Hey, feel free to ignore this question if you're not currently up for Explaining Hair Care, but I have been reading both your & Eleanor's hair care methods and I was wondering - does your method work for short hair too? Especially re: curls because I LOVE the way my hair curls when it Sometimes Happens but I can never get it to do so reliably and am *entirely* too lazy and unwilling to deal with Bad Texture to use product. ALSO also, does your hair feel greasy-smooth like dogs do? (I'm sorry this is the only comparison I have available.) I don't mind but my spouse does so if it does feel that way I may have to forget about using this method xD

I've definitely seen examples of people with short curly hair who use both no-poo and curly girl, and people tend to say there's a shorter transitional period with the former

In terms of feel my hair feels about the same as my partner's grease-wise, and they shampoo 1-2 times a week

However, it may feel greasy-smooth during the transition stage of no-poo unless you're really assiduous with the brushing out

I'm three months into my no shampoo hair care routine and MAN its cashing checks. I have fine, wavy, greying, thin-ish hair and decided to forego shampoo and conditioner in favor of a hair care routine that's primarily water-only with a bi-weekly egg and apple cider vinegar wash and wow. My hair feels so great!

I already didn't wash my hair often, I can easily go a full week without washing it so there wasn't too bad of a transition from shampoo to no-poo in terms of oil buildup. I decided to go full stop after finding out about the amount of chemicals in shampoo products, even stuff with no phalates or sulfates hasn't really worked for me. In terms of what I want my hair to feel and look like.

Turns out, a couple chicken eggs and a teaspoon of ACV every two weeks after an overnight oil treatment is the best for my hair. Like, seriously I've never found a shampoo/conditioner that's made my hair feel so touchable and soft.

I just want my hair glitter to shine. I stopped coloring my hair years ago once I noticed my silvers starting to come in at like 22.

Simple Hair Secret

After months of struggling with DIY shampoo recipes and hair masks, trying to find a solution to cleanse and moisturize my hair in order to help me tame my curly locks, I came up empty-handed, finding that everything I tried left my hair greasy, dry or had ingredients that I was not willing to work with. I knew I would have to completely rethink the problem from the beginning.

What happens without cleaning my hair; why do I wash it at all? For starters, my hair is curly, and I play in the woods a lot, so I get lots of dirt and grime in my hair when I am frolicking outdoors. Besides that, an undernourished scalp is prone to dandruff, and that kind of dry scalp is much more susceptible to bacteria, which can lead to infection and typically leads to unpleasant odors.

How can I solve these problems from a different approach as traditional, detergent-based shampoos? Dirt can be rinsed away, but germs and bacteria hitching a ride with debris needs help to be neutralized. This could be done with tea tree oil, as I use in my beeswax bars, but tea tree oil has natural bleaching effects, which hinder hair growth. This is useful as a body treatment, but not for the scalp. I also considered orange oil, as I have had success in the past using peels to massage into my scalp and distribute the oil that way, but it was way too much work, and I got a heavily concentrated peel and wasn’t paying attention, I would get an itchy scalp. Tangerine oil has the same effect as orange and is more gentle, but it can be difficult to extract the oil at home without using a carrier or diminishing the quality.

After eating a couple tangerines, I took the peels into the shower with me to brainstorm. After warming the water, I noticed an empty jug that I had used to eat seeds from on the counter. I grabbed it to put the peels in and filled it with the warm shower water before squeezing the peels gently to soften them, releasing some of the oil and tainting the water orange.

I felt a cooling sensation as I poured the solution over me head and rubbed it into my scalp. I refilled the jug and repeated the process, pouring the mixture over all of my hair and rubbing it in, allowing it to sit while I went over my skin with a beeswax bar then rinsing to be sure all the debris had been removed. After my hair dried, I combed it and found that instead of poofing out in a frizzy mess as usual, it clung to and curled around itself in smooth seas of brunette waves. My eyes brightened and widened as I stared at it gliding across my comb and grinned, more satisfied than I could have imagined.

Ingredients:

Warm Water

Orange Peels

Instructions:

Mix ingredients together, squeezing peels

Drench and massage scalp and hair

Let sit for a few minutes then rinse hair

Well, Day 1 of the Curly Girl Method on my hair. Did a bleach and dye, and it STILL looks this good. I've never gotten curl definition on the same day as bleaching, so I can only imagine how it'll look in a few weeks

[a-shakespearean-in-paris]

me a couple days ago: there’s no way I could do the no poo method. 

me now: well...while we’re in quarantine...maybe I should consider the no poo method....
