• Hi deasmiles - One of the reason you may not have enough sebum oil may be due to the fact that you DO swim in sea water everyday. While the salt in the water cleans your hair and removes the excess oil (which might be why you you don’t notice any si…

• Hey kauaigirl I just did the vinegar rinse again this morning and my crown area is nice and clean. I still feel a tiny bit of oil in my hair but it is just enough to make it soft and not greasy and oily! It really works nice, I might try using an ou…

• Hey guys! I tried something new yesterday that really helped with the heavy, greasey sebumy feeling that seems to still be lingering around by my crown area. If any of you are at the stage where you get the whitish grey stuff in your brush when you …

• amikalee – Yes, use a cap and put the oil on your hair before putting the cap on as al! suggested. This is a pretty common thing people do who swim in chlorinated water. Definately stop using shampoo – it is only drying your hair out further! Having…

• Hi odalys! When you get the brush let me know how you like it. I am thinking about getting one too. :) Right now my hair is on the drier and frizzier side and it normally isn’t like that (I mean, before on shampoo), It is a common part of the “trans…

• Hi Satnam – I never heard of “top shots of Common Juniper” – it almost sounds like a drink! Ha ha! If you have a link can you post it – I am interested in hearing more about it. Yes, in all baking soda is better than regular shampoo, if you had to c…

• Hello al! Congrats! Sounds like it is going well for you! Whether or not the baking soda would harm your progress.. the jury is still out. It is not really shampoo but than again not completely naturally. I am sure there is some sort of chemical cha…

• Hey Kundalalita! Yes, be cautious with the clay -it isn’t that it is bad for your hair but as you noticed – you get some extra oilyness going on afterwords. That was the first time I had ever used something like that – well, actually no – I used Mor…

• kundalalita- The ocean is great for your hair. You live in Santa Moncia right? Your so lucky! I loved that place when I was in Cali! :) The sea salt will get the oil out of your hair. Sunscreen …ah yes, it is toxic. (it is funny because someone else…

• lushpapaya- It is not really gross to not rinse your hair after you work out. I mean, it isn’t BAD for your hair is that is what you are getting at. Sweat isn’t really oily. So, unless your oily feels oily and gross I wouldn’t worry about it. germin…

• lushpapaya - Shea butter is pretty heavy but I think it is useful for moisturizing African types of hair (course, curly and dry). I think people with dreads often use it to to keep their dreads in good shape. It depends on your hair type really. If …

• Hi lushpapaya! Congrats on your three weeks! Keep it going! :) I am not familiar with rasul soap. But if it is a natural mud as you say (meaning no other ingredients) than I would think it should be safe for your scalp. Is it very drying on your ski…

• Hi 123! Thanks for that link! I didn’t read the whole thing yet – some parts I already knew about like how the hair works and all – but I loved the way it talked about MSM. MSM is really making a difference for my hair and skin. :)
