It Itches

I was debating whether I wanted to wear a shower cap, or if I wanted to rinse my hair while doing this experiment. I opted to rinse it, hoping it'd feel better. It's pretty greasy. It's separating from itself. I bought a boar brush in the hopes that it would help smooth the grease around, and maybe it would help scratch my scalp (did I mention that it's insanely itchy?). I thought it did a little of the former, even if it didn't scratch my scalp at all. Then I looked at the before and after shots. 

Can you tell the difference? Because I certainly can't.
My hair is slightly smoother, but not noticeably so. However, it felt smoother and it felt like it looked better, so I'm going to just go with it and ignore the fact that it's just a placebo for now. 

Pro tip: If you're going to do this, do not cut your fingernails right afterward. They will never alleviate the itch as well as longer ones, a comb, or a backscratcher. I'm hesitant to put more oil on my hair when it's this greasy, but I really hope that tea tree oil helps this itch, or this is going to be a really short experiment!

Jenn's current status:

# of days since last commercial shampoo:
Significant Other Check: Said he'll check for smell while cuddling before bed. Strangely not interested in cuddling until it's time to sleep... 
Public Perception Paranoia Scale: 5/10, It feels kinda gross, and my niece definitely noticed, but I think I can pull it off...no one at the comic book store or Best Buy said anything about it...but then...
