I've been complaining about how dry and limp my hair as been lately. Last night I went to a natural hair salon for a steam treatment and trim. After the girl examined my hair and scalp, I notice that she clarified my hair and then shampooed it 2 more times. My initial thought was oh no, my hair is gonna be so dry. I was so shocked that after the clarifying wash, 2 shampoos and the steam treatment, my hair felt soooo good. I thought to myself, I think my hair missed shampoo. for most of my natural hair journey, I hopped on the no-poo bandwagon and only shampooed occasionally. As I look though this thread I realize that I am a heavy product user, but I am not cleaning my hair well enough to remove the buildup in order for it to let moisture and treatments in. I'm so glad I went to the Natural Hair salon and go this wake up call. Now that I got a trim and fresh start for my hair, I'm going to incorporate regular shampooing just like I used to back in the day before I joined the No-Poo hype, lol. I'm going to pay attention and see if I notice a positive difference in my hair by doing so. And as I mentioned in another thread, I think I need a steamer in my life asap!
