Day 35

My hair is really, really waxy today. Not greasy at all, just waxy. The waxiness is mostly concentrated in the hair on the back of my head. I haven't CO-washed in 10 days. I did a WO rinse yesterday, and I've been doing them about every two to three days. I almost broke down this morning and used baking soda, because the waxiness is really bothering me, but I just pulled it back in a ponytail and decided to stick with my water only program. Hopefully this waxy period will pass. I notice it tangles a bit more when it's this waxy. It's still not as tangly as when I used shampoo, but it's tangly enough to be annoying. I didn't wet my hair today when I took a shower, but I probably will do another WO rinse tomorrow, just to try to keep it under control. In reality, my hair really doesn't look waxy at all - maybe just like I have a touch of product in it. It's just the way it feels that's bothering me most. I really hope this is a good sign that my hair and scalp are reaching the later stages of the "detox" period.
