Accidental Discovery

by | Apr 3, 2013 | Throwback | 5 comments

I did something kind of by accident, and it worked.

I was sick over the weekend, but Saturday night I went ahead and took my shower, washed and blow dried my hair in preparation to leave early the next morning to visit the in-laws.  Well, as luck would have it, I woke up sick as a dog on Sunday and the only place we went was right back to bed.

On Monday, after spending over 24 hours in bed, I needed to feel human again.  My hair was pretty gross, but I really didn’t want to wash it again (I try to go two days between shampoos), but it was a hot mess.

So I took a shower and just conditioned my hair.  I don’t normally put conditioner by the roots, but I figured, eh, what the heck.  I’m just going right back to bed anyway.

It’s now wednesday, and I haven’t washed my hair again yet.  Apparently when I conditioned my hair, it broke up and rinsed out some of the gunk.  I’ve never been able to go 5 days and still wear my hair down.  Usually by the third day it’s pony tail city, and even then it’s questionable.  I mean, dry shampoo helps, but daaaaaang.

day 5
Anything that can stretch the time between shampoos to me is a winner.  And this freaking worked.

    I need to start going at least a day in between shampooing my hair! But between the fact that my hair gets so greasy so quickly, and getting all sweaty after the JM workout, I don't know HOW to not wash it every day. I'm still waiting to snag some Batiste!

    Your hair looks truly amazing and I am so glad that you are finally feeling a little better!

    Love your hair, boo! I need to try the conditioner thing after working out. Maybe if I condition and spray in some dry shampoo I can stretch it out 🙂

    Love you!

    Whaaaat?! I'm gonna try that! However, I can't even go a full day in between shampoos. 🙁 My hair is naturally oily. I need to train it to last longer. I'm going to try this!
