  2 0 I think it definitely works. You can also wash it with some baking soda once or twice a week if you wish. It takes a little while for your hair to adjust (a week or two) but after that you're good to go. I went back to shampooing but I only shampoo every other day or so and I use a natural shampoo (Jason Aloe Smoothing formula) with no sodium lauryl sulfate. SLS tends to be the ingredient in most shampoos that really messes with curly and wavy hair.

Just make you you dilute it properly (1:3 with water). You can also use conditioner for a good scalp rub, rinse well, condition ends then rinse half-assedly. maridot commented about 1 year ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 I've been trying that too, and it does help. I'm finding that it feels best to avoid conditioner on my scalp and just scrub with fingertips and hot water every couple of days, followed by leave-in conditioner, and then once in a while I break down and shampoo because it feels good, but I apply conditioner to my hair first (I have long hair) and then shampoo just to my scalp, in an effort to keep the soap away from most of the hair shaft as much as possible. The compromise seems to work. Bonus tip: try Moroccan Oil hair products. The curl cream is awesome and it smells great. Violet DaGrinder answered in Style & Beauty about 1 year ago | Report 2 comments by Irena and Violet DaGrinder… 0 0 This sounds like it might work for me, too. I'm not happy about all the conditioner I've been using, so I'm going to try the hot-water finger-scrub. And I'm intrigued by this Moroccan Oil stuff. "Curl memory technology"? Uh, okay. Delicious smell? Yes! Irena commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 I'm also using MOP leave-in conditioner. Both that and the Moroccan Oil stuff in damp hair, then scrunch-n-dry. Looks better than it ever has.

  1 0 Don't ask me how I know this, but Carol's Daughter makes a range of hair care products designed for African-American women who traditionally suffer terribly from dry, damaged curly hair. Their stuff is very moisturizing and gentle. The Black Vanilla shampoo in particular if used sparingly will keep some body in your hair. Fnarf answered in Style & Beauty about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Irena… 0 0 This stuff looks really good, and it's only 13 bucks - whoo! ...but there's a $15 shipping charge to Canada. Argh. I'll have to look for it next time I'm down there.

  1 0 I have very curly hair, and cutting down on shampooing and using Alffia shea butter hair lotion every day after showering has finally made me feel like I have semi-normal hair for the first time in my life, rather than a weird dried up ball of fuzz on my head... it think you just have to find what works for you.. the key is to make sure you use some powerful conditioner/leave in stuff to compensate for the lost moisture when you use shampoo... although I'm a dude so the advice might not be totally applicable bikechef answered in Style & Beauty about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 I've done it too. It worked until I started swimming. Baking soda and conditioner didn't seem to remove chlorine the same way that shampoo does.
