Your favourite Dr.Bronners scent!

i've only sniffed the tea tree one, complete waste o' money imo. made my hair all sticky

 

with the mane and tail im only paying 20 cents an oz

(buying the 32oz at $6.30 thats with tax)

with doctor bronners you would be paying 47 cents an oz

(buying the 32 oz at $15 thats without considering the fact that you must buy $20 worth of stuff to even check out if you buy it online and i've never heard of dr bronners around here)

You have less than $20 worth of items in your basket.

and honestly i know i dont have that kind of money to just blow on shampoo i can't smell before i buy

 

Ha I like that they say you need to buy more! How much is the shipping? You can't be saving a lot. When I was younger I bought stupidly expensive shampoos etc and now I really wish I had spent the money on something more productive as since I have tried to cheaper versions, there is no difference.

I would never buy online anyway, I like to smell them too first.

 

the shipping is free because you have to buy $20 worth of stuff but thats only in the continental US

and even with gas i spend way less just going to walmart and getting a bottle of mane and tail

 

try the bars bro, the liquid variety leaves residue in my hair but the bars leave me fresh clean and perfect

 

All the mane and tail shampoos i've seen say they are deep and moisturizing, unless you have a different variety it doesn't seem like its good for dreads.

 

yeah deep and moisturizing if you use the conditioner with the shampoo

but again my hair has always knotted up if i didn't use conditioner with whatever shampoo i was using

I've used knock off bronners. And I only ever buy it not for shampoo but to use to clean around the house. I like to use it for my floors since my little one likes to slide on the wet floors as I clean.

It leaves my hair feeling sticky, too.

 

I used slide on floors all the time! Socks + slick floor = all that is good. I still do it every now n then, but the falls are unforgiving now

 

I used to slide down my old staircase in a really slick sleeping bag. The bruises were totally worth it.

 

we used sleeping bags too! butt bruises ftw

 

LOL I just use whatever shampoo is in the shower....

 

i use whatever bar soap is around...

 

i've never tried dr. bronners... will give it a go one day as it's not too expensive at the organic shop near me (AU$7.85 a bar) - i've just had a huge stash of soaps at home to get through before i buy anything new

at the moment i wash my hair using;
3/4 cup bicarbonate of soda
2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh)
2 tablespoons salt
7-8 drops tea tree or eucalyptus oil
a basin full of the hottest water i can stand

i put the bicarb and salt into the basin, fill it up with hot water and stir it all up til it's all dissolved.. then add the lemon juice and tea tree or eucalyptus (you could even do a mix if you want)... then lean my head over the basin and soak my dreads in it, using a cup to get the mixture all over the back of my head. then wrap my hair up in a towel and leave it for 30 mins or so... until the tingly feeling stops really, then rinse it out in the shower

gets rid of dandruff, henna residue, any dirt, excess oil and prevents mould as well

 

peppermint, almond, and unscented are good. Their citrus one is a little obnoxiously strong, though it does smell fine.

It seems to be good for new dreads, but if it's all you use it will cause some buildup after a while. After 2.5 months of water/bronners, I've just had to get vinegar and baking soda. So now I alternate bronners, plain water, and baking soda/vinegar (not at the same time of course, but one after the other) Seems to work fine.

*edit* I'm talking for showers, with almost daily washing. I live in the middle of a desert, so my dreads are dry all the way thru just air drying after a few hours, and I love my showers... and trying to keep my hair dry just makes a shower less plesent, so if I take a shower I almost always get my hair with at least water.

 

The regular shampoo says that it's moisturizing. So it's definitely not a good choice for dreads. If you already have dreadlocks, then I guess you can get away with it, but for someone like me or anyone trying to grow natural locks, it doesn't look like an option.

 

^^ this statement is true for my hair even when its normal

I'm not saying its going to work for everyone

 

Me too, but I also do a Deep cleanse with baking soda, salt, and lemon juice. I do so every month, but started doing it every other week now. It keeps my scalp feeling fresh. I also condition once in a while, especially after I dye my hair, it keeps my dreads looks nice I would clean with just baking soda but I don't like the way my dreads smell, so that's why I still shampoo.
