laclaryce replied to your post: Yeah, let’s do that! Tell Aya! It’ll be fun, then we can make a massive montage of hair growth at the end.

I’m growing my hair out for the whole getting married shenanigans I’ll be up to next year… but it’s already kind of long, just wild. Can I play? Also (and I mean WOW this is pansy) you inspired me to try a weight… I mean just one because I don’t know what I’m doing / am learning. Tim showed me some triceps lift things to do….. and I. Loved. It. I plan on using your blog for help learning what to do :) fyiii

Of course!! Any and all hair goals will be supported! 

And yay for lifting!! The fitblr community actually got me into lifting, and I love it.

FITBLR FRIENDS! Like this post so that my friend here can follow you and ask you all the questions about lifting!

I’m in the best mood.

  • I had one hell of a cheat day yesterday, and I didn’t wake up fat!
  • I worked out on the bro side of the gym like it was no one’s business
  • Barbell deadlifts don’t hurt my wrist like dumbbell deadlifts, so I was much more comfortable!
  • I added five reps to my first set of hyperextensions this week!
  • I realized after working out that I didn’t have a bad body image day all weekend. A first in many, many weekends. I haven’t had a bad body image day since Friday before last—two and a half weeks!
  • My hair is still looking so amazing. It’s the most curly it’s every been. I love it a ton.
  • My jeans aren’t cutting off circulation to my legs or slowly etching bruises into my hips. (I think that means they actually fit)
  • My room is CLEAN! I stayed up late, much too late, and cleaned it. It’s so nice to lay in bed and not be stressed out or anxiety ridden over my messy, messy room.
  • Stuart is making me hamburgers and sweet potato fries for dinner.

What’s not to be happy about?!

georgia—peach replied to your photoset: I used to wish for hair this curly. Turns out all…

wait…so what do you do to your hair? just rinse…no?

Yep! When I shower, I just rinse my hair. I spend a decent amount of time scrubbing my scalp really well with my fingertips—not my fingernails. I probably spend two or three times the amount of time I used to shampoo my hair just scrubbing my scalp. I do the rest of my shower stuff, then I rinse again. This time, I flip my hair over and rinse it with cold water. Luckily, I have a removable shower head, so this is really easy and I don’t have to stand in cold water. It could also be done with the faucet. I rinse with cold water to close my hair cuticles, which are opened with hot water, so my hair won’t frizz. Once a week, I rinse my hair with apple cider vinegar. ACV cleans off the residual buildup that rinsing alone for a week didn’t, but without the oil stripping chemicals that shampoo has. When shampoos strips the oil from your scalp, your scalp works overtime to replace the oils. So it’s possible that shampooing ultimately makes hair oilier! So far, I’m pretty pleased with the results of not using shampoo. And even though I sweat heavy five or six days a week, my hair doesn’t smell bad. I ask my boyfriend to sniff it frequently ;)

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?

nursingmymind

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!
