This morning my hair was very slightly oily...and I had to look close and study it to determine if it was just my dark, drab graying roots or if it was in fact oily. In two spots, almost like a couple of patchy areas, it was slightly oily. The first spot was up toward the front just behind my hairline and the other area was on the very top but back of my head- like where a Jewish Yarmulke would sit. I dusted it with cornstarch just to see if it would help again, pulled my hair up in a scrunchie and...all better! No one would know I didn't wash it today. The goal is to get to at least four days between bs/acv routines with wo washes in between.
I did read one post where she mentioned she was washing her hair too much at first with the bs and simply prolonged the onset of her "transition period." But I have also read people say that if you don't want to do this "cold turkey" you can gradually reduce the amount of shampoo by diluting it over several washings until you are using none. I think, for me, I am going to just let my hair tell me- if it feels dirty or oily, I am going to do the bs wash. I figure since I am not stripping natural oils, just cleaning off the excess, it will not disrupt the process. And at this point it seems I should be able to go a few days without using the bs and that is acceptable to me. BS can be harsh if used too much but every few days should be fine i think.
Now about the Honey Lightening I mentioned. I want to brighten up those dark, drab, graying roots. There is a henna coloring option. But I think I'd like to just go lighter. And I have the ingredients for that. Honey, water and cinnamon (there are variations and the type of water matters...more info here.
Will post pics later! :)
