Addict

I have been craving shampoo.  I wake up thinking about shampooing my hair. I'm fantasizing about having my hair washed by someone else at a salon. When I go into Walmart or Target, I go down the shampoo aisle and smell all of the different shampoo 'flavors.'  I'm not gonna lie, I miss shampoo.

So today, I woke up feeling an oily, itchy mess, I felt like a greaseball. My hair was so dirty on 'no wash' day that I had no choice but to slick it back in a ponytail when I went to work.  And so, my friend shampoo and I had a visit.  I only had a couple tablespoons of baking soda wash in the no-poo bottle, so I squeezed a half teaspoon of amazing smelling shampoo into the no-poo bottle, and filled the bottle with hot water and shook it up.

I figured, if I use very little and dilute it, hopefully it won't have such a harsh detergent effect. Just a little taste couldn't hurt, right? The result, clean, manageable, really ridiculously good smelling hair. I have to say I feel pretty for the first time in several weeks. Now, whether that feeling is directly related to shampoo, or some other contributing factor, I'm not sure.  But I'm thinking that both baking soda wash and shampoo-lite have a place in my life.  Balance.
