ruh-roh, out of shampoo

well i just ran out of shampoo recently and my hair i starting to get smelly, im kind of limited here, ive seen people talking of salt water and lemon juice and others, but all i have is salt and lemon juice, could i use just this to get the smelly out, if so can i have the proportions and all of that....i dont even think i have a spray bottle, help pleeease

 

i used to mix salt, lemon juice and water in a spray bottle and would soak my hair with it, then wash it out, it would tighten my locks up nice and should smell nice too, but make sure you get it all out or your hair will be salty and weird =)

 

yeah ive heard that one before, salty hair makes an unhappy adam

 

just rinse them if anything... that should help a bit...

 

why don't you go buy some more shampoo?

 

i dont have-

money
a job
a ride
a clue where to get some in my area

and so on

and rinsing isnt great cause where im staying at now has smellywater and i dont know if that will sta in the hair

 

mmm smelly water doesnt sound like a good idea.... hope you find some way to get some shampoo soon

 

steal some

 

i could...but im not a stealy kinda guy, oh phooey im all out of ideas....i guess i could always get another job

 

Is the baking soda thing similar to shampoo?

I had a hard time getting it out of my scalp though.

On the days I don't shampoo, I just rinse it out while I'm showering and scrub really well. I've used Ivory before I found out it had tallow in it. blech. It does get you clean though...I don't think it leaves residue. And it's super cheap.

 

baking soda...hmm, does it leave any kind of smell at all?

 

you could see if any neighbors have a rosemary plant, or lavender, or even mint. if they do and they'll let you, grab a couple of handfuls and put in a basin. boil some water and pour it on the herbs leave it to cool then rinse your dreads and scalp

 

ooo i like that one, ill go check around a little later, thaanks

 

dude, just wash them with soap, thats what i do. rub the bar in your hands, then rub your hands in your hair then rub the dreads all around and rinse. that is, if you have nice natural soap.

 

i dont as of now, ima look around for some health product stores when i get money
