How does this work?
It will take about six weeks for your hair to adjust. I found that during my six weeks there was probably less than ten days that I understood the true meaning of hat hair and refused to go without one.
- No shampoo, just rinse your hair and give your head a vigorous massage in the shower.
- Use warm or lukewarm water, not boiling hot.
How often you rinse your hair will be a matter of trial and error, I seem to have gone back to a regular rhythm of rinsing every two to three days, that used to be how often I would shampoo.
Be prepared for change…
Your hair will not stink however it will no longer smell like shampoo.
You can make it smell like whatever you want with some essential oils, perfume etc
The texture of your hair will change – for me this has meant less frizz, my bad hair days have been reduced by about 90%
