As far as my hair experiment, it's not going the greatest. Not that the baking soda wash/vinegar rinse doesn't work as advertised- it does. Anton tried too, and his hair was -amazing- afterwards. My problem seems to be I have too much frickin' hair. I tried doubling and tripling the recipe, but so far, no luck. The parts that do get cleaned are beautiful, but the parts I miss are noticeable. I think I'm going to put the experiment on hold until my next hair cut and get my hair thinned.
To give you an idea of what I'm working with, my hair hangs eleven inches past my shoulders, and when pulled into a ponytail it measures 4 inches around, not including the hair band. I wasn't allowed to grow my hair out until I was in JR high because my mom hated dealing with it, and kept making me get page boy hair cuts, and now it's hard for me to get it short because I have flash backs to this:
Yeah, it's cute on a 3 year old. Not so much on a 12 year old. Or a 28 year old.
This is from a few months ago (Now the line from my old dye job is to my chin. Again, I neeeedd aaa haaaiiirrr cuuutttt.) but gives you a pretty good idea on what my hair looks like as a grown up.
Not that I'm complaining about it- My gram and my mom both claimed to have hair just as thick that they lost as they had kids. My gram is almost completely bald* now and my mom's hair is thinning**. I just need to find way to manage- probably going to invest in some squirt bottles for better coverage and try again.
*Okay, it chemically abusing her hair with dyes for 50+years and her blood pressure medication probably have more to do with hair loss then her five kids, but I'm not risking it!
**Same thing. Perms and hair dye since the 80's.
