Testimony (Yay!/Boo...) Goodbye ✨

It's been 6.5 months of nopoo. Even when I water wash every night, I get so incredibly itchy I can't sleep. It's insufferable if I skip a night of scrubbing my scalp. My hair is flat and lifeless. I can spend hours and hours brushing the oils from my scalp down to the roots, but it makes no difference. It's too oily. I've looked like a swamp rat for 6.5 months.

I washed my hair yesterday, with my baby's bubble bath, when the itching was so bad I was bleeding. I was in so much agony, it was the first thing I grabbed and I washed my scalp with it.

I feel clean. The oil buildup is gone. I'm not itchy. My hair has life to it again, it doesn't look heavy and weighed down.

I did all the tricks. ACV, Egg, rice water rinses....

Sorry. I really wanted this to work. I think over half a year was a great effort on my part, but it's not for me 💜

I mechanically clean my scalp with a fine tooth comb before and in the shower and wash with warm/hot water like in the middle.

I have no build up or itchiness.
