Shampoo-less failure

I like to think that I can do whatever I put my mind too. The whole 'poo free thing didn't work for me on many levels. My roots run oily, they always have. And I am still breastfeeding, which makes them feel dirty every day. Before Amanda I only washed my hair every few days! Long hair has never been hard for me to maintain but these hormones made my hair wacky! Wacky I tell you! where did the curl I love go?  I ended up going 'poo free for 11 days, with doing the baking soda "shampoo" and apple cider vinegar "conditioner" every few days.

The problem was the baking soda dried out my fingers too much (they hurt!), my hair didn't feel clean, and -I can admit it- I am just not that crunchy that I was willing to put the necessary work into it...yet. So I cut off 6 inches in a month (two cuts). And I switched to Aubrey Organics shampoo and conditioner, which I LOVE. That was all ages ago and I cut off another 2 inches recently. I am *tempted* to cut my hair short (a dirty word to me since junior high), but I have a bad ass flip on the right side that resists even straightening. Not that I have the time for that nowdays!
