On the 6th Day, I Contemplated Shampoo

SIX DAYS. I'll be honest—there was point before we started this when I didn't think I'd last two days without shampooing my hair. And here I am, rock you like a hurricane. No, wait, took the wrong path there with my brain.

Silky-looking business in front...

As you can see, my hair is still looking pretty normal, if a little lighter than usual. (That has nothing to do with forgoing shampoo—when the sun starts to appear with more regularity, my normally dark hair goes for a reverse tan. Also, invest in a good camera, trust me. No, iPhones do not count.) I've been extremely lucky not to experience the overly-greased, heavy flatness that I hear can happen here. Nope, my hair is still moving with the wind (sorry, Jenn) and is, if anything, showing less of a tendency to tangle at the nape of my neck.

...noticeably oily party in the back!

That said, it definitely FEELS oily to touch. When wet—I rinse it with water daily—it feels oddly waxy, and that waxy feeling transfers to my hands, which is a little unpleasant. I can definitely feel that oil transfer when I touch my dried hair, too. And, while I haven't been checking the back of my head every day, I finally got around to snapping a pic of it again and the hair back there is definitely separating out into oily locks, which does not look so good on (mostly) straight hair. (Aside: Hi, waviness, since when did you extend that far up?)

Anyway, this has been a fun week of going from paranoid to not, but I'm probably just about due for my first date with naturoo (h/t: Jenn). Stay tuned!
