No Poo - One of my Experiments

So I was exploring pinterest because I was bored. I saw a recipe for no poo here and I decided to give it a try it. Basically what "No poo" is, is washing your hair without shampoo. She talks about how shampoo is too strong and it forces your hair to overcompensate by producing too many natural oils (the one it was missing) after you wash it. So what I've started doing (as recommended) is mixing 1 TB baking soda with 1 C water and massaging it into my head, then following it up with 1 TB apple cider vinegar and 1 C water, leaving them both in for one minute afterward. I mixed them both over the same bowl, and when I saw the reaction between the baking soda and vinegar in the bowl when I started measuring the vinegar, I thought - WOW! What am I doing?!? (OK I also thought that when I read the word vinegar, smell much?)

So on Sunday I finally did it. You only need to do that once a week, so I'm saving like a billion dollars on shampoo and conditioner, and even on baking soda and vinegar (I bought the big containers and now I'm kind of rethinking that). It's Wednesday, three days after my first no poo and my hair doesn't seem greasy, so I'm pretty content. I have also begun doing the Insanity workout (oh my goodness it's crazy!), so I took a shower on Monday and got my hair wet. When I did that I smelled the vinegar, but the smell went away when my hair dried. I don't know if that means anything. I sit there and sniff my hair practically all day, but I really honestly don't smell the vinegar. The blog I read says something about vinegar only being active when wet so I'm not too worried. I'm just wondering that if I get a good workout and my head gets sweaty, will I smell like vinegar then? I'll probably have to no poo after that, because that's gross to not wash, but yeah, just wondering. All in all, only three days in, I'm happy with no poo and  I'm glad I found it right as I ran out of shampoo.
