"I cheated," otherwise known as No 'Poo, part three
For the beginning of my No 'Poo journey, look here.
For part two, click here.
That's right, I cheated. I used shampoo and condition for the first time in over two weeks. Why? Oh why did I cheat on my routine? Because stupid me changed something last week. In an effort to keep my hair the same color, I cut out the lemon juice, and started using apple cider vinegar.
That was a big mistake. I had a good thing going, and ruined it! By the second time of using the ACV, my hair was a grease ball. It was so bad that I'm sure I could have styled giant spikes in my hair with all of the grease. Eww. Right?
I'm sure it would have went away on its own, after another week or so. But I want to look good, damn it. Grease ball wasn't the style I was going for this week.
So I did what I thought I had to do. I used a tiny bit of shampoo, rinsed it out well, followed by a healthy amount of conditioner, then another really good rinse!
Thankfully, my hair is no longer greasy. My hair is a little dryer than it was last week though. So starting tomorrow, I am going back to using lemon juice.
I think that is pretty good though, I'm almost at the end of two weeks of no 'poo. And have only 'poo'd once, hehe.

So no ACV then. Got it. But I don't want to think there isn't a non lightening option. Must research.
It's possible that is just my hair. I've looked a good bit online, and it seems like the majority that do no 'poo use ACV.
I know it was just slightly over a week, but I didn't notice anything different with my hair.
However, if you do find something else, let me know! I like my hair color the way it is :)
