My bet ->[Toothpaste composition x skin = result.] (x air conditioning x weather x bedsheet composition x random pigeons etc)Quote:

TJ's TTO shampoo is sulfate free as well (and CHEAP!)
I don't use home remedies now, but in the past I've used sugar + lemon juice as a body scrub, and it did the job. I also used to use olive oil on my hair and it worked nicely to add shine and moisture.

But if you overheat it and don't stir enough the eggs start to scramble and you don't want none of that. If you underheat it the two don't mix and you get something like runny butter sauce and egg yolk. You have to find just the right balance and since its an emulsion you have to be ready to pour it on the poached eggs at just the right time, preferably while they are still warm.
Here's a master at work in the kitchen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5B1BTkEeSw
Pay attention to how he keeps it stirring so they don't scramble. It's very important. He's also a bit fancy with his preparation, and like to add a little cayenne, I suppose to give it the proper waa-pow. Overall the entire meal is good, packed with lots of protein.
I haven't used shampoo for over 2 months. In the beginning my hair got greasy but not anymore. The scalp adapts to it and hair is just normal. I wanted to try getting rid of shampoo after reading about the no poo movement. I brush my hair now and then and wash it with plain water. That's all. Works well. It's funny how the beauty industry fools us to buy their products.
No 'poo is the shit!

For long hair, when transitioning to nopoo, ya might consider spraying on some good conditioner mixed with water towards the ends. It takes a while for the oils to reach the middle and ends of long hair, so this helps protect them until then. If it feels sticky, use more water, and can use water to rinse it out as needed.Quote:

it's more about it getting oily (even though i only use a gentle shampoo & acv rince).Quote:

My hair is on the longer side but my overall haircut is still short, kind of like young David Hasselhoff (I can't believe I'm comparing myself with him). Very curly hair. During the first weeks to one month my hair felt very moist and "thick", and the curls became very defined. I guess my scalp was producing excess oil still. But not anymore. I was thinking if I should start using shampoo again, but I don't really see any reason. It used to make my hair more fluffy and too light and strange.Quote:

Basically, supposedly the amount of naturalized oil production has to do with how long the hair naturally grows. Long hair gets drier at the ends than short hair, short hair may get oily at the ends, especially if it's natural length is significantly longer than its cut. Curly hair tends to keep the oils near the scalp, Straight hair tends to let the oils slide down the hair to coat it.
The oil is the hairs, natural protectant and conditioner, but it takes a lot of getting used to, especially if one tends to touch their hair a lot (me).
What I,ve read some people do is after a very warm water wash, they will spend time running their fingers along small chunks of hair from scalp to tip. The warmth makes the oil more fluid, and so this is to help spread the oil down where it's needed. Other people will use one of those boar bristle brushes to smooth the hair cuticles down, thus allowing the oils to flow to the tips more easily. (Using those brushes kinda suck if you have lots of hair, or really thick hair, or curly hair.)
Note, those methods are also used to help remove oils.
Some people with super oily scalp/hair even down to the tips will use baby powder sprinkled into dry (not wet) hair to soak up the oils, then brush them out. But this carries a risk of lightening the hair, as well as something that might look like dandruff if not brushed out well. (Especially if it's dark colored hair.)
Others try using microfiber smooth cloths to help rub some of the oil off or down the hair.
If you're referring to something other than the issues above, then would you describe it so we can help find possible solutions?
My daughter has super curly hair. And she doesn't like messing with it. The nopoo method would help her hair look great, defining the curls, reducing the frizz, protect it from the moisture in our environment. But, she's still in the rampant hormone stage which tends to carry changes in body odor. So I,m waiting until her body's hormones have settled some before I remind her of this method of hair care.Quote:

Yeah exactly. And "No poo is the shit". What a great slogan!Quote:

I like the fact that my hair doesn't smell of chemicals or parfume anymore, just the normal neutral smell of my skin. It looks good when curls are defined, but they got a little too defined in the beginning, now they are still a little more defined than before nopoo, but hair looks and feels natural.Quote:

@anndelise thanks. i read about those methods too but it's not so easy for me. my hair tends to clump into strands after a couple of days.
