Also, I'm changing the blog...

After that long post about going no-poo, I've decided to change the name of the blog, and its web address. I don't know if I have any regular readers, but if I do, I wanted to let you know. I'm thinking the name will be something like a beautiful mess or a hint of beauty or something like that. I just think the name "HMCO" is kind of dumb, plus I don't care about clothes that much--mostly makeup. So, I'll see you on the other side!

PS I'm also hoping to revamp the look of the blog, yay!

On the path to going no-poo

Okay, y'all. I really hate jumping on bandwagons, but I am finally going to take the leap and the join the community of women who don't use shampoo. I've been thinking about it for awhile, but I finally made the decision to do it when I read this article. I got really stressed around the end of the past semester and lost a bunch of hair. While I don't think it has made an impact on the appearance of my hair, I can feel the difference, and I don't like it. So, I figured I should go for it. It's kind of nice that it's happening around the beginning of the year, so it's kind of like a New Year's Resolution. So if you are interested in what I've started reading, here are the links:

From the blog It's a Love/Love Thing:

How I (More Than) Doubled My Hair Growth (same link as earlier)

10 Tips for Going No-Poo

I like this blogger because she provides a lot of links and seems to really know what she is talking about. In the article "10 Tips for Going No-Poo," she provides more external resources that sound promising for good information. I can't wait to read more!

From thenopoomethod.com:

No Poo Methods

I had no idea there were more methods than baking soda and vinegar!

As you can tell, I'm still in the "getting started phase," but I was just so excited I had to share! And sometimes it's easier to stick to things when others are with you, and maybe my energy would energize others? I don't know. In one of the links, the author talks about a no-poo journal, and I think that's a good idea, since both resources talk about everyone having different hair and therefore different needs. So I want to start a hair journal as well as I talk you through things. I'll blog about the big steps, and keep a page up for the reset of the more mundane details that might only be helpful to some.

Let me know if you have gone no-poo and what your experience was, or if you're starting an interest as I am! I hope your New Year has started well! I'll talk to you soon :)
