How to survive 30 days without shampoo?

Its all in the routine.

Washing your hair with just water is not enough.

However, if youe looking for an all-natural routine, co-washing isnt suitable.

A combination that allowed me to keep my hair shiny and was light on my roots.

The baking soda gives a gentle exfoliation to the scalp and helps with any excess of sebum.

I found this helped me have more of a routine.

There wasnt an immediate effect visibly but over time, my hair felt softer and stronger.

Let it cool, then apply onto hair and leave on for an hour.

I found it very moisturizing and left my hair shinya restorative treatment.

Days 26 to 30

The appearance of my hair has changed.

It is voluminous and full-bodied and despite not using shampoo, it doesnt smell.

Would I do it again?

Maybe, but probably just as an annual hair and scalp detox treatment.

I must admit that on day 31, my shampoo hair wash was the best smelling of my life.
