My Diary of No Shampoo----Day 1 and 2

Posted on Sunday, March 30, 2008 at 12:31 - Post Comment

I have quit using store shampoo, instead I wash my hair in whipped egg whites. It works great!!! This is my second day for my no poo do. I will be sharing the diary of my experience with no shampoo.

First I need to tell you a little about my hair. This is how my hair is while using store shampoo.- I have long fine hair and I have alot of it. My hair, face, neck, and back are oily, very oily. The rest of my body is dry, hands, legs, arms...... I shampoo my hair almost every day. My hair is only clean for a few hours after my shower, by bedtime my hair smells...it really stinks......really oily by this time too.

Day 1 (yesterday) -  I shampood my hair in whipped egg whites, conditioned the ends of my hair (with store bought conditioner ), and finished my shower. My hair was very easy to comb and when it dried it looked very nice!

Day 2 (today) - When I woke up my hair felt a little oily in the back of my head, but my hair was not as oily as it usually is when I use store shampoo.

 Today when I took my shower I didn't shampoo my hair with anything. I just rinsed my hair and conditioned  the ends of my hair.

I thought my hair would be kind of oily since I just rinsed my hair instead of shampooing, but it is not at all! It is very clean! No smell of oily hair like I usually have when using store shampoo.

This is the first two days of my experiece, I will share more tomorrow.

I too, have very oily hair and dry skin, I have never heared of using eggs. When my hair starts to get oily, to the point where it does not seem to come cleanwith store bought shampoo, I use soap lather from my goat milk soap and it makes it nice and smooth and it smells ver nice. I will have to try eggs sometime, I am always trying to find new ways to go more natural. Thanks!

Sincerely,

~*~Mary~Ann~*~

We've also done the no shampoo and my Kate was afraid as her hair is also oily, but we heard that shampoos are damaging to our curly hair, so we stopped using shampoo and it really works. We will shampoo or soap once in a blue moon, like if we were in the barn and the hair just gets smelly or you fell and your hair hit the manure. I've been shampoo free for almost 2 years. I do use conditioner on my ends, but just rinsing with water or the conditioner seems to be enough to cleanse the hair, cuz really the conditioner is acting in a way to loosen the grime from my hair, just like shampoo, but without the really harsh things that shampoo does to my hair. I've also found it seems that some people produce alot of oil to protect the scalp... perhaps that is why your oil production is going down with decreased use of shampoo. ?? *Grin*

Warmly, ~Melissa

Yes, Melissa, you are right about my oil production going down with the decrease of shampoo.
I was doing some reading about this on the internet and found that shampoos take so much oil out that the body thinks to make more. I guess shampoo was the cause of all the oils in my hair.

I tried this a few years ago and I somehow forgoot about it. It is so wonderful for my hair!

I have been rubbing some of the egg whites on my face. I have been having pimple break-outs of store shampoo, since I have been using egg whites, my face is clearing of pimples and blackheads. It is WONDERFUL!!!
