Homework Assignment 3

So, for our third homework assignment, we are supposed to try something new for a month to see if it will develop into a habit. I have decided to try transitioning my hair to a "no 'poo" routine!

Commercial shampoos have a lot of crazy chemicals in them that are terribly harsh on your hair. It takes about 6 weeks to transition your hair off of shampoo. Instead, you should wash with baking soda dissolved in water and condition with diluted vinegar. Eventually, some people wash with water only. Your hair gets to the best it has ever been -- after a few weeks of miserable hair.

This should save tons of money and bottles as well! Even if plastic bottles are recyclable, they are still a waste when I can buy a huge box of baking soda at once and dilute it myself. And plastic tends to be downcycled, trapping those materials in speed bumps.

So, hopefully this works out really well. I will share an update about once a week!
