    Has anyone had experience with Burt's Bees shampoo? I used it when my hair was straight and loved it. I was getting sick of Dr. B's, so I bought the grapefruit kind and the pomegranate kind. I dunno if it's residue free, but it sure seems that way. It's one of those where you wash with it and you hair is instantly clumping together, unlike the other shampoos that leave your hair super smooth. Plus, the smell ahhhhhhhh. So delish. Oh, the best part is that it is almost 100% natural.

    i used to use the pomegranit and grapefruit and dilute with water so it lasts forever. smells and cleans good but always left my hair slick and straight, not good for locking. ACV is more natural and alot cheaper.

    You know, not trying to single anyone out, you just reminded me how much I hate when people assume that others know what they're talking about when they abbreviate things. Do enlighten me on this ACV you speak of.

    i see. though, i think my biggest reason for the change was the fragrance. so vinegar (which i rinse with occassionally) won't help with that issue.

    I've been using burts for ages now... all products really, but two bottles of shampoo last about a year for me... I use the raspberry brazil nut to moisturize my hair as well, and its totally solved my scalp grunge problem. I rarely get the itchies and my hair smells great for days...
    98.12 percent natural
    ph balanced, sls free, paraben free and phthalate free.... Yippee... I love me some burts!!!

    If you live in the states you should check out www.vitacost.com

    They sell all kinds of burts bess for a lot cheaper.

    And where the hell can you get apple cider vinegar for a dollar?! In my stores it is about 3-4 dollars for a small bottle of it.
