fall/winter routine

Cold weather came in early this year - who knew?

Over time, I've reduced the amount of time and product that I put into my hair and I've moving more into letting it do it's own thing. I'm stretching out the time between latchings from 1 month to 2 - actually I'm due for one now. I tried baking soda rinses and found that the baking soda helped more if I mixed it with my diluted shampoo. The ACV rinses have been great for my hair. And brushing my hair a few times a weeks has really helped with the constant battle against lint.
