Hair experiment

kitewithfishYesterday I went without washing my hair because I was away from home in the morning. I put my hair up in braids and it seems really, really greasy all day. I spent some time brushing with a boar's hair brush to try and get the oil distributed reasonably, which helped somewhat, but it was still rather gross. I'm told this will pass.
Last night, I trimmed the last inch or so off my hair to get rid of the rampaging split ends I've built up over the last few months, and while it's probably not completely even in the back, I can now drag a comb through the last five inches of my hair without having to stop and tear out knots. I'm calling it a win.
Washed this morning with the usual baking soda and vinegar- I'm finding it really does matter how thoroughly I get the baking soda mix through my hair. I'd been missing the back of my head to a certain extent and I'm going to make a better effort for that now. Trimming the ends really seems to have helped to get my hair under control- the vinegar does seem to make my hair softer and happier, but it did not do a whole lot for helping keep the damaged ends smooth. I'll probably hit up a salon or a friend with a decent set of eyes after the end of the quarter.
