Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hi Meighan, Good to hear from you. :-)I think Avalon was on the list of companies being sued over dioxane. I think you might like to try Dr. Bronners. Maybe some others will have other suggestions for you too. I've heard people talk about using baking soda to wash their hair, with a vinegar rinse. I have not tried this, but I know people who use it, like it. Let us know what you try and how you like it. THanks for checking in. :-)Cyndi In a message dated 6/13/2008 8:46:42 P.M.

I worry that I am using a product that is not that much better than what I had before. I have heard of people using vinegar and I think it was baking soda? Also, the castille soap too. Anyway I just really want a good sudsy shampoo and not pollute the environment. Any suggestions?Thanks,Meighan Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's Best 2008.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Unfortunately the good "sudsy" is usually sodium laurel sulfate, not good for you or the environment. Get used to less suds. If you need a dandruff shampoo check out Jason's, no SLS. My teen likes it for Dandruff I've used it a couple times for some itching. I think a few Jason's items were on that list too, but I think these natural brands are likely better than drug store. Just do your homework. Those noo poo recipes aren't for everyone, but worth a try if your game. <> >cyndikrall [cyndikrall] >6/14/2008 1:11:26 AM > >Re: [RFSL] shampoo > >Hi Meighan, > >Good to hear from you. :-) > >I think Avalon was on the list of companies being sued over dioxane.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hi Meighan, In my question for a good shampoo, I started with Dr Brommers tea tree liquid soap which I believe is a basic lye soap (I wanted it as simple as possible). It suds which I liked. The first time I tried it, it felt like there was a film left over and it took about 60 min to brush through it! I let it dry overnight. Wow, did it give my hair TONS of body (I have long, fine hair & lot of it). Much later, I read that you're supposed to follow it up with another type of rinse (I can't remember what that was? vinegar) that will make it easier to comb through. Anyways, so I tried following it will coconut oil. Well, a little goes a LONG way & didn't help much with the combing out part. I never did find out the exact way to use it because I found the 365 brand shampoo that worked great. Unfortunately, it was on the dioxane list that came out this week (ugh!). A co-worker has told me she uses raw honey to wash her hair and body. Haven't tried it though! My co-worker has long, thick curly hair - she also uses straight butter for conditioner and body lotion. Not sure if I'm going to try that - I like the coconut oil better. I'm hoping someone can recommend a reasonably priced, safe shampoo too!!
