Long hair problems.

Does anyone else dread getting a shower just because they hate messing with their hair? I know I hate getting showers just because I hate having to wash, condition, towel dry, brush it all out, then have to spend another 20 minutes just blow drying it, then FINALLY get to style it. My hair takes like 2 hours out of everyday for me..

I do save quite a bit of time though on the days I don't wash my hair and I put it in a messy bun or just condition it & restyle.

I want to get my hair into the habit of going at least 2 days without getting washed but it's still just getting used to going a whole day without it.

I've also read about a thing called "no-poo" style, which basically requires baking soda and vinegar to wash your hair.. which is supposedly supposed to be AWESOME for your hair, since you're not really supposed to be using all those chemicals in your hair and washing it everyday anyways.

I never realized until just recently that your hair needs these oils that come from your scalp and it can't get them if you're washing your hair everyday.

While I was learning all this about basic haircare, my boyfriend had told me that when he showers everyday, he washes his hair like four times. FOUR?! That is just ridiculous.. He says he's only down to just one washing a day now though, since I have enlightened him on some hair tips ;)

I am also trying to at least once a week, use absolutely no products on my hair other than shampoo and conditioner. That means no sprays/serums and no hot tools. It's good to just let your hair relax sometimes :) I often forget how much I like my hair natural anyways. Especially in the summertime when it gets all curly instead of some just blah wave I get in the winter.
