>during trials and errors i have found some solutions in aiding people get through their 6weeks of nightmare. It gets worse before it gets better =(

Hints:
It is helpful to wash your hair before you go out because when you wash it at night and wake up the next morning it becomes flat.
> Wash hair with WARM water and use FINGERTIPS to scrub through the scalp.
>use hand to rub the ends of the hair, the trick is to try to eliminate as much oil from your hair, your hair will feel greasy =(
> AIR DRY/towel dry your hair UPSIDE DOWN, flip your head over so that your hair falls over your face, (bend at 90 degree angle) and use a SOFT towel to gently wipe away excess water.
>Once your hair is about 50% dry, get a POWERFUL blow dryer to dry off the hair. when is say powerful i don't mean a lot of heat, but a lot of wind that can quickly dry off hair. You don't want to use a blowdryer that takes forever to dry your hair.
>if you don't want to use blow dryer just remember to flip your head upside down and towel dry. it will also have the same results but just not as great and its more time consuming.
>towel dry your hair until its about 90% dry
> You will notice that the volume in your hair is greater than it was before when you use all kinds of shampoo =)
Caution:
>blow dryers will cause dryness so its best not to use it often, but it will give hair that amazing volume.
>if you let your hair air dry naturally, it will look weird like strings errgg.
What to do when feeling greasy in public?
>buy baby powder and use it throughout the day to elminate greasyness. Caution use only a little otherwise you'll end up making your hair look dull. Poor some in hand, rub together and gently run your hand into your hair.
>Carry a comb and comb your hair throught the day or when it feels a bit weird.
>If you do my method your hair can go a full day looking great.
Just some helpful hints in aiding people get through their day without looking greasy. I've read many blogs about peoeple trying to get through their day but no success becaue they can't leave the house.
Yea it is a pain the butt to have to wake up early and wash,blowdry hair but believe me the results are amazing and its worth the effort.
After your hair is back into it's natural state you can give up this method.
>People who are still using shampoo please stop using, it will cause hairlosss, thinning hair, you still want to look good when you are old right?
>Your hair can clean itself, it it can't then don't you think animals would be bold and greasy? LOok at animals they have amazing fur and its not like they shampoo it. LOL. Look at a horse the hair on the hourse is simply amazing and it doesn't look greasy. All im trying to say is that hair can take care of itself, you don't need shampoo to help.
>i am in my first 12 days of no poo, 6weeks of no poo will be a rather challenging. But i have no doubt that i can succeed with a blowdryer lol.
>remember its your hair, learn to take care of it =)
