In moving home, I have to quit smoking too… and bubbles sounds like an excellent idea!

Comment on The Kind of Girl Who … has hair so greasy you can fry bacon in it (TMI Thursday) by Gail

I tried “no poo” with baking soda back last fall, and while it worked ok, some days it would be horrible. I rack that up to living in Colorado where we have really hard water. Now, I can go about 4 days without shampooing. When I do, I use Aubrey Organics shampoo which doesn’t have any of the nasty chemicals. On my in-between days I use a rinse with about 3 parts distilled water/1 part Apple Cider vinegar. I infuse that with some chamomile. I pour a little on my head each morning and work it in my scalp like I’m shampooing, then I stand under the shower and let the water wash over my head while I take the rest of my shower. I don’t get the greasy feeling anymore. Lately I’ve been experimenting to see if I can go 8 days without shampooing. On the last 4 days I made another rinse with the same amount of water/apple cider vinegar, but added in another part of with hazel. I read where witch hazel will break down oils. So far it’s day 6 and my hair still feels soft and the scalp isn’t greasy at all. It’s a little harder to style, though. I have medium thickness hair that has a wave in it, but not curls.

I heart the neti pot with all my, uh, heart. I use it all the time during allergy season and it seems to really help. But yes, it’s totally gross…I don’t even want to talk about the first time I did it. Nasty.

heh. i am prone to sinus infections of epic proportions twice a year, like clockwork (spring and fall) and have actually cut waaaay down on them by giving the ol’ sinuses a rinse when i feel things start to go south. i too have been at that exciting stage of congestion where you can’t even get the salt water to trickle its way out the other nostril, which always horrifies me somewhat (and netipotting doesn’t seem to do any good if i’m that far gone, anyway).

Why I insist on reading TMI Thursdays while eating breakfast (oatmeal the consistency of snot, of course), I have no idea. This is the first TMI Thursday that actually grossed me out. I’ve heard that chronic neti pot useage is bad and you can get sinus infections if you don’t wash it out properly.

oooooh yeah i have seriously chronic allergies and congestion (as in, spent ten years or more not breathing through my nose and without a sense of smell). i finally went to a doctor and got a nasal inhaler but i’ve always sort of wanted to try the neti pot but am too scared, i guess, or weirded out. i think i shall give it a shot. thanks for the post!
