Hello, hello! I'm glad I found this community.
So I've tried this before, with baking soda and lemon juice, a couple months ago and I was enjoying it, but about a week and a half in I stopped for no other reason than I got super lazy one morning and didn't feel like mixing up the baking soda/lemon juice solutions so I just used as little shampoo and conditioner as I could manage, and that's what I've been doing since. But I wanna try again, because I don't like not knowing what's going on my scalp and the back of my Pert Plus bottle is very unhelpful since I can't pronounce any of it!
Thing is, my mom doesn't want me taking cups into the shower for whatever reason, and I'm not gonna argue with her over it. I'm looking into buying plastic squeezy/squirt/spray bottles to keep BS and ACV solutions in. And I'm stumped as to what exactly to get. I imagine a bottle with too narrow an opening would gunk up real fast with the baking soda and get annoying. What do you use if you use bottles, and where did you get them? I figure a place like The Container Store might have what I'm looking for, but I don't know what I'm looking for, really.
Also, I'm not starting the BS/ACV thing this week, since I have noooo money to even buy bottles. Literally. I have to wait for my next paycheck, which won't be in the bank and cleared until Wednesday or so. As it is, I haven't washed my hair since Tuesday, but I'm planning on not using shampoo/conditioner anymore, at all if I can help it. So my plan for now is to just go water-only until I can get a couple good bottles to keep solutions in. This is probably a really dumb question, but will this mess me up at all? Make my detox period longer, something ridiculous like that?
Mostly, I just wanted to say hi, ask a couple questions, yada yada yada. I'm looking forward to trying this again. I have fine pin-straight hair, and a good amount of it. I know my detox/transition period is probably going to be long and hard. But I'm not worried about it. I can't see my hair being greasy being a giant problem at work because I work at Dunkin Donuts so my hair is tied back and under a hat all the time anyway. And I bought thick fabric headbands to keep my hair out of my face, so nobody's going to see it. My goal [hope, rather] is that my hair settles down completely, or atleast partway, by the time I move back to college for the fall. I don't know who I'm gonna be living with, and I don't wanna be known as the girl who doesn't wash her hair and is all greasy and gross.
