No poo...the Kari version

No poo! HA! I bet your not expecting after a title like that I will be talking about a bathroom issue not going shampoo free. I have been reading about this and since I have psoriasis and it is rather bothersome especially in the winter then I thought it was worth a try. So today is Day 1. Today I wet my hair in the kitchen sink and then saturated it with 1 cup of water and 1 tbs of baking soda mixed well. Then I wrapped it in a towel and let it sit for about 5 minutes. I then mixed 1 cup of water with 1 tbs of apple cider vinegar. I jumped in the shower and rinsed the baking soda out very well and then I put in the vinegar water. I was expecting some burning during this but I didn't have any. I then rinsed it out and expected my hair to still feel dirty. I was wrong. It is really very clean. I think my hair has more volume(which isn't that great since I have a lot of volume already) even. So far I can say that my scalp isn't any more itchy but not any less but this is day 1.

I named this the Kari version because at some point you go without any styling product. I am not in any way shape or form going to do that cause I don't want to make bozo jealous. I also have not added the coconut oil to the steps and I am not sure that I will since I haven't been using any kind of conditioner in over a year. Plus I don't keep coconut oil on hand.
