For those of you who use natural shampoos

I thought some of you might find this article interesting from Long Hair Lovers site.

Very interesting diva...thanks for sharing. I just started using a natural shampoo about a month or so ago that is soap based...and I always follow up with an acv rinse.

That may explain why a lot of people complain of stripped, dry hair after using Aubrey shampoos.

My natural shampoo has shea butter and I haven't had any problems. Of course, I alternate unintentionally because the beautician uses her own shampoo when I go there.

Ditto. I've been using natural shampoos for a while now and I guess the ACV is why I hadn't noticed any bad effects. Very interesting article!

Thanks for sharing.

I use Dr. Bronners Tea trea oil with added jojoba
and I never experienced any problems.

I didn't read the article, but natural shampoos make my hair a matted mess

You know that is so true? I just thought maybe since it was supposed to be natural, I just got a bad batch. My hair felt sooo tangly, I just rewashed with my CON and called it a day.

I made my own shampoo for about a year and never ever had any problems with dryness. The thing is that with any shampoo natural or otherwise, there has to be humectant ingredients added to the soap base. In my case I added, honey, olive oil, plus other essential oils to the castile base. Marie Longhairs is a very good product. What she fails to tell you is that you can in fact make your own products just as good as her own. After all she is in business to make money. And if the consumer does not investigate she makes a ton of money off of them.

I agree....humectants added in proper proportions to natural shampoos offset the alkalinity of the soap base..I never had a problem with any of Aubrey's shampoos...

Edie, do you have a recipe for your shampoo that you can share? I'm trying to stay away from shampoos that contain sulfates. I've tried two sulfate-free shampoos (Kiss My Face and Paves) and they both leave my hair with a sort of stripped feeling.

Jason Natural Sea Kelp Shampoo has a PH of 4.5. I just started using it and I really like. It has excellent ingredients as well.

 

[DelightfulFlame]

Thanks for the info...my hair has been a little dull lately. I haven't been doing my acv rinses, so that explains it!

How do you know it has a ph of 4.5? I purchased a bottle and I can't find it anywhere. I am very excited about this shampoo and looks like I will be adding some humectants to it soon.
