6 months no-poo

It has been 6 months since I stopped using commercial hair products, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, catch up here

I detoxed, hated it, kept with it, still hated it, pushed through, now LOVE it.

I ended up extending the natural based products to my body and face too, best choice ever!

Hit a hurdle with the original method as the weather warmed up. I started getting reactions to the Apple Cider Vinegar, it caused me to itch all over, constantly, it was fucking horrid. Took a while to realise what the issue was, and of course I then needed to find an alternative.

*cue endless research, in hindsight, I went fucking OCD, big time*

I decided on the Sukin Organics range. My local Priceline pharmacy stocks it, and the price was comparable, if not cheaper, than the "salon quality" products.

Ahhh, it's a beautiful collection!
I alternate between using the Sukin shampoo, and the shampoo bar I got from Cathedral Range, an Australian owned and operated family business, they make it all! The products are amazing, I can't speak highly enough about their products. (nope, still not sponsored by anyone!)

Cathedral Range, Shampoo Bar (Cedarwood), $4.95 and lasts forever.


I go on average, 10 days between washes. I can go longer, however this heat means I sweat, and it's gross. 

How's my hair now? 

Wonderful! 





(and, as you can see, my skin is looking so much better. PMS breakouts have reduced, and the pigmentation and scars are reducing. LOVE it)
