No More Poo Day 2 and 3

I don't think I am going to post every day because not that much changes but we shall see..
I ended up blow drying my hair, which I think was a good call- I noticed that my hair was super shiny! and the texture is smoother! I also brushed through it a ton-so that always helps.. the articles say to get a boar's head brush- but I just bought a new brush, so I am going to wait on that one. It rained this weekend and when my hair got wet i got subtle whiffs of vinegar, but it wasn't that bad. I haven't noticed it being majorly oily.. and my ends feel better- they look alive. My scalp kinda itches, but it always itches.. so that's not really a change...

I was talking about this at church and one of the ladies used to be a hair dresser and she thinks this is kind of silly- she stated that back in the 1900s people had hygiene issues and wore their hair in braids or up.. which she is totally right.. and she said my hair was probably getting dried out from the hair dryer and the straightener, not my shampoo.. but she said i might as well try, because all i have to do is wash it with shampoo if I decide to give up- not a high risk.

I do think she is right about the dryer/straightener, but in theory, I won't have to use them as much because my natural hair oils should control my waviness.. but who knows..

so I am not sure what to do next. I am not sure if I should wash my hair with just water or do the baking soda thing.. Or maybe I can rinse with water and then do the ACV for shine.. BC i think the BS is kind of harsh to use too often.. Maybe I will just do that once a week? or 2x.. not sure.. too many options!!!
