This is succeeding to sound odd but here it is: I haven't washed my hair in three weeks.

I'd like to down it clear that I haven't given up personal hygiene all in all, in a Zuccotti-Park-inhabitant kind of way. I have showered regularly over the last three weeks. But I haven't washed my hair in the unoriginal lather, rinse, repeat way.

Instead, I decided to go "no 'poo" -- an grotesque-sounding moniker that isn't at all what you might first think. It simply means giving up shampoo to either secure your hair, save the environment, or save a few bucks by breezing fairness past the hair care aisle at the drug store.

I guesswork I fall into the first camp; I'm trying to save my hair. The sands of occasion can be cruel on a woman, and I've noticed of late that my coif has become, well, a bit of a fuzz ball. There are days when my mind can look like a mushroom cloud.

So I decided to dive into this no-shampoo thing. Actually, it's hard to tell if forgoing shampoo really is a look. There have always been shampoo-eschewers. But when actor Robert Pattison and Prince Harry are delighted to admit they don't wash their hair and can't remember the last time they did, maybe skipping shampoo very has gone mainstream.
