I had made up a mix of baking soda and water last night to use to wash my hair. I decided not to use it today though. I didn't exercise yesterday because I was recovering from the Spartan Race, so I figured I could go one more day without it.
Trying to wash in hot water was hard, as it's 40 degrees out and my showers of late have been lukewarm at most.
When I got out I gave the ends a little spray with my leave in conditioner, without it I usually can't get a brush through my hair after a shower. I don't think I even needed that little spray, my brush glided through my hair like it was melty butter.
How my head feels - pretty normal. I have a feeling braided bangs will be a recurring hair style. Bangs seem to be the first thing to get yucky. Probably from touching them and brushing them off my face so often .

Day 1
If I had known it would be my last shampoo last night, I think I would have made it count. I decided today that I was going to give up shampoo. Quit cold turkey. Crazy? I'm not sure yet.
For as long as I can remember I've had a dry and itchy scalp. I've tried different shampoos, shampooing only every other day, wearing my hair up/down ...still itchy.
I came across an article on the internet about some people who gave up shampoo and how their hair and scalp have never been healthier. I did some searching on what's actually in shampoo and realized it's probably causing my scalp woes.
So here goes. Day 1, of no shampoo for the former daily shampooer.
How my head feels - around mid afternoon it started feeling oily. It doesn't look bad, had it tucked under a headband.
