Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 I have very long thick hair, and I would never condition daily, as it weights my hair down. I change my shampoo and conditioner every 6 months, so as not to get used to the product. I condition 2x a week and lightly. I cut ends off every 4-6 months and have no split ends. Diane M Quote
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 I also have very thick, wavy, coarse hair (dark brown). I don't use a commercial shampoo or conditioner at all, and I only wash my hair once or twice a week. It's much happier that way! I DO, however, brush it well twice a day. For washing I rub a small handful of baking soda through my hair when it's damp in the shower, massage in, rinse. Then add about 2 tbsp organic apple cider vinegar to about 1 cup warm water (I just keep it in the shower, inside a plastic measuring cup) and pour through my hair. It takes a week or so for the hair to get used to the new treatment, so combing out will be a little harder at first, but once you get past that, your hair and scalp will love you for it! I haven't had split ends in over 25 years.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 I too have to change my shampoo often. I have fine thin but with body hair. I use a pump bottle and just add different shampoos into it when it gets low. I continually have a different shampoo formula. It works for me. I also use the shampoo to wash my body as have very sensitive skin. Blessed Be. Marcel Teddyberen wrote: I have very long thick hair, and I would never condition daily, as it weights my hair down.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks. just a note: Synthetic shampoos; esp. medicated may cause redness on the face. Even natural shampoos can. Many soap irritates.
