Q:1) I love your pixie cut! Seriously, you're rocking it. 2) Do you use dry shampoo? I tried Dove's dry shampoo (because it was the cheapest I could find) and it worked really well but only lasted for about 5 uses. I am not a fan of washing my hair every day but I hate having flat hair. Any suggestions?

Thanks! I’m actually trying to grow it out, but I know I can always come back to the pixie. Right now, I’m not using any hair care—shampoo, conditioner, or other product. I have only rinsed with water for a week now. I’m noticing a little more oil at the roots than normal, but I’m going to give it a few more days before I try putting anything on my hair. I have really full hair from the natural curl, so what I’m noticing is that not washing my hair is keeping my end from frizzing and giving my roots more volume. Though my roots feel a little more oily, I think they have more volume because the natural chemical makeup of my hair isn’t being compromised by the chemicals in shampoo. I’ve read that a lot of no ‘poo-ers rinse with a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar. That might remove oil without flattening. I’m going to try it if my roots get too oily, but you might want to see if ACV will clean your hair enough to give it back a little volume. When I try ACV, I’ll be sure to let you know how it worked for me!
