I may get flamed for this, but I had thought. I know many of you may be against soaps that are not completely natural. But I am wondering how Ivory liquid would do? I'm thinking since Dr. B may be leaving residue in some people's hair.. this stuff should SERIOUSLY cut all grease. I somehow don't think it would leave residue if rinsed properly because you don't taste soap on your dishes after washing them. My only concern is that it might be difficult to rinse it because it is so soapy, but the grease cutting qualities would be second to none. Has anyone tried this?
that's it, get out. just kidding lol i know my friend who is a hairdresser recomends dish soap for her non-dreaded friend who has greasy hair. you could check the health food store and see if they have more natural dish soap and try that first before you go to the harsher stuff (?)
what else do you use it for i was thinking trying a few bars out for ice skates this winter that would be awsome i'd have little bubbles following me while i am doing some sweet turns and glides
^^^^^haha i found that one on google and it inspired me to try fractal out and im still lookin for a good program for it
i used dish soap on my hair a couple times in ninth grade, because i got lice and had to put piles of vaseline on it. it worked for what it was supposed to, but i used it too much repeatedly and my hair got exhausted... that's the only term i can think of for it have you tried using baking soda water? i'm going with that now because bronners tends to grease my hair up at first. also, email me your address! i'll send you your hats and you can decide whether you want them or not. then you can pay me... since i can't seem to remember to take pictures. gah!
I do the backing soda bit my self, leaves a nice neutral feeling every where it touches if you like fractals, check out the book "The computational beauty of nature" http://books.google.com/books?id=0aUhuv7fjxMC&dq=computational+beauty+of+nature&pg=PP1&ots=QcaYLEY5x5&sig=eD2dfDOyayAoRcf-FARNBXOn_KY&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result a way cool read if you want to get into that stuff
Ok, do you realize you are talking about two separate chemical reactions: soa and detergent? Now, most commercial shampoos are detergents (SLS based, usually, although you can find milder). dish soap is a stronger degreaser, more like using sal suds (if you want to to stay with Dr B) think about this: I use baby shampoo to take oil stains off driveways. Seriously. When you dread, you keep shed hairs, and all the damage you have inflicted on them. If the dreads are an extension of your heart/soul/ antenna to the Universe why muck it up with detergents?
I agree, I just used dish soap in the shower (I had to use alot for some reason, I couldn't get a good lather going. Damn you cheap dish soaps.) And my hair feels all light, fluffy and it moves around easily again! My scalp doesn't feel dry, though not oily either. My hair's great too. Try it next time, it's really nice. NOTE: Be sure it doesn't burn your skin, take a drop or two and put it on a small place around your hairline (I did infront of my ear) and scrub, then rinse, and let it be for an hour, if you feel burning or whatnot, don't do it. DON'T GET IT IN YOUR EYE, omfg... that hurt soooooooooo bad!
I recommend Benoît Mandelbrot's The Fractal Geometry of Nature. Mandelbrot is the godfather of fractals and his book is quite accessible.
That fairy liquid is strong shit. I remember when I was trying to remove the henna dye from my hair a lot of people recommended using that stuff. I guess it strips any color deposits from your hair (aside from your natural of course). I've recently used some liquid dish soap but it's all natural anyway. I forget why I used it....
