I have taken to using a rinse of Rosemary Essential Oil and Honey on my hair. Not because it’s particularly fantastic, but because it is easy to make up and it seems to do an OK job, a better job than anything else (tea, on the other hand does too good a job- gets my hair clean, and turns it to straw too). Washing my hair has become such a chore though. Just, finding the time and the energy you know? I don’t have time in the mornings when I typically shower so I have to take an extra shower at night to do so and it’s such a pain. Showering in student halls is far from a pleasant experience, and who really wants to do it twice? Also, even though the rinse I am using now is fairly simple it is still annoying having to make it up. Why can’t I just grab a bottle of shampoo and go? Why do I have to scrub my scalp and why oh why do I need that final cold, cold rinse? I just find myself disliking how much work no poo is. (And that cold rinse. It’s fine at home cos I can step back and just wet my head, but here in halls there is nowhere to go, and I end up having to have a cold shower too) I’m tired and lazy and it’s cold.
I guess I better suck it up and go shower…
Also: how am I going to explain the jar of honey, the bottles of dried rosemary and parsley and the bottle of lemon juice to my dad when he comes to pick me up on Friday? Me having these things makes no sense, and it’s not like I am about to tell my parents I’ve not been using shampoo for the past 9 months. I don’t want them to get all judge-y on me.
(Yes this is pretty much an entire entry with me whining that I want a good, hot, clean shower and I want it NOW. But is it such a bad thing to want to feel warm and clean after showering, not cold and…icky? This is one of many reasons I really cannot wait to get home. I may end up spending 20 minutes in the shower every day, just because I want to.)
