I usually wash my hair at night, and on the day of the challenge I washed my hair in the morning with the same shampoo and conditioner and let it dry naturally on my way to work. I could almost feel my hair thickening up as it dried (probably my imagination), but I definitely had more volume without any product in it. I guess that was a plus. It was just weird letting my hair take on its natural texture, and not trying to tame it with product before it fully dried like I normally do.
