You're making me blush :oops: Coconut Oil is one of the best ingredients for hair. Adding it to your conditioner (or using it on its own) will definitely make a difference in how your hair looks and feels. For shampoo, you can try using equal parts of distilled water and castile soap, with a tablespoon of jojoba oil, tea tree oil or any other oil you prefer. Castile soap is better than baking soda as it is less harsh and won't cause dryness and breakage. You can also try using water only, but this method has a transition period, which means that your hair will look worse for a few weeks before its gets better. Melissa, aww thank you.

Not only did I like your post, but from reading all of your replies to the comments, it sounds like you have the patience of a saint! Anyway, just wanted to say I admire your non-defensiveness...you sound like a really great person. BTW, I have been using baking soda for shampoo and apple cider vinegar for conditioner for about 2 weeks now (mainly due to poverty) and I do notice a bit more dryness/breakage. I think I am going to try adding some coconut oil somewhere in the mix to help with that. I'd really love to find alternatives to wash/condition that I can grow in my garden. That sounds most economical. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks :-) Hi!

But I know people who tried it with good results. The wash cloth should be used after the shower, but you'd have to be gentle or you could do more damage than good as wet hair is very fragile. A comb could be used instead but the general consensus seems to be that brushes work best. Hope this helps.

Do you use the wash cloth during the shower or after. If you use it during the shower wouldn't the oils from your scalp just wash off. Also, would a comb work in place of a wash cloth or brush.

I use a bottle of beer every once in awhile as a rinse. I shampoo and condition then pour a beer slowly and work into the hair. I half rinse it out but keep some of it in the hair because it gives a great shiny seaside texture. Beer! I use a bottle of beer every once in awhile as a rinse.

I agree with everything you said. Powder can absorb oil and make hair look clean but it really needs to be washed away the next day. :) Leah, thanks for your comment.

Just make sure you toussel it enough, or you'll have some white in you're hair! Also, be sure to wash you're hair the next day, as the powder will weigh hair down if used very frequently.
