I'm also taking it a bit more extreme with things like only washing my hair every other day. It doesn't really need washing every day and therefore I use half as much shampoo, conditioner and water (well bit more on the water as I do still shower daily) and also save the energy which I was using with the hairdryer every day. It also means on those non-hairwash days I can give myself five minutes more under the duvet!Penny Blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732689584530099814noreply@blogger.com
