I am new with some questions

[tomi_girl1]

In one of my other groups, they started talking about no poo and I have tons of questions and am getting lost in all the info online. I have long-to my bra strap-thick wavy/curly hair with a horrible itchy scalp and awful dandruff that I use really harsh stuff to control. It's been about 4 days since I have washed my hair

I did not have an awkward greasy period, but I also haven't gone more than a week without washing somehow since I went no-'poo (in the beginning of last October, for your reference). I simply ditched shampoo and replaced it with a baking soda/apple cider vinegar method. Generally, one can go for a longer time between washes with no-'poo. Apparently, people's sebum production goes crazy because it is used to overproducing because of the stripping quality of shampoo. Even when I go many days between washes, though, I do not experience the same kind or amount of greasiness as I did when using shampoo

I've never used it, but olive oil is bad, you can only get it out with shampoo. There should be some tags about using oil to condition, but a lot of people use coconut oil or jojoba oil or other light oils. That's for deep conditioning or maybe a little for dry hair or dry ends

I think the other two posters got most of your questions... but I wanted to feel important, so I thought I'd take on the conditioner question

When using any essential oil pit it in your vinegar mixture. And teatree oil actually does relieve itchiness and dandruff (I don't have dandruff)
