Paul Mitchael's Green Tea Shampoo is what I have been using this past month. Its super expensive shampoo,but my fiance's Aunt is a hairdresser and gives us huge bottles for really cheap.

its all natural

Its pretty much got everything in it

tea tree
lavender
peppermint

and other natural ingredients, and it doesn't leave residue and smell amazing, also tingles the scalp. I wash my dreads once a week with it. I love it!

 

i use that shampoo on my clients with dandruff and dry or itchy scalps but i wouldnt use em on dreads...these are the ingredints to that shampoo... Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Isododecane, Isohexadecane, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Stearyl Alcohol, Mentha Piperita Oil (Peppermint), Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Stearalkonium Chloride, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil (Tea Tree), Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol, Salicylic Acid, Dimethicone Bisamino Hydroxypropyl Copolyol/Hedychium Coronarium (White Ginger)/Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethicone Bisamino Hydroxypropyl Copolyol/Algae/Aloe Barbadensis Leaf/Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile)/Henna/Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba)/Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary)/Dimethicone Copolyol, Lavendula Angustifolia Oil (Lavender), Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, DMDM Hydantoin, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Blue No. 1 (Cl 42090), Yellow No. 5 (Cl 19140)

 

Yeah I read into it more, and it ended up leaving Residue so I switched back to My anti-residue shampoo. I'll still use it once a month because it makes my Hair/dreads look healthier . I mean I know dread heads that have used just normal shampoo the whole time and nothing happened so IDK.

 

Seeing as were on the topic of shampoos. I'm going to stop using Bronners and revert back to cheap supermarket shampoo.

 

Any reason why? I just started using it and it makes my head super itchy, but does wonders for my face.... before that i just used water and it was great, my head was never greasy and didn't smell but i think i'm going to try this baking soda jazz...

also i would like to thank this entire community, everyone is soo helpful and informative.

 

So today for my xmas gift to my head i decided to try out one of these deep cleanses. I did the one described by Merrivale but with a little lemon juice added(honestly no idea what this does.... if its for scent it didn't work) and it worked some crazy magic on my head. for the last few weeks iv had a feeling I was developing mildew in my hair, it would smell like gross old wet towel but only when it was wet, and after this my hair no longer smells weird wet... it just smells normal wet. I'm soo happy about that too. i must add after soaking them and squeezing i noticed how nasty the water looked i rinsed and repeated and there was no more gross water..... so in conclusion SUCCESS!!!!! Thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge on this board.... i think iv been converted to washing with baking soda.... goodbye dr.B

 

I Discovered It About Four Months Ago, Great Stuff, And Cheap As Chips

Too, $3-00 For One Kilo..

But The Part I Really Like Is The Look On Peoples Faces After I Explain I

Can't Use Shampoo Or Conditioner, But I Use Bi-Carb Of Soda *baking

soda*, The Looks Of Puzzlement On Their Faces Is Priceless...



Cheers Glen.

 

Thats how i was when i first read about it.... like i knew some people like wash their hands and kitchen stuff with it but i never figured you could use it to was hair



lol Cheap As Chips..... best thing ever

 

using baking soda sounds cool ( i use it for alot of other things) but does it in any way show in dark hair? ( i have jet black hair)

 

it wont show if you wash it all out, if you see it in there, go wash it all out

 

How are you guys applying these mixtures to your head? Are you letting your dreads/scalp soak in a bucket of the stuff, or are you slowly pouring it over your heads? I see a lot of people talking about letting their dreads soak...

 

Anyone?

 

Trial and Error.

To Tacofarian

No reason I just want something that makes my head squeaky clean. Baking soda and/or water alone does not get my head clean.

 

Sticky?

 

Domikatetrix's recipe is AMAZING!!! I had the horrible smell of sour milk (don't ask) lodged in my hair, not only did it get rid (which nowt else seemed to be able to do) but it locked my dreads up way more than they were.

SHE IS MY NEW GOD!!

 

How long are you supposed to dip your head in the mixture?

 

I think a nice recipe thread like this is worthy of a sticky.

Jus' sayin'

 

ORLY?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: what is needed is a better title for the sticky that we already have and some modly upkeep in that thread, not more stickies

 

^That. It's within the sticky.

I also think the title is dumb, (not sure changing it would make much difference though). All people need to do when visiting a site for the first time is spend a few minutes getting to know how the site works, and what's available. :toetap05:

 

Sooooo I was right?
