week 4 No Poo

Image
So I'm on my week 4 or a month of no poo, and I actually lovin' it. For the first time in my life my hair is not frizzy any more every after wash. The true condition of my hair is really getting good, I mean true condition for me is with out the use of chemicals or coating silicone.. So some of my rituals are hot oil and protein treatment combo. I'm doing 1 part of coconut oil and 2 parts of olive oil, warm it up to micro for 30 secs and leave on into my hair for 1 hour with towel. Here are some advice, on how do I take off oils to my hair with out using shampoo , in this thing I'm doing hot oil then follow up with protein After hot oil, I go into the sink and wash my hair with just warm or hot water thoroughly to take off most of oils, towel dried it Then I whisk or stir 1 or 2 eggs, then put directly on hair, put on a bun ponytail or hair clamps for 20 to 25 minutes Then I wash it with my normal baking soda formula and follow with ACV PS..

My third week is awesome, I think I'm lovin' it! After wash I noticed less frizzy for the first time in my life! and I didn't put any oil or moisturizer and cream on. awesome! These pictures took before I wash my hair, so from every other day, I decided to go on every 3rd days cam with flash cam without flash

week 2 "NO POO"

On week 2 I noticed that I had a crazy hair falls and my hair became brittle, my mistake I guess, because I am so reluctant to put any moisturizer on after wash, as I want it to adjust to a new routine.. On my first wash for the second week I failed the no poo challenge, because I had an hot EVOO hair treatment and  have no idea how to removed the oil without lathering, so I ended up shampooing with TRESEME low SLS followed by JOHN FRIEDA conditioner.. I noticed after the hot oil treatment, the hair falls reduced to 50% even the frizziness decreased a bit. So this week I decided to put a little bit of moisturizer on my hair in every wash. This week is horrible.. I guess I'm on my adjustment period. (I accidentally deleted the pictures..)

TRYING OUT THE "NO PO" week 1 experience

So I'm on my first week, and I did not use any shampoo or any hair products for a week. I only used baking soda rinse and ACV , the formula is up to you, there are tons of website for formula tutorial, (I found some in youtube) So I'm doing it like every other day or 3x a week for my first week . I did this so my hair can clarifies,then have a big break on using shampoo and probably it may somewhat introduced to my new routine. What I noticed were: My hair become dryer, and gets frizzy some of the time, because I stopped using silicone products. My hair falls not improve, I still get lots of that. One of my big problem. But my scalp is improving, It's not itchy and irritated anymore. So one thumbs up for that! I haven't seen much improvement this week, but I am sooo optimistic and hoping for next second week. So here are the pictures for the week 1 I found it manageable for my fist wash, less frizzy, hair dries quickly after wash.. I put a little ol...

found this in some helpful website Bit brief on my hair type I have type 2A hair type. My hair is dry due to chemicals. I have natural wavy jet black Asian hair. I dyed it brown 4X a year for the last several years, then I went back to natural black. I permed it curly , then I went back again to wavy, I did it all by myself I bought some chemical perm solution in Ebay. And now I am doing my best to restores all the damage I've done by going "natural" or less chemicals.
