Baking soda and apple cider vinegar do wonders on a greasy head. My hair is fluffier and softer than it ever was with shampoo and conditioner (not unlike the first time I washed with baking soda and vinegar). I got into the shower a half an hour ago and it's almost completely dry already. Considering the state of my hair yesterday, this is miraculous.
I think that starting water only from an already greasy head of hair was not ideal. I'm not sure how quickly my hair will grease up this time, but hopefully I can go for another week-or-so without it getting nasty. I'd like to think that leaving it grungy for a while helped my scalp realize what was up and maybe even made my hair a little healthier. But I have no idea.
Also, I stopped using my apple cider vinegar toner because the lines between my nose and the corners of my mouth seem more pronounced than before. It might be completely unrelated, but I'm going to see whether this makes a difference.
