No Poo
Hahahahahahaha, I have tricked you all. You think I am gonna be blogging about poop, or colonic cleansing, or some such crap, but not at all! No Poo, means no shampoo. It it for girls with curly hair, that have a hard time with the frizzies, and hair drying out, and breakage and all that business.
So the program is this. Shampooing is a no no. That doesn't mean that curly headed girls run around with a head that smells like a filthy pair of mens athletic socks, no, they still wash their hair, but with conditioner only. Using actual shampoo is a very rare occurance.
It happened like this:
One day while I was at work, dinking around on the internet, I stumbled across this concept on craigslist. In the beauty forum. I had to read quite a few posts, before I figured out what on earth they were babbling about. Then to clarify it all, I googled it, and came across this:
http://www.wikihow.com/Follow-the-Curly-Girl-Method-for-Curly-Hair
That pretty much explains it all. So I have been following the suggestions, including "plopping", which was ANOTHER ambiguous term that raised my eyebrow. Plopping, however, is a method of wrapping your wet hair in a t shirt or a cloth to help it dry without frizzing. Towels supposedly frizz your hair.
Plopping is a waste of my time. I just let it mostly air dry, and then use a VERY light blow dry with a diffuser on warm.
I DID invent one new little trick for myself, which I shall endeavour to name. It involves pulling all my hair onto the tip top of my head, putting it into a fabric scrunchie, and sleeping with it that way. Perhaps I could call it the "cockscomb look", "I Dream of Genie Gone Wild", or something equally obscure. So what happens? In the morning? I have the biggest hair EVAH! And kind of curlier than usual. I haven't perfected it yet, but it holds promise.
My goal is to grow my curly locks down past my lardass. Camouflage if you will. It just may work, with this new no poo business.
Seriously! I'm not shittin you!
