well, i bought a bunch of overpriced stuff mentioned in the icky-sticky wax removal thread to use for deep cleansing. i was going to do it early in my locked life, but i decided i should wait a while before i do the cleanse so my hair has a chance to become tighter before they go soft for a day. i bought aloe vera gelly - small tea tree oil - tiny sea salt - medium (baggy) baking soda - medium (baggy) organic lemon juice - medium and some wicked dr bronner's (pretty big) that i've already used and im about to use again.:drool5: so is there anything i can do with these products for my hair in the meantime before i do a deep cleanse? i've read some of you use a sea salt spray and I figured i could combine my sea salt with water to make that?
Yup. Mix sea salt with water and put it in a spray bottle. Be careful not to use too much salt though, you don't want to completely dry your scalp out, that's bad.
If I use a salt spray more than once every two weeks to a months my hair gets completely brittle. I don't do it more than once every 6 months but I was just stating the maximum, but I don't want to use it that much. Nothing will replace time and patience.
is there any specific measurements or amounts i should use? how about mixing any of these with dr b's?
For the bronners I just use a generous squirt. Enough to cover the bottom of the bottle I'm using but not much more than that. If you got the teatree oil bronners then you should need to use the concentrated tee trea oil very often. I'm 9 months in and don't need that kind of stuff yet. My hair is currently very well conditioned naturally.
I guess if you had a really itchy scalp or bad dandruff. I was just going from the list of stuff from your first post you had tee trea oil. I got Dr. Bronners with tea tree oil in it so I was I saying by doing that you can avoid buying the actual oil for a while, you may never have to.
where the hell do i get baking soda in a baggie i think u say its overpricced cause u bought small amoints somewhere...atm and hammer the big box lasts me moinths and is inder a buck..the teatree oil might cost a few bucks but u use only a few drips the sea saly a pound is unsder a bucxk nd u use a tablespoomn or 2 the lemin joice is totaly optional and u proibly paid extra for it cause its organic (since your dumoing it in ypour hair organics a waste) ..i cant remember what i paid for the aloew..a couple bucks but that also lasts months ive nbever even seen baking soda sold in baggies..any grocery stire will sell a big biox for very lil
i bought all this stuff at like a health food store and im pretty sure nothing came under 5 bucks other than the baking soda and sea salt. ill just drink the lemon juice i bought if i can get grocery store stuff for cheaper. how about the tea tree and aloe? what is it good for? should i just put a few drips in with my bronners when i wash my hair? that sea salt too, tablespoons are great, but only with what im mixing it with. 2 tablespoons is going to be different with a cup and with a gallon. im not sure what type of bronners i got. ill check when im less lazy. i know it has green paper on it and the stuff itself is like amber
Essential oils are going to be expensive, because they come in very concentrated amounts. I bought organic tea tree oil (jasons brand) for 10 bucks. A little pricy yeah, but it should last a long time.
the teatree u can add 10 or so dfrops to the bronners the sea salt 2 taglespoons to a gallons good then sprits it on or dump it on let it set in awhile couple houers even then rince oiy it will help knottinesss the teatree is alkso very good medicinal stuff a drop on a cit is good also on pimples a drop on yopuir toothpaste topo and anytime u maybe potentiualy be exposed to lice a few drops in yoiur hairs great baking soda u can brush your teeth with u can add to laundrey u can stick in fridge to absorb oders next time get the cheap stiff from the grocerty store tho
