I've been using the 20 Mule Train borax for months now. It takes a little getting used to but works fine. I massage the borax water onto my scalp with my fingertips (firmly but not too hard and vigorously), wash my body, then rinse my hair and body. Works like a charm and it's so much cheaper than shampoos, plus no chemicals.

I LOVE it for my hair. If it matters, I am an African-American female with thick, curly hair....when wet! Anyway....I actually took it a step further by mixing apple cider vinegar with the 20 Mule Team Borax, and leaving it on my hair for a good 30 minutes before washing. When done, rinsed with apple cider vinegar and cold water (to close the hair shafts), it was fabulous. No soap, no chemicals...pure clean! You may have to add a pinch of conditioner after you wash....as it may not be as silky as you like it when normally done washing...but, I only used a tad bit...once. Either way, I was thrilled with the results...Keep us posted!

I used this on Hulda Regher Clark's suggestion way back in the 1990's. Personally, Mule Team did nothing for my hair. I had to go back to shampoo's because what happened was the stuff would crumble in my hair and was hard to get out. My hair became extremely tangled, and i had loads and loads of dandruff left in it. I doubt it will even touch your fungal infection.

Coconut oil kills fungus. I've heard it is good for the scalp and hair.

I tried borax too. A teaspoon in warm glass of water to massage into the hair while bathing. I did this a month, and it helped on whatever it was of infection i had on top. Ordinary shampoo didn't help, and i felt itchy after showering, but borax worked. But it did not give me back any hairs.

Since i for two years gave up carbs and does a high fat carnivore diet, my hair has also become faster fat. Anyone who thinks they have too dry hair may reconsider their relation towards fat.

Hulda Clark also recommends citric acid for shampoo to get rid of bacteria. I tried that too, and i felt it was etching, maybe too strong, but Borax was easy and comfortable.

is to use soil based probiotics. They take away smell, and are the good bacteria that is supposed to be there, if our body is alkaline.

If anyone trying Borax I suggest really stripping your hair first of all the buildup. Use dish soap to wash first, and then do the Borax wash. Then just use Borax every time you wash afterward. Then you won't have the deadlock look the first time. You need to make the Borax water as burly as needed for your hair and your water.

Benefits: less oily hair, no reaction or sensitivity, hair fallout has decreased radically; hair dye sticks to hair much better and stays much longer with less fading!!
