So I found some more random blog posts about not washing (or rather, not shampooing) your hair. I'm still getting a ton of build-up (sebum) on my hairbrush (as in, every time I brush my hair, my brush is so dirty I feel as though I should wash my hairbrush) but it hasn't been even two weeks yet, and what I've been reading is that it takes two to six weeks for the oil overproduction to stop. I could take pictures of my hairbrush, but it would be a gross visual, thus, no visuals.
I washed my hair with the bar shampoo yesterday because I was at the gym, so that may be making the process take longer too.
The baking soda mix (1 TB baking soda to 1 cup of water) does seem to break things down, but even with the vinegar rinse I can't seem to get everything out and I end up with . . . not exactly flakes of something in my hair, but well, I guess flakes. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I've gone through the trouble of truly measuring out the ingredients, to make sure the proportions are correct, and shaking the bottles before application. Which is why I end up going back to the soap bar at the gym--at least then I think everything is coming out of my hair. But not everything, because I don't want to overstrip my hair.
In a show of support, DH has also stopped washing his hair everyday with shampoo (he thinks the baking soda mixture is madness) so his hair is much softer now, much as it was when he started using conditioner or leave-in styling cream. I think his hair is what I want. Aside from its very short length. Hopefully my hair gets better.
