I make my own shampoo from organic meterials so no harmful chemicals for me. Wink

how do you make your own shampoo? i dont understand that... please explain Wink

i would like to try it

I think he is talking about manjuice Cheesy

I am not one for not trying new stuff... Wink

Think it would make it messy though and you need to collect quite a bit in order to have enough.

Please tell me the benefits of using it at all - been thinking about this a lot lately and if it wasn't because our parents used it on us when we were young perhaps we wouldn't need it at all? I've asked a lot of people I know and nobody seems to know why we use shampoo.

It's because you have used it so much that your body think it needs it. You've developed a tolerance for shampoo, just as one do when using chapsticks.

Have you stopped to wash your hair at all ( even only with water ) or just to use shampoo?

Just with shampoo ofc? The hair gets dirty whatever you do, gotta wash it. And I haven't stopped using shampoo but only use it 50% of the times I shower now, (I shower 2-3 times a week now with my broken foot, got plaster from the toes to the knee so showering is a hell), my hair is a bit fatter but time will make the body adapt to that.

Just replace shampoo with a healthier choice. I use Terressentials Mud wash, and it works amazing it's the same "mud" it's really clay, that is used in mud baths. I can feel my hair is nicely moisturized and my scalp and hair is refresh and clean. The mud wash is made of bentonite clay, a clay that was used to wash hair for thousands of years it act as a magnate for all the dirt, build up and nasty stuff in the hair. It's cheaper to just buy the bentonite clay. Apple cider vinegar and baking soda is also a good choice to replace shampoo...or just go all organic shampoo.

How about sand? Sand and mud should do the same job yes? Or is it something special with the mud molecule-wise?

If not shampoo, then what should I wash my hair with? Would soap alone do fine?

Nothing. Water ought to be enough, when it's exceptionally dirty use salt water and it should be very clean afterwards. When I was on vacation in Africa I tended to skip the soap because the salt in the water cleans the hands very well.

I used to use it everyday, then I did a test. I took 5 waterproof bags, put one inside the other so I had 5 layers of waterproof plastic. Then I put it in a shampoo bottle, let it rest in there for 3 hours and guess what? The shampoo had gone through all 5 plastic layers, I realized then how harmful it's got to be for your hair and your scalp when you rub it in..

I find a lack of logic here. How does shampoo breaking through plastic prove it's harmful for your hair? They're different materials, and the time of contact was also different: 3 hours in the plastic bags vs 1 minute (hopefully) in your head.

You need to work on your scientific method before making such claims.

May hair get static Sad

FUCK IT I cant even concentrate on any thing for a long time...............

It's strange you have static when using Pantene as it contains an anti-static surfactant - Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Try using Morrocan oil - just the tiniest drop worked into damp hair should help. Your inability to concentrate could also be a result of the 24/7 partying.... perhaps that's what you're paying for?

Now I've got a broken foot so I have plaster from the toes to me knee on one of my legs which makes showering a real drag since the plaster can't become wet. So I shower every 3rd day, after the third shower I stopped with the shampoo half of the times. In the beginning your hair is very easy to style (yeah it gets REALLY fat) but the body is fast to adapt so after a while it's not bad at all. I can now go 7 days without shampoo without the hair getting fat.

Just thought I'd share this, it will save you money and make your hair take less damage from all the chemicals inside the shampoo.

hmm...im too lazy for that,i buy it Wink

I had shoulder length hair for about 12 years and I used to shampoo once a week. A bit of grease was never that unwelcome, those were my grunge years after all and Cobain's hair always looked so cool Cheesy

Seriously though, I did try shampooing more often in the beginning but my hair would get so freaking dry with massive split ends Roll Eyes

I've read in a few different areas that shampoos actually strip away your natural oils , The same articles also usually state that if you were to stop using shampoo for about a week or so, your hair would begin to self-regulate and would no longer be oily.

Googled around a bit and found 2 links saying that shampoo isn't necessary;

I've used shampoo every day. My head has not melted. Ok continue on...

I haven't stated that your head would mealt but if it goes through 5 waterproof plastic bags how healthy can it really be for your hair/scalp?

Well I was obviously exaggerating when I said my head has not melted yet.

But to be more serious, this "test" that you conducted is an extremely poor indicator whether shampoo is good for your hair or not. Do you realize your head is not made of plastic? Hair is made of keratin, while plastic is a polymer. Completely different substances, therefore reacts differently to certain chemical compositions.

If shampoo is as toxic as you make it out to be, then it wouldn't even hit the shelves of stores because of FDA regulations.

It was more of an eye-opener for me. I know it wont melt my head, and I am not going to start doing this soley on the fact that it's melted through plastic - it's more because I believe that your hair doesn't need it and will be healthier without it (I am starting to go bold, it runs in my family and my hair falls off everytime I rough it around).

Regarding the FDA regulations that thing is a big joke. As long as they put down what's in the item you consume it's fine (aspartame is a good example of this, for decades people have known it's dangerous and can cause cancer among other things, yet it's still in pretty much every sugar free product).

You do realise that shampoo is designed to dissolve oil-based compounds (of which plastic is one example), right? That's how it cleans your hair. At the risk of stating the obvious, neither your hair nor your scalp is made of plastic. Shampoo is not very acidic, either. Why would it be? Strong acids are generally not very good at dissolving oil. They do damage your skin, of course, which is why I am puzzled by the people who eschew shampoo in favour of vinegar, which is about 1,000 times more acidic. Must be the old "if it's natural it must be harmless" logic.

I had actually no idea that it was designed for that. Thanks for the first informative post in this thread

I am still going to stop trying to use it, (or maybe use it once every month) but the way my hair is addicted to it now is just insane.

LOL. This is really funny. Try it and see how greasy, dirty, and dandruff ridden your head gets. You might even get some vermin living on top. Yuck.

Natural soap like castile makes good shampoo. Lots of recipes on the net.

And baby shampoo is mild.

This. I tried going no poo and it was bad.
Actually my best results are with ketoconazole shampoo, which is not considered mild.

Can you tell me in which way it was bad? Did you just stop using it or did you use less and less of it to eventually quit?

Not saying it's the same thing but looking at the Ingredients the word acid came up twice on one of the bottles, there are like 10 different chemicals in the shampoo's I've got.
