No Poo. almost two weeks in

hey so here's an update about how my hair's doing. I can't believe it's only been a few days. I feel like i've been mixing baking soda and apple cider vinegar, honey, lemon solutions for many moons already. And i haven't even done it that many times. So far every other day washing has been working well. from these first days i have learned two things. One, I need to find a more feasible method of mixing and storing my products. Not to say that it's terribly inconvenient to gather the ingredients in my bathroom every other day, but i feel that I could be more efficient. The second thing is that I would prefer for my hair to not smell like vinegar. The smell is not overpowering by any means, and doesn't linger around me, but according to a couple helpful noses I know that I smell like vinegar only very close to the nose. I believe the addition of honey and lemon to the conditioner has helped this, but also I believe that there is a way for me to smell pleasant, possibly through the addition of essential oils. so I'll look into that a bit and report back. I could also resolve this concern by putting product in my hair afterwards, but i fear that would introduce more suspicious chemicals into contact with my body.

Additonally, after clearing out most of the hair products from my shower all that was left to inspect was my body wash by Softsoap.

yup, here it is. an image of the soap i use.

Upon a quick check of the ingredients list I found that I have yet to escape from SLS because I still rub it over my body everyday. So I suppose on my next trip to the independent supermarket i'll have to check the hippie soaps.
