Reporting back 8 weeks later from my post in January. I have NOT used shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, soap(besides handsoap for my hands), or conventional deodorant (water only showers). It was particularly miserable / difficult to deal with my body adjusting to this about 2 or 3 weeks ago. More recently(the past week) my body has "leveled out", particularly my hair (which Im afraid does tend to overproduce oils), has become more and more like I put in petroleum based conditioner, except it is natural. My dry/itchy scalp problems have not entirely cleared up, however seem to FINALLY be noticeably better after a LIFETIME of having this problem.
I started using a crystal based deodorant a few days ago, and have had surprisingly good results with that, as I was very skeptical of it working especially after I got it in the mail and used it. For instance, I used it at least 10 hours ago, and my pits smell like NOTHING(no good no bad). Its actually kind of a weird sensation, since my old aluminum based stuff actually made the area smell WORSE after this period of time, regardless if I did any sweating or not.
I would post a link to this deodorant for anyone else that might want to try it out, but I think that may be against forum rules, so Ill PM you if requested.
