I"d Have to Get Used to Pain

As part of my mulling process for my One Change A Month project, I thought about giving up some of my 200 personal care products and attempting to par it down to a mere 10 or so. So this morning I thought, what about hair conditioner? I am sure that giving up on that would significantly reduce plastic, chemicals, and water consumption. And can you imagine if everyone gave up conditioner ... the impact would be ginormous!

So, this morning I shampooed my medium-long, wavy tresses in my Lavender Dr. Bronner's Soap, used the suds from my head to wash my body, shaved one leg (I am a one leg a day shaver, always have been.) with shaving gel that I love and am dreading ever giving up, and then turned off the water. Gherkie happened to be in the bathroom waiting for me, and when I opened the shower curtain she said, "Wow! That was a fast shower." Whoo Hoo; already seeing results!

So out I get and dry myself off, apply some lotion and deodorant, get dressed, brush my teeth, then go to brush my hair.

OUCH!

Well, if I go this route I'd definitely have to get used to some pain. My hair simply tangles so easily. And I might be bald too, since my hairbrush was filled with hairs I pulled out of my head. I don't know; this may not be one of the things I give up. We'll see. Sacrifices must be made, but what .....
