Day 2 & 3
Day 2:
I mixed the baking soda into a paste, then mushed it around my head again. It didn't feel as smooth as I was rinsing it out as it did yesterday, but brushing it was still like a hot knife through butter. This has begun to lengthen my shower time, since it isn't quite routine yet, but it has reduced my shower necessities. I had already been brushing my teeth with baking soda, so now packing for travel is going to be great... although, when I am sharing a hotel room with friends it may be awkward for them to see me only heading to the bathroom with baking soda, brushes, and a bottle of what looks like urine.
Day 3:
I tried the recommended method of dissolving the baking soda in warm water, then pouring it on my head and letting it sit for a minute. This, again, didn't feel all silky rinsing out. So this time I diluted some apple cider vinegar with water and poured that on my head (I also made my roommate smell my head on the way to work to make sure I didn't reek... he would have told me if I did...I hope) and rinsed it out with water. I want to say my hair felt greasier, but once I got out of the shower it didn't seem to make a difference. After going for a walk in the heat today, my hair still feels soft and clean, although I am more paranoid about it. But I love how nice it feels.
