Wow. Has it seriously been almost a year since I went no-poo? I find that hard to believe!!

After this update, where I said that I was washing every other day, I’ve been able to cut back to every 3rd or 4th day. It’s been incredible, really! My hair hasn’t been great lately, but I’m not sure if that’s pregnancy hormones or the fact that it’s longer, or the fact that the seasons have changed and I just don’t care enough to change what I’m doing and figure out what my hair needs in the winter Regardless, I’ve been very pleased with the way my hair has responded to the no-poo method and even use baking soda/ACV rinses on Gwen’s hair. Her hair’s great though - I wash it about every 2 weeks with a water wash or two in between and it looks and feels amazing!

As an aside, this post @ Yarn Harlot made me HOWL. If you want a quick rundown of how I feel about my hair, although I’ve yet to find a hair dresser who is as accepting as her’s is, I’ll let her words speak for me:

The lady who cuts my hair is awesome and I love her.  It’s taken us about two years to get where we are now, which is her totally accepting that I’m never going to take an interest in my hair in any way - other than showing up to have it wrangled.  I’m not going to straighten it or buy $80 worth of product.. I’m not going to discuss it or talk about it’s colour.  I’m not going to do any of the things she talks about, and I do not own a diffuser now, nor do I plan on getting one.  I don’t have a style - I have a cut, and I don’t want to talk about maybe getting a style.  I’m going to show up, say something about how I would like to be able to participate more fully in society and not be held back by my hair, and she fixes it, we chat nicely and I leave.  It works great.

Ah, that’s precisely how I feel!
