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! =)
