Hey guys,
It's been a while. Lot's of positive changes as of late...but forget that XXXX, it's about the hair.
I'll start by saying that udates have not gone as planned. However, I've crossed the 10 month threshold.
No haircut 2013 is going foward.
I'll look for a photo from the beginning, and one I just took a few minutes ago.
For a little over 2 months now, I have not been using shampoo or conditioner. Instead, about every 3 days, I use baking soda followed by Apple Cider Vinegar.
When I heard of this I was quite skeptical, however, I'm pleased with the results. My hair looks better and more alive (even though hair is actually dead) A lot of people who use this method actually got much longer between washes, but on account of my working out, and job which requires me to sweat in a hard-hat, 3 days is about all I can go before it starts to get greasy.

Edit: I may have to come back if the photos don't work. I'm not computer savy.
wow, great improvement, keep it up :), also that's an interesting regime you have. How does the baking soda and cider make your hair smell?
I was going to say you look like you've improved your bulk between those 2 photos... I think that just inspired me to get back into the gym :)
Thanks man, you would think the ACV would make your hair smell, but it doesn't. When I first started doing this I always asked friends to smell my hair to make sure their were no issues. Everyone said it had no odor, good or bad.
Nice proggress for 10 months, Rob! Just imagine what another 10 months will do to your hair! :)
Thanks man. Are you growing yours out as well?
Looking good Rob.
Like I said before, I like the texture of your hair - the perfect hair texture to grow hair out.
Keep growing!
Thanks man, your hair looks cool as hell. I like the tat too!
You look like a rock star!
Hi Rob,
You are making excellent progress I think! As big as that photo is, it doesn't show your wonderful hair very well. I do believe when your hair is longer it will look great! I like the color and straightness of it!
I do understand the greasiness problem. I don't wear a hard hat and my hair gets greasy after a day or so! Your routine seems like it's working well for you. Just have a lot of patience and you will be rewarded my friend! Please keep us updated on your progress!

Thanks, will do.
Hi Rob,
The photos came out fine, other than the 2nd pic is totally HUGE!!!
In any case, your hair is making excellent progress there, so I hope you keep it growing! "Hair-farming" is both fun and entertaining -- and heck, it saves money, too (LOL)!!

LOL, it was never my intention for that pic to be enormous.
Great progress for 10 months Rob! I'll toss in my encouragement to keep on going, your so close to a year now!
Thanks. How long were you growing your hair out in your pic?
Hey Rob,
Looks good. I've been playing around too with shampooing frequency (I'm down to about twice a week) and may try the baking soda-ACV. Glad to hear its working out for you.

Thanks man. Give it a shot, but their is a transition period where your hair my get greasy while your scalp transitions.
