Shampoo-Free Tea: Result!

[teaberryblue]

I know, I know, I said you would get results after about a week, but there is a good reason why it has taken me so long to tell you how the whole shampoo-free thing is going!

It is called, I MADE A COMIC ABOUT IT.

Shampoo-Free Tea

Enjoy! This documents the process from start to end of the first day of shampoo-freeness. Click the image to read the comic!

It has been nearly three weeks and I have got to say, I do not feel like my hair is dirty, and I don’t miss shampoo at all! In fact, I am happy to report that when I went down to my grandmother’s house for the weekend, I brought down all my silicone-rich conditioners and all but one bottle of sulfate shampoo. I kept one bottle of shampoo in case I have an awful hair emergency. But other than that, my haircare regimen now consists of silicone-free conditioner, water, and castor oil or vegetable glycerin (I like to alternate what I put in my hair).

It was slightly greasy at about the two week mark, but other than that, all the warnings that it would make my hair look worse before it looked better? Lies! It has looked great from the first day on. I mean, I still have some bad hair days, but my hair is softer, shinier, and healthier overall. The softness is amazing– you can really tell that there are no products in my hair.

When it got greasy, I massaged my scalp with baking soda and then poured vinegar in– a recommendation I got from Destiny and several other sources. I was hoping it would make my head into a kiddie science project volcano, but it did not. Woe! It made my scalp feel a little dry for a few days, though, so I’m not sure if I will do that again.

But generally, I am very pleased with the results and I would happily recommend this alternative to icky chemicals to anyone and everyone– my mom picked it up already.

Any advice on how this would work with very fine, straight & blonde hairs? My curly-headed friends always look great if they go a day without shampooing, but not me. I look all greasy and flattened after 18 hours. :(

I like how it could conceivably be published as a children's picture book.

It was all good until the end. FREE HAIRS??? *HIDES*

Awww that is an adorable comic.

Also, I would be pondering the same thing myself since my thin, straight hair sucks in all regards, but my problem is that I colour it. So any natural defense is probably dead already.

I do know that never wearing makeup (apart from occasional corpsepaint and mascara) has really helped my skin a lot...

Yay! My hair is not as massively curly as yours (I have no ringlets, I am more wavy bordering on soft s-curls) and I have been dabbling at curly-girl style shampoo free for several months now, and I have to say I am kind of failing. Not hardcore, but kinda. I think, first of all, I still have silicone in my conditioners. Second of all, still using towels to dry my hair. I would think that oils on my hair, since it is not as ringlety as yours would be a bad idea (as the curlier hair is, the more dry it is, I think I read)... anyway, I'm glad you've made it work! I'm trying to make the same thing happen, on my much less curly head.
