Being a formerly devout Catholic, Mardi Gras used to mean one last chance to eat lots of chocolate, watch TV, or do whatever fun thing I was going to give up for Lent. Now that I'm much more open minded I've decided that one day I would love to partake in the festivities and traditions associated with Fat Tuesday, a la New Orleans.
Yes, there is some outright craziness, such as this:
But while that level of celebration not my cup of tea, some of the partying would be memorable and FUN.
Meanwhile, back at my house, once everything and everyone is settled, I'm treating myself to a different sort of mask
More details to follow on the outcome of No "Poo," but let's just say that color treated hair doesn't always respond the way you think it will to traditional hair washing methods!! :p
I've just got to start by saying that this No "Poo" stuff isn't for sissies. Don't be fooled my my smiling pic from yesterday morning's first "washing." My goodness, my hair FEELS like "Poo" this morning, and I don't mean shampoo. Ick!
Right now I'm headed out the door to a meeting, with my hair put up, because I'd never be seen out with this dry and flyaway and just plain weird looking.
Later on I'll post a video of what this looks like and what the next step in this experiment will be. As soon as I figure it out ...
Meanwhile, have a great day and thanks for reading!! And enjoy your squeaky clean, shiny, well-groomed looking hair, won't you? And while you do, think about me and my crawly, gunky, icky dreadlock feeling hair this morning ...
You wouldn't believe the number of people who've readDo you "poo?" so far! Who knew "no poo" could stir up such deep feelings?
Inspired by you all, my dear readers, I am putting my long, color treated tresses through a "no poo" experiment for all the world to see. Just this morning I got up and immediately filmed our first little "Docu-Drama" of me and my hair embarking on the dreaded transition into the dubious world of "No Poo."
And so, without further a"Doo," here's my No "Poo" Video!
P.S. Don't be fooled by the number of comments! Several people reached me both through Facebook and Twitter to comment and to tell me that they couldn't post comments either! Dear Fiance, Alpha-Geek Extraordinaire is looking into the issue and we're hoping to have it resolved soon. Very soon.

Of course I'm referring to shampoo. After raising kids and puppies, it was a knee-jerk to think of another kind of "poo," but this "no poo" movement is something that I'm not so quick to
Poo poo -
OK, enough of juvenile word play. There's a serious social movement involving two of the most unlikely groups to stand together: beauty product fanatics and super eco-friendly folks. Both agree that cleansing without actually using shampoo is the best thing possible for gorgeous, healthy looking hair.
