Ayurvedic Ladies, Would you take your shampoo bar to the salon?

I'm lovin' everything Ayurvedic. Even started cleaning my face with oil and it works!!!

I'm growin' out my relaxer now and plan on going to a new salon in another month or so.

Would you feel comfortable taking your ayurvedic bar and asking your stylist to use it? Keep in mind that I'll be a new customer and it seems that most stylist are closed-minded to anything out of the norm.

I feel like if u're paying ur $ then the stylist should honor ur request. Does that mean that they'll like it? One way 2 look @ it is, she's charging u 4 a service that includes his/her products - the stylist is actually saving a little $ by using ur products instead. I hope that makes sense.

I understand, but it seems like most stylists think that your hair will only turn out perfect if they use THEIR shampoo. THEIR conditioner & all THEIR other products.

Yup- If I went to a Salon- Id bring my rinse. Im still too scared of my shikakai bar. Im afraid of a big tangled mess. Dagnambit. Imma try that soap bar today. If my hair tangles- you all will hear All about it!

You can go in already washed and detangled if you are not going for chemical services. I know Ive heard of people doing that before here

I probably wouldn't take my bar to the salon-only because if I started going back to a shop, I'd pick someone who used products I wanted on my hair.

Nappity-I tried the Shikakai bar yesterday--STRA-RIPPED After being so excited to try it, I was so disappointed. I also tried the amla and ritha hair tea-STAAANNNKYYYY. I don't know what happened.

Hell to the naw! I was actually thinking about this earlier and I concluded that for now on if I choose to get my hair done...I'm Pre-Pooing, Washing with my Shikahai Bar/Rinse, Dc'ing, THEN airdrying by banding ON MY OWN. THEN I will go to my stylist for a flat iron ONLY. Girl you should already know these stylist are close minded and arrogant and they will talk mess for hours and not listen to you. erplexed That's why I'm just gonna do the above....I'm not letting these stylists hinder the growth or health of my hair anymore! Sorry for the rant!

My hair didnt tangle but it sure feels coated- I'm gonna rewash my hair with the brew. The bar soap lather will NEVER get to my scalp and the parts of my hair I did apply it on feel coated. Maybe its just me - but Im sticking to the AAA brew.
