I miss shampoo and conditioner.
I was happy with this no-poo adventure until I colored my hair a month or so ago and was required to use a packet of sealing conditioner. It felt like silken heaven on my hair.
Since that day, my hair has felt waxy at the roots and straw-like at the ends. I've tried changing my recipe, brushing more to distribute the oil, even some leave-in oils on the ends....And it has yet to feel as nice as it did for the months leading up to my coloring.
Now I am seriously considering switching to some kind of crunchy shampoo (because I still don't want harmful chemicals in my hair), or even just a cleansing conditioner.
I don't know if coloring was my downfall, or if my hair's chemistry has just changed a bit with the summer weather we've been having, but I do know that I don't like the way my hair feels anymore. Thankfully, it doesn't look as unfortunate as it feels.
And some days I would just love to actually be able to run my hands through my hair in the shower, which I cannot do without painful pulling and that nasty feeling of oil in water.
So. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it for me to keep trying. David still likes it, and I'm so glad for him, but I miss having soft hair.
