Transitioning with No Poo - Pushing my limits!!

I'm on the verge of pushing my limits ... but need to freshen up my hair a bit since despite being on day I dunno... 19 or so since my last cleanse, I still do not need to cleanse/wash yet. I used EOs directly on my hair, they work great even for a moisture boost lol and I've been brushing way more often since I flat ironed my hair 10 days ago so the sebum has moved like lightening!!! I'm at about one inch from my bra strap length ends to be totally transitioned!!! 


But... I think I'm mid cycle and just got a dose of oiliness and a different smell, one I can actually smell now... Hormones are messing me up, darn!


How can I freshen my hair?? I could do a WO, but I want to hold out since the sebum is moving so nicely, and with straightened hair it's so easy to brush!!! I'm working on pushing past 21 days, and if I wet it with a WO, I'll be curly again and kill my sebum-moving progress.  
I'm having thoughts of doing a clean with my argan oil Castille soap on the crown of my scalp, letting it dry in a French braid and flat ironing it again. If I can go another 20 days, I'll still get there... Grrr.... Back to school on Monday, I'm spazzing a bit lol lol


- my hair is naturally dry and curly, so it is looooooving the sebum/ hydration! It's also loving the argan oil handmade Castille soap bar I use to wash my scalp - only. So my scalp is brushed, healthy, and my hair is the happiest it's ever been. These past two weeks I've only added EOs directly from my hands to the dryer areas and nothing else, not even my beloved aloe Vera got moisture... Nothing!!
- I brush when I wake up, wear it in a constant ponytail - except Christmas day I wore it all out - and I brush really really thoroughly before bed, in all directions, in small sections, over and under, and I brush until the heavier hair with more sebum becomes lighter... I think the sebum gets distributed evenly, leaving my entire head of hair feeling lighter and no more itchy scalp!! I also sleep on a satin pillowcase with my hair in a ponytail.


- I haven't even done a WO since Dec 23rd because I realize the straight hair is helping the sebum move really fast!

I can feel the sebum and I can see the different texture if my hair. With sebum is heavier and glints in the light without looking oily (except the roots) but the ends are a different colour almost, not as rich brown, perhaps not as dark? The ends of course are the most dry, the most damaged, and will likely get trimmed but I'm soooooooo close!!!

- it's minus twenty degrees Celsius here near Toronto, and I'm on winter break from teaching until Monday so I'm not sweating, I'm not even leaving the house if I don't have to, that helps!

In the morning before brushing I have stringy hair, that's the oil, needs to be redistributed.  All that I no poo and newly grown hair by the way, you can kind of see the highlights I got last May, that's about 4 inches.

I can't believe how much it's grown!!  I had chin length face framing pieces, now look at them!!

In the middle of brushing it, I've even got flyways, just showing how much my hair loooooves soaking up the oils!

Healthy ponytail - soooo worth it!
