No scrubs update (AM)

"I don't want no scrubs", so TLC said in 1999.
 And so I said almost three months ago when I decided to stop shampooing my hair.
I wrote about it here, when I was a few weeks into the experiment.
Now it's not so much an experiment as a way of life, and my hair looks like this.

I note that it's kind of hard to see what my hair looks like there. So here is another angle, with about a 5 degrees difference to the tilt of the head.

The long and short of it is that I love it. Even though I still have days when my hair looks pretty crap, most of the time it looks what I have come to characterise as 'decent'. At it's best, it looks 'quite good', but I haven't been able to capture that on camera. The thing that's great about it is that it's pretty predictable. That is absolutely not the case with shapooed hair. Or at least, my shampooed hair.  The thing I don't love is that it doesn't have that freshly shampooed smell ever, and that's a pretty nice smell, something that I miss. Also, sometimes the layer underneath the top layer looks a bit greasy. You can't see it, so it's not a big issue, but I'm wondering what to do about that.
Mate, any ideas?

No scrubs update (AM)

I'm a few weeks in to the No Scrubs experiment and shit is getting interesting.  Here is a reminder of what my hair looked like when last we spoke about it:

Frizzy. I think that's the word for it. 

Here's what's happening on my head right now...

Less frizz, right?! Right. A bit of curl, right?! Right. 

And in general, my hair feels a lot fuller and while it looks a lot more wild, it feels a lot more predictable and manageable. These are very good things. But I can't like to you Crabbies, I kind of miss washing my hair. I miss having it as an option if I want to look a bit nice. Not that it really worked that way in practice, but it felt like that's the way it worked and that perception was a powerful thing. 

At the moment, I spend half the time I designate to thinking about hair loving it and touching it. The other half I worry about how greasy it looks.  I've been told it doesn't look greasy at all, but it's on my mind. Literally! Ha. Not really. My mind is not on my scalp, that's crazy. 

I'm going to soldier on, of course. I'm considering trying 'washing' it in baking soda and conditioning it in apple cider vinegar, as the internet advocates for the No Scrubs set. But I wonder whether that will compromise the experiment. I don't know. I guess I'll wait and see.
