RE: shampoo re-visited

[Guest guest]

I’m not quite convinced that it is the shampoo causing the hair loss.

My hair stopped falling out when I started eating raw – long before I

stopped using shampoo.

 

Unfortunately because my hair is short and super-fine it needs the help

of hair spray and my ‘goop’ to look decent for my M-F job. Weekends I

tend to skip all of that junk though.

[Raw Food] shampo re-visited

 

Valerie wrote;

I have used nothing but water when washing my hair for the past several

weeks; prior to this, I used shampoo on a daily basis (sometimes twice a

day

if there was a lot of activity involved), and for several years, my hair

has been severely thinning, both in amount and in texture. Almost

immediately after discontinuing the shampoo, I noticed a marked decrease

in

the amount of hair left in my sink, and in my brush. There are now days

where no fallen hair appears at all in the sink, with only a few left in

the

brush. This is amazing! I can't say that I am noticing any regrowth, but

my

hair looks more full without looking dry and fluffy (the shampoo effect

:-)

). It is softer, and something of a natural wave seems to be returning.

 

I still use a small amount of hairspray, because my hair has become so

fine,

and being short, it won't stay in place. So, I'm looking for an

alternative

to that now. But I am a happy camper, for sure, and it's one less item

on my

shopping list now.

 

 

Hello everyone,

I wanted to come in on this too - I have continued simply using water on

my

hair and it is fine - great condition and easy to manage - I too am

still

using a little hair spray - cant seem to manage without that either

unfortunately.

 

We are also continuing with raw foods and enjoying it very much - the

odd

craving comes and most times it's and Indian meal we want but most of

the

time we are both raw and feeling good on it - although today I awoke

with

pain in my sciatic nerve which I havent had since I was pregnant many,

many

years ago.

 

Question ; Do pain killers suppress the healing of something like

sciatic

pain - I haven't taken anything but the pain is quite severe - I could

do

with some feedback on this?

 

Love Lynne

Hi, Donna,

 

Yes, it is hard to tell when all we have is anecdotal evidence; but the dramatic

decrease in hair loss almost immediately following the change to not using

shampoo is enough to convince me that at least, for me, I can do without. And

now, especially since I have seen that I really don't need the shampoo anyway

for my hair to be clean, I don't see any reason to use it at all.

 

Cause and effect can be difficult to determine, but need is a lot easier to

ascertain! :-)

 

Peace, Valerie
