    Most people use Dr. Bronner's (tea tree) and the knotty boy shampoo is suppose to be good to which i Will probably be getting even though it is a bit pricey right now I'm using the one I got from Dreadhead hq(Eww) and I'm not too fond of it

    Can you buy those shampoos at local grocery stores?

    you can get Dr. Bronner's at some organic sections of supermarkets, especailly at a health food store. The rest of it needs to be ordered online.

    And DreadheadHQ Shampoo is pretty dope stuff, in my mind/hair.

    I, personally, like Dr. Bronner's the best. I've never tried anything else...simply because I never needed to.

    They smell better. DHHQ cleans your hair thoroughly, but doesn't add any beneficial things like tea tree, or fragrance like knotty boy and bronners can.

    I prefer DHHQ (because I have a lot of it. I got in a promo. When I run out, I'm going to move onto Bronner's Tea Tree oil.), and for scent I usually burn incense around me, or put a little fragrance oil (super diluted) sprayed on. I don't really care about fragrance that much except for when I'm taking my girl out.

    yeah. DHHQ also appeals because it has the same consistency as 'normal' shampoo, and so it is easier for many people to adjust to. Bronners is really thin, and doesn't lather up in the same way, and so some people might not be cleaning their hair properly.
