Anyway, December 28th was my last shampoo using a sulfate shampoo. My hair felt the same as normal and I didn't wash until the 30th again. Here is my hair that day:
As you can see, my hair is pretty weighed down but the curls look a little more defined. Apparently, going natural is sort of the same as going natural as in foods. Like when you go from a normal diet to a raw food diet, your body has to adjust. Same thing goes for your hair and because I always used shampoo which dried out my hair, my scalp had to overcompensate oil. Well, this is normal and your scalp has to get used to what it is SUPPOSED to do. So my first week was pretty oilly and gross and all I wanted was to wash my hair with shampoo!! I didn't cave in, I use the V05 passionate fruit smoothie as my cowash and makes my hair feel so good and I feel as though it really cleans my scalp well then I just use garnier strong and long (i think that is the name) for a regular conditioner.
I read the book and I have realized that the message boards at naturallycurly.com are a lot more informative! the book was still good though and it gave me a confidence boost about doing this!
Here is my hair at the end of the first week, it was so oily that it almost looked straight.
I'm really not crazy about the way my hair looked. They say you should give this process up to six weeks and you will notice more drastic changes that are pleasent. Because as of the first week, I was not really feeling it.
Sorry for the blah post, I'm just late so I wanted to explain how it was.
p.s. I told my mom about this who has straight hair and she thought it was disgusting that I'm not using shampoo. I forgot that it does sound gross and I just said it casually haha. Whatever, I know I'm clean and that is all that matters, right?
