Could you, would you...and why maybe you should....

Wash your face with oil? Use conditioner to wash your hair, and vinegar to rinse it? Shun commercial, chemical-laden beauty in favour of simple, nourishing treatments for your hair, skin and body? Become your own alchemist, or join in the experiments here. It's Science...sort of.

CO experiment, day 3

S-U-C-C-E-S-S, that's the way you spell success! So far at least, anyways.
When I looked at my hair this morning it was clear that I am onto a winner with stealing fiance's shampoo! My hair was soft, had body and movement, and looked pretty banging. I think I could have gotten away with a second day...except that underneath my hair was a slightly sticky, greasy ewwwwwwwwwww.
Fortunately, I spent a good couple of hair procrastinating at work reading up on CO washing, so I already knew what to do! I modified my technique, wetting my hair thoroughly but then dividing it into two sections, top to bottom, and applying conditioner to each. Shampoo with lather down through the sections of your hair when applied, but with conditioner I'd been finding that a bit hard and so was pretty unsurprised to discover an uneven level of cleanliness.
I left my hair down today, and it's rather gorgeous. I also applied some of my lovely usual condish to the ends, to give them a little extra love. My hair is soft, bouncy, voluminous and wavier than usual. It seems to be behaving in slightly different ways to usual, it's hard to explain...individual strands are moving more than usual, so yes, maybe still a little fly-away, though it is a bit windy today so perhaps that's to be expected. There also seems to just be more of it.
Tomorrow is Saturday, and I'm not sure what I'll do. I'd planned a weekly shampoo and deep treatment as I don't think I can go CO all the time, but I typically go for quite a long run on Sunday so perhaps that is the day.
I know it's only day 3 but so far I'm really quite pleased. I don't think I'd ever go so far as wanting to do this all the time, but I want to stick out the month except for the weekly wash.
