What to do with NO POO daily workout sweaty hair?

What to do with NO POO daily workout sweaty hair?


I am no poo. What? What the heck is no poo? In the broadest sense, no poo means I don't use shampoo. I use a different type of method to wash my hair that doesn't include chemicals. Because I am no poo, and have been for 2 years now. I've always been able to go up to 1 week without having to wash my hair. Does it stink? You'd think it would, but it doesn't - it's weird how that works. 

Now, that I workout 6 days a week and I'm sweating out the bad stuff, it's causing my hair to look and feel different because it's holding daily sweet and releasing all the bad crap I've been eating. Sweating can also cause damage to your hair with the salt that is released. So I have to change the way that I take care of my hair now.

I use the baking soda wash and the apple cider vinegar rinse as my conditioner. This was recommended when I was first doing Cancer Treatments (immunotherapy). The first 3 months were hell on wheels because my hair was so greasy and dull and just really unhealthy. In the 4th month, I went to have my hair tight french braided. I was requesting my hair to be water spritzed and she was combing through my hair and could not find one piece of dry skin anywhere. It's also great on the pocketbook too. It is only pennies to wash my hair. No more $30 Shampoo's. But better no more harmful chemicals. 

I now have to do a daily rinse to get the salt out of my sweaty hair. So to stay with NO POO and for whatever product I use, it still needs to also be BOBBY APPROVED. I use 1/4 of a tablet of Sal de Uvas PIcot, Effervescent Powder Solution, Antacid. LOL wait what? For real!! It gets the salt out and keeps me from damaging my hair. I just mix 1/4 of the tablet to an 8oz of water and rinse full out and back on the t-shirt goes on for as long as I have to allow it.

Today was a my weekly hair washing day. So it's baking soda, (1/2 tsp in 8 oz lukewarm water) and then wash out and then add apple cider vinegar (just a tsp in 8 oz lukewarm water). Wrap in a t-shirt for 2-3 hours and I'll be done. I never brush my hair when it's wet (ever) - I use a big wide bamboo comb and pick through my hair and then wrap up to dry as much as it can in the t-shirt. Then I finger combed it. 

Mindset: It was a good day for me. I really try to do extra breathing.
