    Default Build up question

    Okay- So I decided to try this month cone-free.....

    I clarified 2 days ago and started using Whole Foods 365 Citrus shamp/ condish.... today I henna'd and used my old condish to wash/ rinse (nexxus humectress) that has cones....
    should I clarify again (Sept is my cone-free month) or cause it was only one day am I okay??
    I really want to know how my hair is cone-free........
    Am FINALLY at waist (note to self, update siggy pic)... To maintain or to not maintain (keep growing).... that is now the question

    If I were you, I'd probably just clarify so that I knew that my hair was without any cones.
    But I don't think it should make too much of a difference. I mean, cone buildup is from continued use of cones. Just one wash shouldn't lead to buildup. I think.
    I've just been trying my hair cone free for the past few weeks, so I'm still a cone-free newb.

    Is this the new whole foods 365 or the old one? One has SLS in it(which will get the cones out) and one doesn't.
    Fast typer.
    I have fine hair that I'm working on growing long!

    Nope- new one... I bought it so I could be cone and sls free (why go half when you can go all the way )..... I figured if I was going to try , go whole hog......

    I think you answered your own question! If you really want to know for sure your hair is totally cone-free, you gotta clarify.

    Otherwise, I'd say don't bother unless you see buildup/limpness/other icky cone issues, one wash is probably not a big deal. But for the sake of being strict with your first conefree month, ease your mind and clarify.
