Giving up Shampoo? Who doesn\'t use POO?
*Long post ahead*
I may give up shampoo for a long while!
I had to figure something out two weeks ago my new growth at 4 weeks was so rough (there is a lot of it...thanks to Surge)I used my flat iron twice! And that is a big no no!
I finally got into the condition washes and coconut milk and yes coconut oil as well....with great results. My new growth is a lot more manageable at this 6 week mark then the last time I was at this point which was around the first week in June.
On Sunday I mixed half a can of Goya Coconut milk with a good amount of oil (My head was saturated)...slapped on a plastic cap and sat under the dryer for about 10 minutes.
This smells SOOOOO good! The combination of the coconut oil and milk together will drive you crazy.
Then I con washed for some reason I decided to skip the poo just to see how it would work....and last I deep conditined with my UBH conditioner. After I rinsed the conditioner out...I gently toweled dried (pressing not rubbing roughly) used a combination of UBH cream mositurizer (just a dab) a little serum and a bit of coconut oil. I don't use a great deal of any of them let's say an amount between the size of a dime and a quarter for each. Then I parted my hair in four sections and did four fat braids and rolled the ends with a skinny flexi rod. My braid out came out the best it every has! My BF was like wow! People in the street were like wow! Soft and shiny and the curls were very defined...I'll be taking pics soon.
Anyway, since that day I have been doing a daily CO wash...just using plain conditoner and then I follow the steps I listed above. I think I will do the coconut milk and oil pre-treatment, con wash and deep condition once a week.
So far so good....I have a large fan in my room so my hair dries by morning....what I'll do in the winter I don't know but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
I going to try to wash with poo once a week or even less....maybe if I start seeig buildup at some point I will use a clarifying shampoo as needed.
Anyone else skipping the poo?
