Four Months -- No 'Poo

No, I have not been constipated for months. A few months ago I quit using shampoo. Why? It's expensive, it keeps the body producing excess oil, and I'd like to cut down on the amount of chemicals I use and dump into the water system. (Not that it's a massive amount of chemical waste...) Going no-poo doesn't mean you quit washing your hair. Every other day or so, I scrub a baking soda-water paste in my scalp and wash it out. For the first month, I was a grease ball. My hair and my face felt greasy. I looked like a teenager covered in pimples and wore a scarf. (I didn't care; I don't have a paying job where I need to look presentable.) After the month of no 'poo, the oils evened out. My hair has body to it that it never had before. No more 'poo for my hair.
