OK, so I've used Dr. Bronner's

and my hair is still pretty nasty, I have to admit its a lot better than when I was using the Knotty Boy bar, but its not ideal. Any ideas?

 

Why is it nasty?

 

did you dilute it? when i started using dr. bronners i didn't dilute it at all, and my hair became really flat...

 

i tried using the liquid tonight (and i've used the bar before) and once again, left my hair still feeling dirty. i think bronners just doesn't work for me. so, i've given a valient effort to the "true hippie dreaddy hair wash" and i give up, lol!

avalong organics peppermint shampoo... it's all you baby!

 

lol! i feel the same about the flatness... so I am gonna buy some avalon's and also try my own soap =)

 

its just generally greasy and a bit minging

 

try just making sida it'll most likely get rid of all the greesainess
do it weekly or so awhile then u can alternate with bronners after a bit once your scalp stops pumping out so much oils

 

sida?

 

sotty got a fever i meant baking soda not making sida..lolo
geez sorry meant sorry not sotty
everyone knows i cant type

every key on my keyboards worn blank except q x z v f j k m and p part of g and n but all the rest are completely blank
i wear out keyboards fast..lol

 

My best guess is that he is saying to try baking soda. Did I win a prize?

 

Ive just had a go with bicarbonate of soda, lemon juice, tea tree oil and salt. My hair is loads better, Im going to do the same tomorrow and hopefully that should set me back on the right track!

Cheers

 

I forgot to ask is this a good idea?

 

yeh man! it works wonders

 

what are the measures of each that you use for this wonderful concoction???

:very curious:


eace: Sundari

 

a bit soda, a bit lemon, a tiny little bit of oil and a bit of salt and water as much as you feel you need.... thats about it for the measures haha (just not too much lemon and tea tree you wont make mistakes other than that)

 

ive read that dr bronners will or will not work depending on the area you live in as most areas use hard water but some rare areas use soft water,
if u live in a soft water area then bronners will give you problems, thats why it works for most people, because most people live in hard water areas,

its somthing to do with the water not mixing properly with the soap causing it to be left behind on your scalp, so ull probly find bronners will work if u use different water

 

i've moved several times and tried bronner's everywhere i go, and it just don't work for me. maybe i just like shampoo rather than soap, i dunno. i feel like soap leaves a residue on my body too... so i always use alcohol on my face after i wash it and it pulls all kinds of crap off it, it's crazy.

 

have you any suggestions? Ive diluted the stuff right down. Whilst I am happy my hair is clean it has also left a slight residue

 

have your water tested see if u have hard or soft watrer

u can also try repreated bucket rinces i used 1 shower that had a very low pressure and nothing rinced out well unless ui filled a big 5 gallon bucket and dumped it over my head 2-3 times
the shower just didnt have enough pressure to really get ot out

 

I live in Bristol (UK) which is a hard water area. How does that make a difference?
