Trader Joe's Pure Castile Soap (yay or nay)

[preciouslove0x]

Yes another shampoo question... I searched the archives and couldn't find the answer


So anyway I use pure castile soap to shampoo my hair once a week. However, I leave my hair in flat twists 3 days out of the week and moisturize twice a day. I'm just wondering... is it okay too use an all natural shampoo more than once a week?? I love the way my twist outs look right after I shampoo and I try to wear them the whole week but I can't because product buildup keeps my hair from maintaining the curls...

Here are the ingredients:
water, potassium cocoate (derived from coconut), potassium tallate (derived from pine), glycerin, olive oil, peppermint oil, aloe vera


TIA

If your hair and scalp feels fine, then stick with it.

I could never use castile soap that often, even diluted. It's too strong for my scalp and hair.

What happens when you use it too much?

Well it dries out my hair and scalp really bad. Even though I would dilute it with like 1oz castille and 8oz of water and oil.

But that's just my hair.

I hate the trader joes castile soap...tore my skin my up!!! Get dr. bronners instead. i agree that it should be heavily diluted

I wouldn't do it... Personally... I think it's very drying. Maybe you should try a gentle "shampoo" like hair one.

ive personally never found castille soap to be drying. i don't think i even dilute it. i even use it on my face.
