I used the flax seed hair gel on my 5 year old after washing her hair last night. I did not hold up to sleeping... I'll try some more today and see how it holds up during dinner playing!! I also did a ACV rinse on the mid to end part of her hair after using regular poo and conditioner and it brushed out like a dream!!!
As for myself, I braided my hair for the day yesterday morning.... It's still wet!!! That gross... And I can smell the ACV slightly.
That means two things for me:
1. The 5 drops of like EO is a great way to mask the vinegar smell.
2. I really do have to let it dry all out before putting it into a ponytail or braid. This isn't a surprise, it was the same when I was pooing, the difference now is the smell, and perhaps bacteria come to think of it.
But!!! I'm onto something with SoapNuts wash, ACV rinse, BBB every night... I can feel where my natural oils stop, it's almost 4 finger widths from my scalp, and remember last week I said I needed flax gel for my hairline frizz... My hairline lays nicely now!!! I guess the gel won't need to be near my scalp which is grrrrreat!!! I'm still not ready to try the gel quite yet until I wash again with this combo :)
I decided to stop using shampoo because commercially made hair washes/shampoos strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils which makes your scalp produce more oil which in turn makes you rely more heavily on soaps and shampoos to clean it and conditioners to replenish it. I'm hoping my natural oils will make my naturally curly hair fuller, healthier, happier and prettier... this is my journey to being "no-poo"!
