No 'Poo update

Not too long ago, I wrote about my attempt to give up shampoo cold turkey.  Known as the "No 'Poo" method, I replaced my shampoo bottle with a box of baking soda (still have yet to do the vinegar conditioner). 

After using the baking soda for a few weeks, I went on vacation to Las Vegas.  I'm not sure if it was the dry/hot weather, or this new conditioning oil I bought, but my hair was just plain gross.  So out of convenience, I used regular shampoo.

This is when I could tell the difference in my hair.

Cons:

While using the baking soda method is said to prolong the time in between washes, I was hoping for better results.  My hair does get greasy or oily looking and feeling if I go a day without washing.  Two days is simply unheard of for me.  I am able to go one day without washing and my hair doesn't look too bad, but halfway through the day I need to apply some dry shampoo.

My color treated hair does not hold as well, but that could be because my hair has also been bleached (ombre colored hair).

Pros:

My hair used to take absolutely forever to dry with the hairdryer.  Every time that I use baking soda, my hair dries so quickly that I only spend time straightening the ends!

The way my hair feels after a fresh baking soda shower, is complete weightlessness.  It is an absolute feeling of clean.

So this may not be much of an update, but I'm still sticking with the baking soda in an attempt to change the way my hair is.  I'm hoping to see more results over the next few months.  I'll keep you posted!
