Week 4 - Corn Starch!


I have completed 4 weeks and I'm in week 5. Unlike my husband I cannot go more than a few days without baking soda/vinegar. He has not washed his hair this ENTIRE TIME! His hair looks great too! However, today I'd like to share with you my new discovery. CORN STARCH!





Corn starch is a new weapon that has been brought into my arsenal. I'm sure my mom and my grandmother would be like, "yeah, duh, I coulda told ya that!" So, corn starch soaks up the oil. All you need is a tsp or so and you rub it in to your oily areas and brush it out. VOILA! Last time I washed (BS) was on Saturday and here's a picture of me (with hubby and Lily in background).


hair looks fluffy doesn't it? 

Back to the corn starch. I am on day 3 of water only and its getting oily. I thought by now the oil production would be lessening but maybe I have done more damage to my hair than I thought! So, here are some pictures before I put in the corn starch.























Now, here are the after pictures.





















Now, YOU may not be able to tell the difference, but I can! I have no idea if this is a long lasting effect. Will the corn starch work for 20 minutes or 4 hours? I guess I'll have to let you know. I know that baby powder will do the same thing but I didn't want to smell like that. Its a cute smell.....for babies :)
I have less than 2 weeks to go on this journey and I have to say that I am SO GLAD that I discovered this because I have never loved my hair more!
