Hi fellas! Looking 4 the best free residue shampoo. Compare between Loc A Fella/Dread Head Dread Shampoo. You got something better? Please post it. Thanks!
never heard of iit biut wouldnt spend nothin on anything with that name what are the ingredients list em all and i can tell ya whoy its crap (or safe, but i suspect crap) best by far earthimommas deep cleanse look in 1st post of the wax sticky baking soda water sea salt teatree oil (add lemmon juice or rosemary oil or thyme if u want, only baking soda is needed) 2nd most recomended dr bronners 18 in1 magic soap (diluted 12-1) nutragena daily clarifyonmg is recomended, never tried it myself. some ppll like lush bars but they contain sls which isnt a great thing i loved hippie hollow hemp soap, but nothing lasts like dr b and nothing cleands as good as baking soda or is as cheap and easy mostly only use the deep cleanse now..on occassion bronners
cant find locafela ingredients, but they sell alotta other crap that seems to be no good for dreads, gells butters creams and craop id avoid it maybe if u can get ingredients we can see if its not pure junk for 1 thing, its got aloe and e in it these are conditioners u dont want them unless u really need them so u dont want em in shampoo at all, butu can use in a rince only when u need em edit: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showpost.php?p=5296512&postcount=48 that post in the methods thread covers the basics of shampoos other non shampoo cleaning agents and conditioners in fact i attempted to cover just about every question regarding dreads in that thread http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=351755&f=209 if theres anything i missed ask it so we can make the thread as complete as we can
Lush bars don't contain sls anymore! They work soo well for me, washing my hair is such a treatthey last for ages and there is so many flavours to choose from<333the smell is divine too^-^
they dont? didnt they just a couple weeks agio? hmm ok i might try one then where can i get em altho bakin sodas working wonders on my scalp condition
ive tried just about everything and nothing has worked as well for me as plain old water, no cleansing agents. i also do earthymamas deep clean every few months. next best thing was baking soda followed by apple cider vinegar. then the soaps (ive tried tons of different kinds), all of which seemed to unbalance my scalps natural oil production, made it more itchy and resulted in more dandruff.
Lush has a chain of shops throughout the UK (not sure about elsewhere). You can also order their stuff from their website. Lush bars may not contain sls but I have a sneakin suspicion they leave conditioning residues behind. Having used both bicarb and a residue-free soap made from saponified oils that have both worked a treat, the lush bar I tried left my hair quite fluffy and the undreaded ends quite silky. Nothing exceptional compared to 'ordinary' shampoos, but after using something that really is residue free it was quite noticable. It's a shame really, cos I'd have to agree with Luxie - other than this they're rather geogeous, and look and smell divine. I sooo wanted Lush bars to be my ultimate dready shampoo SE, do you have any experience/knowledge of using soapnuts as a shampoo alternative?
hmm no i cant say i ever even heard of em and i got ..well i wiouldnt say a ton of experience with herbs and natural things but i know some and always interested in em and try to learn alot someone posted awhile back about ackee and sokeione else some sorta special clay used to clean hair and skin but soapnuts i never heard of but sounds really interesting. ill definateky experiment with it idf u send some..lol
hmmmm thst looks extremely interesting i sdee its used mostly for laundry but 1 sitre said its good for hair and body too id definately love to try it but if i liked it id wanna grow my own wonder how long the tree hasta grow to produce the soap fruits..and how big it gets assumming id need a greenhouse to grow it in. do u have any i could try a week or 2 b4 deciding i need to import a tree from indonesia? lol
I've used soapnuts for my laundry and they worked great,but are quite expensive over here. and they say you have to use a good few for them to work well on a load. for shampoo,don't you have to melt them down or something? I'm not sure that the Lush bars are totally residue free but after I use em on my hair I feel soo clean! I used other soaps, bicarb and once just a teeny bit of 'normal' shampoo. When I started using Lush shampoo bars I fianlly saw the light and realised that washing my dready hair doesn't have to be a pain in the ass or a chore. I love washing it now, I'd love to wash em everyday but know it's best to leave them at least a day or two^-^
I'm in foggy ole' Blighty so I'd definately need a greenhouse. Importing trees (or just their nuts for that matter) from half way round the world isn't gonna do much good for my carbon footprint either . An easier alternative might be the soapwort plant. Its a hardy perrenial that grows happily in more northern climates (no greenhouse needed), and it's going to produce a lather a fair bit quicker than waiting for a tree to grow http://www.englishplants.co.uk/soapwort.html http://www.greenchronicle.co.uk/acatalog/Soapwort.html
