I've been doing No-Poo for about six months now (it was one of the first posts on this blog) and the first couple of months, I really enjoyed it. However, about half way between then and now, I stopped having the same spiffy results. I've carried on boldly in spite of it, figuring that I had caused it by shampooing after Independence Day and it just had to stabilize, but that never really happened. My hair simply continued feeling grimy and heavy.
Therefore, today I gave up the baking soda and lemon water, and bought some Lavender-Ylang ylang shampoo and conditioner. I lathered twice, and I think it may taken another application to get back to the texture I like, but I'm feeling much more normal, now.
So after my six month experiment, I'll say this: As a once-in-a-while thing, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. If I get to a time in my life where I must live on a shoe string, I know I can get by with baking soda and lemons for at least part of my hygiene routine. Actually with various scarves and bandanas, I can cover any bad hair days, too. All hail the lazy! But no-poo wasn't a horrible way to b for a while, and I feel confident that I gave it a good, fair try out.
