I was just wondering if anyone in here practices no-poo/lo-poo/other? No, it doesn't mean no going to the bathroom it means no-shampoo/low-shampoo. Basically, you switch out your shampoo for conditioner. I started this even before my weight loss journey began, when I had waist length hair. It sounded crazy, but I was fed up with my frizzy, tangly hair and no product seemed to be working. The first two weeks with just conditioner was terrible. My hair was so greasy and matted to my head, I felt so dirty, I had to scrub hard to get the gunk (from products) off my scalp. But after that, things went great. My hair was bouncy, full, conditioned, way less frizzy than it had ever been, etc.
I loved COing (conditioner only-washing), and I still do, but I've gradually started using shampoo again, usually once a week since I only wash my hair twice a week (I DO shower, but don't wash my hair that frequently because it's curly and doesn't get greasy fast.)
I realize this might be a little taboo for some of you, but I figured since 3FC in itself would be sort of unusual to a lot of people OFF this website, maybe the people on here would be more understanding/interested.
Some people that do it also don't use hair products like gel or hairspray, some only use certain natural brands, others use whatever they feel like. If I need anti-frizz stuff, I just scrunch some conditioner into my dry hair. Rarely I'll use hairspray, but that's about it really. I don't blow dry my hair, either, but once in a great while I'll flat iron it or curl it, or put a roller set in, etc.
If you're into it, what's your routine? Do you like using oils? Do you have a favorite conditioner? Do you use cone-free (silicone-free) conditioners, or coney (siliconey) conditioners? How about vinegar or honey, do you use them? Do you go all out and rinse with rose water?
I use a vinegar rinse once a month, and make up a batch of honey-conditioner maybe twice a month, three times if it's really dry out. I'm still searching for a perfect conditioner- I had one, but ran out of it, and stupidly tossed the bottle out. Now I don't have the name anymore. Oh well.
Sorry if this seems sort of braggy or strange, but my hair is very important to me, almost as important as losing weight and being healthy. So I figured I'd share and see if there were any others here.
