Yesterday I tried washing my hair with flaxseed.... and I totally failed. =(  I doubt it's just because it doesn't work for my hair type or anything, because it just didn't seem to make my hair any cleaner at all. So think it must have been something I did wrong. Can you tell me what it is ( Read more... )

I just dyed my hair with indigo for the first time, you guys!

I had done henna a while ago, but I decided to apply henna again right before doing the indigo, because that's what's recommended, I guess? (Indigo is a plant-based hair dye which on top of henna will dye your hair black. Without henna it will dye your hair... gross. Hehe.) Anyway, I left ( Read more... )

I’ve been on no poo for close to a year, with the same basic routine (teaspoon of bs in a cup of water, teaspoon of wv in a cup of water), and it’s been cleaning my hair great! I’ve been working on growing out my dye-damaged hair. I got a short-ish haircut last week, and most of the damaged hair should now be gone.

That’s when I realized that ( Read more... )

You know what is awesome about the colder weather? I suddenly can go longer without washing my hair!! I've been doing washes with two days in-between for a few months now, but these past two weeks I've been getting away with three days in-between washes, with my hair still looking presentable on the day before I wash!! It's such a great feeling! ( Read more... )

I've been using no poo for about 5 months, and I thought it's about time for an update!

In the beginning I experimented a bunch, but in the last few months I never really had the time to try anything other than bs/acv... I just love their simplicity and cheapness. I usually have two days between washes. And my hair is doing really well! I don't even ( Read more... )

Recently, feel like I'm stuck, hair-wise. The day I wash, the top half of my hair feels wonderful and clean, and the bottom half is dry, tangly and stupid. The days AFTER I wash, my scalp gets greasy, but my lengths suddenly are wonderful, silky soft, and I can curl them around my finger without them being knotty, and if I use the BBB even my ends ( Read more... )

So a few days ago I used amla on my hair for the first time, and I loved it! I mixed up about half a packet with hot water, let it sit for about 10 minutes and then slapped it on my hair. Let it sit for a few minutes while I hopped in the shower and washed the rest of my body, then scrubbed my scalp with the amla on it, rinsed, and followed with a ( Read more... )

Haven't posted in a long time, and thought it was about time for an update!

I've been no 'poo for two months now, and it's been going pretty well! During the first month I used Dr. Bronner two or three times when my hair got bad, and shampoo once the day of my graduation three weeks ago. Since then, only bs/acv, and usually with a day or two in- ( Read more... )

So I bought some Dr. Bronner's stuff! The total shopping load was: a bar of peppermint soap, two bottles of liquid soap (peppermint and tea tree), and, on a whim, lavender-coconut leave-in conditioner. That last one was added because I usually wish that I had something to moisturize my hair with after the bs/acv routine, something that would also ( Read more... )

I vow only to use SLS free soap on my hair when it's REALLY greasy and I have no other way of making it look acceptable. Grrr. I just used some of my roomie's SLS free stuff on hair that was only just getting greasy, and BAM! Frizz! Have to wear it up today. That'll teach me. BS for me from now on!!!
