We Are Blending

Dear Readers, it's been a long and winding road, this No "Poo" journey, and it's time I gave you the scoop:

While I can't say there's been any soul searching on this topic, it's certainly been an adventure.  The lure of lush, shiny locks in tandem with healthy, eco-friendliness got the best of me and I plunged into the baking soda, apple cider vinegar world of hair washing.

Ick.

Double ick.  Yuck.

So then I tried a new, homemade shampoo mousse made from marseilles soap, olive oil, black tea, and peppermint essential oil that worked a lot better, but faded my locks, which is most definitely NOT what this chocolatey hair color craving Momma wanted to see.

In the end, I decided that feeling like a dog for a week was enough of an experiment in video blog-ology and natural hair care.  Yesterday I lathered up with my normal shampoo, power boosted with some stuff from my colorist, conditioned, and felt like myself again.

God, it's good to be home!!! I will say, though, that even though the mousse looks a little like "Poo," it makes a fantastic shaving cream for legs! They felt fantastic and silky after drying off.  Who would have thought?  :D
