    As of now, I have no access to bonners products but will be able to order some online once I sort a thing or two with my bank. I found Neutrogena Anti Residue Formula Shampoo and was wondering if it was the same deal. The point of this product is simply to strip your hair from all the chemicals to enhance other shampoos effects. It says somewhere that it removes up to 90% of dulling residue, is this enough? will this shampoo be a good substitute until I can find booners shampoo?

    I'd say yes, if you don't wash your hair for too long with it, it won't cause problems

    someone please stop me if this is bad advice, but i've read that a great way to get your hair clean naturally is just to use baking soda.

    i did this for a while just because i didn't want to use shampoo anymore. i put a little bit in a mug (like 2 tablespoons but i just shook the box a couple times usually instead of measuring) and then filled it with hot water from the shower. you're supposed to use boiling water to dissolve the baking soda, but i found that by stirring it in the hot shower water it worked fine. then i poured it over my head and rubbed it in, and then rinsed it out. for "conditioner" i put a few squirts of lemon juice in the same mug and filled it again with water, and put that on my hair. although i hear that lightens your hair... i never experienced that but i know lemon juice is a natural bleacher because of the acids.

    so... that's the cheapest way i've found to get my hair clean and dry... i know some of the dread-cleansing recipes on here have baking soda, so i'm fairly sure this is an okay way to go- it's worked for me anyway!

    peace

    yeah, the baking soda route is always trustworthy.
    i have actually seen that same shampoo in a store, and i read the ingredients, and i could barely pronounce any one of them until i got to "fragrance".
    i would never trust anything in which you are unaware of its origin...but that's just me.

    i wouldnt use that product, but it will probably work. i really doubt theres anything natural about it, just fancy packaging lol. you can just use a natural bar soap (not dove or ivory, try pears) or baking soda.
