Does it help if you wash every other or does your hair get greasy like it did before?Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280585722372047833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910728423466350055.post-23122615944915361212009-10-29T04:30:08.992-06:002009-10-29T04:30:08.992-06:00Two things:

I am also concerned about your "extra volume" statement, that's the last thing my voluminous hair needs. Maybe I'll toss shampoo and stick with conditioner for a while. (Niv is very concerned about the whole idea, by the way)<br /><br />2) During a patchouli stage that my parents had, I was a tiny ballet dancer with serious gel needs, so I did the flaxseed gel thing for a while. I don't have good memories of that time, it didn't work as well and I sometimes found little seeds on my hair.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032149611063541185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910728423466350055.post-10972495998579875032009-10-28T21:10:17.037-06:002009-10-28T21:10:17.037-06:00Amy, this may work really well for you, especially...Amy, this may work really well for you, especially if you feel like your hair is thin and flat. I don't know what kind of transition period you might be in for, but one thing to try would be to start on the BS/ACV, then use shampoo a few days later when you feel like it's too greasy, then do the BS/ACV until you can't stand it, then shampoo, etc. I think this would make your transition period longer but might make it so you feel more presentable in the meantime. The baking soda *does* clean your hair so it's not like skipping a day of shampoo. My transition was no big deal at all, so I don't have too much else to add. I hope you can figure out a way to try it if you're interested!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570758633378171985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910728423466350055.post-34326474725108061342009-10-28T20:39:23.403-06:002009-10-28T20:39:23.403-06:00Interesting.

I work in an office setting, and a couple of weeks, heck a couple of DAYS of greasy hair just won't do! My concern over this is made worse by the fact that my hair seems to have been changing recently. I used to be able to wash my hair every other day or every third day with no problem. But sometime in the last six months or so, it changed to where if I don't shower everyday, my hair looks NASTY. And my hair is straight and thin, so there is no hiding the nast.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear it worked for you! Think I should go for it anyway??? Any ideas of how to get over the greasy stage without much ado?Amy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13939112771446559496noreply@blogger.com
