My hair did ok with the conditioning treatment. I left it on for about 40 minutes and I really expected it to be softer than it is but I can't complain. It took quite a long time to dry. This morning it still smells so nice despite my workout last night.

Still doing a lot of nothing with my hair. Braiding is still difficult thanks to these layers. I know, patience......

I was pretty sure I was going to have to shampoo today but it was actually alright! I probably won't wash again until Sunday afternoon which is pretty much the norm. I really hope nobody thinks I'm gross for only washing once a week??!!! Ok, nothing much else to report. Later.

You haven't been reading Galadriel's journal, detailing her experiment of not washing for 6 weeks, have you?! Anyway, I think a lot of LL members wash only once a week. I'm working towards that goal myself!

Trisha-

Yes, I was reading her journal but she at least uses water...I don't. I just can't stand having wet hair any more than that which is absolutely necessary! But I guess it is a good habit to get into if indeed I want to have at least waist length hair....I just work with a couple of OCD people who I'm sure would never speak to me again if they knew. And I guess I feel kinda gross because I workout frequently and still don't even wet my hair after that, I just don't feel it's really necessary, I don't smell bad or anything (at least not that I know of) Embarrassed

I finally washed tonight. I was feeling icky, sticky, and greasy. I know my hair needed the deep conditioning but I'll have to remember that I'll need to wash more frequently the week I do that.

I conditioned and shampooed, rinsed, shampooed again and conditioned. I used my usual Suave Daily Moisture Shampoo and conditioner (both of which are very diluted).

Tomorrow will be a wash day. I'll wash about 5 pm so it will be dry by bed time. Not a whole lot else going on.....

Nancy, my low carb friend, I put together a treat over the weekend that you may like. It doesn't even have a name yet, but I'll think of something. The ingredient list was:
1 tub of non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
1-8 oz pkg of cream cheese
1 cup of Sorbee sugar free chocolate syrup
1/2 cup of Splenda
1 envelope of Knox geletine

I blended everything together and after about, oh, say a half hour - 45 minutes, the mixture set up quite nicely. It will make a nice pie, for special occasions, but it's good with no pie crust, too. For the next experiment, I will cut back the chocolate syrup to 1/2 cup, and possibly increase the Splenda. I may even omit the cream cheese, since I basically used it as a thickener. But the geletine should accomplish that. Anyway, this treat isn't SUPER low carb, but I think it's pretty adaptable. Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

I washed in the shower today, on a whim....reallly didn't plan to but I figured that since it is a holiday weekend and I've really been neglecting personal hygeine lately I should go ahead since the desire struck me.

Put my hair up in a bun, while wet. Left it in until about 2 pm when I took it down because it was looking "fluffy"...then did a pony tail. My pony tail is still wet.....I guess I'll probably be wearing a pony all weekend now....

I did wash my hair on Wednesday as father in law arrived in town. I felt I should at least have "clean" hair for the visit. Not much going on otherwise.....
