new *hair* obsession

the whole “no shampoo” or “no ‘poo” hair fad has really caught my attention starting with a chaz dean info-mercial for “wen” and then i saw this new york times article that has been kicking around on the internets.  my hair (and face) are super oily.  gross oily.  overactive nasty oily.  i figured that if i didn’t shampoo my hair it would lead to mega disaster, so forget that . . . maybe if wen was not almost $30 for 16oz i would consider trying it.

then liz and i were strolling though the new section at the christmas tree shop and way up on a top shelf this caught my eye:

way, way up there on the top and i still heard that little light in my brain go “ding.  look at that.”  it smelled good, which might make me want to buy most anything (hence my love for bath and body care products, so many of them smell good).  the cucumber smells nice, but i liked the smell of the olive better, but the olive was for dry hair, and mine is not dry.  the “hair one” is available at sally beauty supply for $10 as well as the christmas tree shop for $9.

here is a picture of my hair after a recent haircut, it’s all styled up, but i washed it with shampoo.  let’s call this the “before picture”:

after a few weeks of “hair one” washing i will update with an after picture.  i would also really, really like to try “wen” but i’m not sure i will get around to it because it involves internet ordering . . . although it is available on amazon.
