ACV and Itching

So today I rinsed with ACV the first time. I found and old sports squeeze bottle and filled it with 1 cup water and 1/4 cup ACV. Drew is also trying this no poo thing with me so in a week or so I can compare the results with my straight boring hair and his jew fro hair. My hair is definitely more greasy then normal but I expected this. It's actually better than I expected for not having used shampoo in 5 days.

Drew's hair is not as greasy as mine but his is also a lot shorter and coarser. His curls seem more defined and shiny. My hair still looks dull but I also haven't dyed it in awhile so the dullness is probably an artifact from the faded hair color. I think I'm just going to dye it in a few days and deal with the non-hippiness of that. It's hard to let red hair just grow out.

The only problem I'm having (not related to the no poo) is that my full body hives just won't quit. My skin felt great after dipping into the pool but I've been back to itching constantly and it's making me feel nuts. I just went out and bought my oatmeal Aveeno body wash, which isn't all that natural but has so far been the only body wash to give me any sense of relief from the itching.

I slathered on my vaseline intensive rescue fragrance free lotion as soon as I got out of the shower so I hope this holds. I'm at my wits end with this itching crap. I take a million drugs for it and they only help so-so. I still itch regardless of what I do. And my laundry detergent is just baking soda and vinegar so I know that's not the issue. I just hope I can resolve this because I'm going nuts.
