It burned my daughter right away. I had to shampoo her hair twice to get her scalp to calm down. I threw that stuff in the garbage.Thank you for the response and congratulations on achieving waist length Saludable. I have ordered this root rinse and I'll be very careful to not let its caustic effects damage my scalp
No. Just don’t leave it in for more than 5 minutes. I literally put it in and jump in the shower. It’s no different than vinegar really. Unless your scalp is really sensitive you should be fine.Oh no! *runs for the hills*
2. I'm not even lo po but I find my conditioners penetrate better when I do it.
@YvetteWithJoy Maybe you could dilute your Aveda dc's with a little warm water (per use). 1. to stretch it cuz uh...
I like it. Good idea.
Hth!
Also, yay, that's high praise coming from a Scorpio.
Well, I'm going to try stretching it with CurlyProverbz oil first, but . . . idea received. 
Sexy honey bee!
Like vinegar? Hmmm. Do you think it truly has the ability to remove product build-up from the scalp?
I agree. If your scalp is sensitive, a few minutes is really all you need.
). But it doesn't adversely affect my scalp or hair when I do this. With that said, I will be switching it out for Pona when it gets cold. I'll add the Cantu back in for really sweaty/greasy days, otherwise it'll be back in rotation in the spring.Yes. It does. Which is why it can be too strong for my scalp.
sounds like hair suicide but mine survived.
I'm sold. I'll just remove build up and wash it out quick. Everybody says that build up can clog the follicles up and cause increased shedding. I'd do anything to try and decrease my crazy shedding. Unfortunately I haven't yet found a shampoo that I can use on my scalp with every wash that will not strip my hair, so I'll go for this root rinse. Fingers crossed.
Clogged follicles can actually decrease growth a bit. How much shedding do you get? Maybe it’s normal? I can’t recommend a shampoo, but you can try a tea rinse or garlic to reduce the shedding.
Oh its horrendous. My hair is thinning and I have very sparse edges. I had normalised shedding in around March, April and May (I don't know why) and then it was back to bad (incidentally coinciding with the introduction of new products: As I am cowash and Palmer's cowash but I don't think I can blame them for something that had been on for years)
Have you been checked out at the doc and got bloodword done? It could be a deficiency.
Have you had your thyroid checked?
A thousand times. It always comes back normal. But I kept checking it because I always feel cold, colder than the people around me. You reminded me. I was planning to start myself on a low dose of thyroxine to test if I have subclinical hypothyroidism but I wasn't thinking about my hair and I just forgot the idea after I bought an electric blanket and more clothes to layer up.
I know you said you took vitamin d and iron, but I would still recommend the vitamin and mineral, just ones that are food grade. You can try thyroxine or placing a drop of iodine on your arm and seeing how the body absorbs it. Just suggestions. I don’t want you coming to find me. When I had thinning hair, it was my thyroid. You could ask to have the numbers compared to the “normal” scale. I remember when I was “slightly anemic”, my doctor had me coming to see her constantly, just for me to find out I was like 0.1 below normal. To me that’s nothing; taking iron makes me how after two pills. But with my thyroid, it made a difference.
It could be a circulation issue. I’m always cold.
