Mmm chocolate

Yesterday my hair felt pretty greasy so I took the advice of a few websites and dusted cocoa powder into the roots to try to soak some of it up.  Can you tell?

I read that cocoa powder is better for dark hair because cornstarch can make dark hair look grey (like some store-bought dry shampoos do).

Here's a side view, I think the length of my hair looks pretty good for not having been washed for 2.5 days.

And here's how I've been styling it when it gets too greasy:

I used to be anti-low-ponytail because my sister told me it made me look like a man when I was growing up.  But high ponytails really take a toll on my head and scalp if they're in all day.  This has been working out pretty well.  And here's a top view of later in the day:

Pretty greasy at the back of my head, which is why I decided to wash it again this morning.  I could smell chocolate as I was washing it, haha!  I used a claw hair clip to section out my hair which made it easier to feel like I had covered all of my scalp with the BS mixture.  I left it in for about a minute while massaging it through the scalp.  I actually saw tiny suds on my fingertips so I'm hoping that means I was doing it right.  Then I sprayed on the ACV mixture and left that in for about two minutes before I rinsed it.  It's been drying for 55 minutes so far, not completely dry yet, which makes me a bit sad because some people were claiming their hair dried a lot faster on this routine.
