Matthew 9: 2

And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed.  And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven."

Our Lord is so awesome!!!!!


No Poo Journal day 7

In a hurry again today.  Did not wash my hair, and you can see its flat.  Its really oily.  Trying to deal with it while I figure out what to do.

Have a GREAT day!

Matthew 10: 24-25

A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.  It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master.  If they have called the master of the house beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.

 

No Poo Journal day 6

I was in a hurry today, so only 1 picture.  I washed my hair, but its starting to get  a little oily.  Gotta figure this out.....

Have a GREAT day!

Matthew 11:28

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Oh, do I need rest.  Thank you Lord for taking all my burdens off my shoulders.


No Poo Journal:  Day 5

 I did not wash my hair today, and it still looks good!

Have a GREAT day!

Matthew 12:50

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.

Amen!  ALL Christians are family!


No Poo Journal:  Day 4

I washed my hair today, and it did MARVELOUS!  It has so much bounce and shine.  You can't see it in this picture, but it does have shine.

 Again, I wash my hair with 1 cup of water mixed with 1 Tablespoon of Baking Soda.  Then I rinse that out.  Then, I condition my hair with 1 Cup of water mixed with 1 Tablespoon vinegar.

No, there is no vinegar smell.  Hubby does a smell test all the time.

And the best news?  No more carcenogens being washed INTO my hair and then fed to my scalp and body through my hair folacles. 

Have a GREAT day!

Proverbs 27:17

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

NO POO JOURNAL:  DAY 3

On day 3 you are to wash your hair with the baking soda paste (see day 1 for amounts).  And also condition it with vinegar.  And I actually remembered the vinegar today!!!!!  The amounts you need for this is 2 Tblsp Apple cidar vinegar and 1 Cup water mixed together. 

Here are the results:

WOW!  Look at that body, in that hair!  I LOVE it!  No, my hair does not smell like vinegar.  My hubby even did the sniff test and he said he could not smell anything.  This do is with no gel, no hairspray, no nothing.  Just wash my hair with baking soda and condition it with vinegar, then I blew it dry, and curled it with a hot air curling brush.  That is it!

And the hairdo lasted all day.  And it was a rainy day, therefore my hair would normally flop.  But, not today.

I did not feel any tingling of my scalp today, nor did I feel my hair was heavy.  I just LOVE the results!

Onward we go!

Exodus 23:2

You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice.


NO POO JOURNAL:  DAY 2

On day 2, you are not supposed to wash your hair.  So, I didn't.  But, I still curled my hair and almost, I mean almost grabbed the hairspray to spray my hair, but caught myself.  I set the bottle back down on the counter just in time. 

Here are your results from day 2.

This day, my hair was a little flatter than normal.  Had a few more fly aways.  And felt a little more heavy.  But, no noticable flakes or anything.

On to the next day!

Ephesians 4:32

Be Kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.


Today I am starting a series on NO POO.  Yep, you heard me, no poo, meaning no shampoo or conditioner in my hair from here on out.  In fact, I don't want to put any more product in my hair ever again! (well, except for color)

So, I have been contemplating doing this for several months now.  But, I've always been afraid to because I color my hair every 5-6 weeks.  If I didn't color my hair, I would be completely grey, and I am just too young to be grey, Hmmmph!  Then, the last time I was getting my hair done, my hairdresser noticed while she was curling it that I had product build up in my hair.  She told me to use baking soda to get it out.  Well, duh that is what no poo is.  So, if my hairdresser was telling me to use it, it must be safe.  But, it still took me several weeks to start it again (I go get my hair colored next week.  See how long it took me to make my decision?). 

What really made me decide was my hair started falling out.  Honestly, my hair falls out all the time, I have a TON of hair, so I never miss it.  This time though, it seems to be falling out a lot more than usual.  I still have a ton of hair left, so I don't miss it.  But, it got me thinking and realizing that maybe all of the product in my hair was drying out my hair and causing it to break off.  Who knows if this is the real reason, but it sounded good.

So, I started no poo........ halfway.  I had baking soda in my bathroom already, but I didn't have the vinegar.  So, the first day, I washed my hair with 1 Tblsp of Baking soda, mixed with 1 Cup of water.  You are supposed to scrub your scalp with this mixture.

 

And here are the results.



 

 

 

 

Honestly, I did notice a few white spots in my hair this day.  I'm thinking it was left over baking soda.  But, once I dried and curled my hair, I never noticed it again.  Also, my hair felt heavy for some reason.  It could be from the product still in my hair.  And my scalp tingled a little all day, not enough to bother me, I just noticed it.

But, all in all it was a good experience.  Now, if I can keep this going, I will not only save a lot of money, but I will not be putting any carcenogan (sp?) on my hair anymore.

Have a great day!
