Water Only Success Story

I haven't even looked at LJ for months, but after having gone no-poo for a couple years now, and WO for at least a year, I feel I owe the community a report on how it's gone. I found the info in this community to be absolutely indispensable while I was getting started (i.e. about the first year), so I hope this post may be of help to someone else. ( Read more... )

So no-poo is great as always, but now I have new dilemmas.

I recently started the oil conditioning method (OCM) and love it. My skin hasn't felt so good in, well, ever, but the oil is messing with my hair.
