing. Also, I would probably have to do the conditioner version because of my long hair. It gets horribly tangled without conditioner. I'm talking knots!<BR/><BR/>It is definitely something to consider though!! It would save me so much time in the morning since washing this long hair seems to take forever. <BR/><BR/>I'll let you know.<BR/><BR/>-LorettaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
