Wash My Hair Everyday??





    I don't know about you, but prior to my Shred days, I washed my hair every other day to keep it from getting too dry and brittle at the ends.  But now, doing the Shred everyday, there is no way I can skip this chore. 

At the end of my 20 minute shred I'm feel like a standing in a haze of my own sweat and stink.  I suddenly realize how Pepe Le Pew must have felt all these years.  I wave good-bye to my kids and make a quick Bee-line to the shower.  My boys inevitably follow me and ask why I'm all wet, like I've had an accident.  It's sweat from my exercise, I tell them.  

I literally have to peel the soggy clothes off of me....which leads me to now realize why I've had so much more laundry lately.  Hmmmm.  Anyways, I'm so sweaty that I cannot escape washing my hair everyday.  I've noticed that my ends have become extra dry and stringy.  

I've always loved the smell and feel of baby products.  I use Johnson's Lotion everyday and LOVE it!!!  So I thought I'd try the shampoo to gently wash away the sweat without stripping my hair of all those natural oils that make it feel silky.  

Baby shampoos are Sulfate-Free which is what makes it gentle to use on babies.  The downside to using it, is that it doesn't cleanse as well as your normal shampoo which contains a stronger detergent.  I still use my normal shampoo but I use it every three days now, while washing with the baby shampoo in between.  I've seen a big difference in my hair.    

****Also keep in mind, that if you use a lot of hair products (ie hair spray, gel, goop-of-some-sort), you probably need the stronger detergents to wash away that build-up.  

Let me know if you've experienced the same thing, what you've done, and/or if the Baby Shampoo helped.  Thanks!  =)
