Green Hair Challenge: Life with no shampoo (Continued)

So to continue off the last post (from day 4).

I was very surprised how my hair was already showing improvement. My hair wasn't as greasy as it used to be towards the end of the day.

So continuing my progress updates...

• Day 5: washed hair with conditioner in the morning
• Hair feels very clean and soft!
• No excessive oil even towards the end of the day; worked until 10:30pm and hair was in great condition
  
•  Day 6: washed hair with conditioner in the morning
• I was actually quite concern that my hair would be greasy even after a conditioner wash; it seems like oil is building up a little bit but nothing serious or very noticeable
•  Day 7: washed hair with shampoo in the morning
• I actually could have waited another day since oil wasn't building up as much as usual, but it was one of those morning after 2 weeks of craziness and I just want to wash my hair, haha
• Day 8: washed hair with conditioner in the morning
• Ugh, I can already tell that my hair is greasy after drying my hair, guess I will need to use dry shampoo later 
• Day 9: washed hair with shampoo
•  I really shouldn't be using shampoo yet but I just couldn't stand it, haha
• Day 10: washed hair with shampoo again
• A total fail..just had to wash my hair with shampoo
• Day 11: Back on conditioner
• Guess hair regressed a little bit, quite greasy, ugh

I just wonder how long this can last. 

Green Hair Challenge: Life with no shampoo

So what does my hair mean to me? It used to be pretty much a source of self confident. I never actually cared about the length of my hair until I met my ex-boyfriend. In fact, I have always prefer short hair because I think it shows my personality. Ever since I had met my ex-boyfriend, I decided to let my hair grow out. My hair was extremely long and beautiful for the 3 years that we were dating, until I decided to cut it in a short bob, then a pixie after a rough breakup with him.

Many may think that having a pixie haircut may be the easiest hair style to manage. SO WRONG! My hair would go crazy in the morning because of the way that I sleep, which led me to wash my hair at least twice a day (even 3,4 times in summer) to keep it looking nice.

Fast forward, not only my heart had been through a war, my hair too but just a war with all the chemicals in shampoos. Now my hair gets extremely greasy within a few hours after a wash and it's driving me crazy. So I decided to take on this green hair challenge, hoping that my hair will be less greasy and healthier.

I don't think I can ever go completely without shampoo, so my goal is really to cut down on the shampooing and using substitutes, such as watering washing, conditioner washing, dry shampoo, etc,  as alternatives.

• Day 1: Washed hair once with conditioner
• Not too bad; hair is very soft after the wash
  
•  Day 2: Washed hair once with conditioner
• Specially spent extra time in massaging scalp to make sure hair is clean; did not notice any excessive oil building
  
• Day 3: Washed hair once with conditioner, and followed by dry shampoo
• Oil is starting to build up noticeably ever after washing and drying hair, so I had to apply dry shampoo to get rid of the excessive oil (especially my bang) so I didn't look ridiculous when I headed out
   
• Day 4: Washed hair once with shampoo in the morning
• Since it's a work day, so I decided to wash my hair with shampoo in the morning; I wonder how long will it take for my hair's health to return..?

Will continue to update my progress and outcome!
