Report: First "No-Poo" Attempt

Today, for the first time, I washed my hair with baking soda and conditioned with vinegar. I had been warned that hair has an adjustment period of about two weeks, during which it tends to be a bit oilier. This, however, is not the case for me. My hair is shinier than ever, full of volume (which, actually, it really didn't need help with since it is so full), bouncy, and (gasp) manageable for a change! I am really impressed. It felt odd to rub in the baking soda mixture, and the lack of a lather bothered me a little (I worried that my hair would turn out limp and dingy), but the result is really nice. So, I am sticking with this switch! I'm planning to get my hair cut a little shorter this week, in order to get rid of split ends and lessen my styling time each day, so I'll probably post some pictures after that. We'll see how this continues to work. So far, I am happy!
