So the first 5 days I washed on the first, the third and then the fifth day, each time pushing back the boundaries of fatness build up. Every morning I brush my hair well with my new bristle brush making sure to brush out the fatty roots, or so I think. I see myself as redistributing this fatty goodness all around and away. My fourth wash was done with a two day break instead of the one, which brings me up to my third day break otherwise known as “Day 11″. I have discovered that the back crown area fattens up the most. I have also discovered that wash day is where my hair looks the worst, and this is after the wash. Although my hair is starting to feel like it’s going to need another thorough rinse tomorrow, I am interested that it is looking at its best ever. This is how my hair looked previously after washing it in shampoo for the first day, subsequent days meant the hair looked duller, worse, no volume and greased down.

Now, although it greases up, my hair has volume, there’s glow and it looks good.

In my bid to minimise contact with chemicals of all sorts, I have embarked on a quest which so far has filled me with an odd sort of queasiness. For one not normally prone to queasiness, it has been different.

The task is to go without shampoo. I can wash my hair, but I can only wash with water. It’s only been the 3rd night and I’ve had to wash it again tonight, greasy … maybe, paranoia … probably. During a normal week, I will wash my hair once, maybe twice. It doesn’t oil up quickly. I’ve already hit that limit now. I’m wondering how it’ll go.
