DIY Effort

I like trying DIY solutions.

Yesterday I decided to try a solution for itchy scalp that looked good. I bought coconut oil. I didn't bother with expensive stuff since I didn't plan to eat any of it.

This morning I gobbed it onto my scalp and massaged it for a while.

After that I washed it with two different shampoos. 

My scalp wasn't itching but my hair was still oily...and my comb, brush, hands, and probably the towel I'd used.

So, I've washed my hair again...and all my hair care items that came in contact with the coconut oil.

I won't be using that on my hair again.

diy Shampoo

I've been using the same shampoo and conditioner for a long time and was perfectly happy with it. But this past week my hair felt heavy and dirty even after washing it. So I decided that I needed to try a different one just to get whatever was sticking to my hair off. But I needed to wash it today and am going shopping tomorrow.
So I hit the diy site. Honestly, from the looks of it (1 T baking soda and 1 cup of water), I didn't think it was going to be great, but it couldn't be worse than what I was wearing on my head.
While I was at it, I used the linked diy rinse (1 T vinegar and 1 cup water). The hardest part of either was deciding what containers to use.
Washing my hair with baking soda and water wasn't a sensory pleasure. I didn't think it was doing anything. No suds. But I worked it through my hair and it was feeling better. I rinsed it and sprayed the vinegar and water onto it and rinsed it out. I am very tender-headed and ended up spraying some on and leaving it.
I don't smell like a pickle. My hair feels clean and light. I can't believe it. I will use it again. It's cheap and my hair is clean and feels good.
