well I test on my body before I test on my dreads. I also have a boyfriend who has volunteered himself as a guinea pig
Good luck with making your own soap, are you actually going to make small test batches in your kitchen? That is pretty neat. I wanted to try it myself but don't have the time or the room to do it now. I still wash with shampoo but now I can go about 5 days because I feel like I need to wash. I still can not get over that natural hair smell on my scalp so shampoo for me please.
yep, I just moved into a new place that I love and I'm ready to get creative. I have been washing/rinsing my hair every day because I have been swimming every day... btw there is STILL sand in my dreads from the beach lullz
where are you again? up at 183? I saw a vet or kennel hiring up north on craigs and thought it would be funny if I accidentally got a job at the same place as you.
where 183 and 35 meet... im getting out of the vet office biz and im going to try to focus more on training/general care rather than medical. i hate working in a vet's office-such a sterile environment
If you wash with just water, after a while your hair will start it smell bad.. well at least mine did
i washed mine with just water yesterday and my mom said my hair smelt sweaty, but i think it was just the damp smell, cause i let them air dry and they hadnt fully dried. i havent noticed any funky smells yet, but my headcheese doesnt seem to be movin =[
I wash with baking soda/ lemon juice ever 2 weeks (give or take) for over the past year, even before I started dreading my hair(or letting it dread- or what ever you choose to call this mess ). I rinse with just water almost daily though. My hair smells nice.
SL, I know you only use water so how often do you do a deep clean? Does your scalp produce excess oil after you have done a deep clean? I have been washing with water for about 6 months, and feel it may be time. But I seriously only rinse it like every other week. I would do it more often but I hate wet hair.
i wash mine twice a week at most, and ive been using just water for 7/8 weeks. reckon its time for a deep clean then? ive been gardening today, theres prolly some bugs/leaf/earth up there..
teatree and water is what i use....maybe once a month ill put some baking soda in there amd let it sit a little longer than usual....works great for me!
