And this is where I admit defeat

I managed several months of not using shampoo and conditioner and then went back to using just conditioner as, despite using proper rinses, my hair was becoming increasingly difficult to brush. I've gone back to shampoo and conditioner as it was becoming harder and harder to get my hair clean when my hands and wrists are in pain and they frequently are nowadays. The itching I was getting seems to be my skin being allergic to the oils my scalp produces and not an allergy to the Faith In Nature hair products.

Oh well, it was an interesting experiment. I can wash my hair clean without using product, it's just really painful and takes far too long.
