Morei gave up using my old shampoo and conditioner (redken) after reading the Hulda Clark book. i started using aloe shampoo and i plan to start making my own shampoo in the future when i get round to it that is!
my question is about the build up that i can feel on my hair from using shampoo. after i started oil pulling for some reason i started noticing it a lot more. at the moment i use 50/50 distilled malt vinegar/water rinse and it gets rid of it great and makes my hair so shiny and soft.
i was wondering though, if there are any natural shampoos that dont leave this build up on your hair, or if the only solution is to make your own?
also, does anyone know of any natural ways to protect hair from the heat of hair straighteners? im hoping to give them up when my hair grows out enough to get a good style cut into it but till then i still need them!!!

hello, ozone bubble.
Does your aloe shampoo contain sodium lauryl sulfate? I have totally sworn off anything with sls; it is a cheap, strong, high-foaming detergent. Even though we purchase things in the health food store, we still have to read the labels. SLS is in handsoap, shampoo, and toothpaste. Even after what you think is a thorough rinsing, it is an irritant that causes canker sores, aggravates eczema and other skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, and psoriasis. SLS may be a carcinogen. Questions raised include whether it builds up in the liver, central nervous system, or cells.
I have fair skin and rosacea. OP has been a tremendous benefit for my skin; getting away from SLS has enhanced my OP experience. My scalp "breathes." In place of commercial shampoos, I have been using liquid castile soap; final rinse is 1 TBS unpasterized ACV mixed in a quart of warm, distilled water.
We do what we can. I believe the more attuned our lives are to nature the better we benefit.
Below is a link and excerpt you may find interesting re SLS.
http://www.healthy-communications.com/slsmostdangerousirritant.html
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate
This inexpensive detergent is commonly used in cosmetic cleansers, hair shampoos, bath and shower gels, bubble baths, etc. - It is probably the most dangerous ingredient used in skin and hair-care products. In the cleaning industry SLS is used in garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers, car-wash soaps, etc. It is very corrosive and readily attacks greasy surfaces.
Sodium lauryl sulfate is used throughout the world for clinical testing as a primary skin irritant. Laboratories use it to irritate skin on test animals and humans so that they may then test healing agents to see how effective they are on the irritated skin.
A study at the University of Georgia Medical College, indicated that SLS penetrated into the eyes as well as brain, heart, liver, etc., and showed long-term retention in the tissues. The study also indicated that SLS penetrated young children's eyes and prevented them from developing properly and caused cataracts to develop In adults.
May cause hair loss by attacking the follicle. Classified as a drug in bubble baths because it eats away skin protection and causes rashes and infection to occur.
Is potentially harmful to skin and hair. Cleans by corrosion. Dries skin by stripping the protective lipids from the surface so it can't effectively regulate moisture.
Another extremely serious problem is the connection of SLS with nitrate contamination. SLS reacts with many types of ingredients used in skin products and forms nitrosomines ( nitrates ). nitrates are potential cancer-causing carcinogenics.
Because of the alarming penetrating power of SLS, large amounts of these known carcinogens are absorbed through the skin into the body. A variation of SLS is SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate- SLES). It exhibits many of the same characteristics and is a higher-foaming variation of SLS.

This is a reply to # 799,203hi imalurnin!
'Even though we purchase things in the health food store, we still have to read the labels. '
i agree! i knew the aloe shampoo was still not great but at least did not have all those other nasties that were in my old shampoos. i looked for borax (after reading Hulda Clark ) and castile soap, and soapnuts etc etc but just got sick of running around so much and never turning anything up! i got the aloe as a temporary measure because i really wanted to stop using my other products.
im hoping to get a natural alternative online sometime soon, but i need something in the meantime since my hair is just getting dull and horrible!
your info has encouraged me to just go ahead and make my own shampoo. thanks!!! i really needed the encouragement! i found the info on sls v interesting and makes me even more determined to find an alternative solution!

This is a reply to # 799,428ok. i stopped using my aloe shampoo. no more sle! you inspired me imalurnin!!
but my hair has turned into an oil disaster!
first i used 100% pure natural handmade vegetable soap with lavender. it was bar soap but its all i have at the moment!!! i rinsed with 50/50 distilled malt vinegar (again im making do) which usually leaves my hair clean of residue, silky, soft and very clean. not this time! my hair just was heavy with oil. even heavier than before i washed it!
second attempt i tried to make my own shampoo. it was fun! heres what i put it: an egg white (leftover from a liver flush!), honey, vinegar, aloe juice and i think a little water but i cant remember. it smelled medicinal and natural and was very nice to wash my hair with. it was so natural i loved it! i rinsed with very cold water then i went to sleep. today i wake up and my whole hair is heavy heavy heavy with oil! worse than before! lol!
so im thinking: either the sle was blocking everything in before, like trapping it in my scalp and now that im not using it everything is getting flushed out.
or: i am using the very wrong things to wash my hair.
really, it must be both. get me some dr bronner quick!!!- Try this. imalurnin

This is a reply to # 802,440See if you can shave/grate a little of the soap (about 1/2 teaspoon or less) into some warm distilled water (about 1/4 cup) and make a liquid "shampoo." Stir/beat it with your comb - it will get foamy. Let it dissolve thoroughly before you apply it to your wet hair. Using just a little of the soap/shampoo mix, massage into your hair and scalp. Rinse with warm water. Then, rinse/massage with 1 tablespoon of your vinegar stirred in 1 quart of warm distilled water. Rinse again with tepid water. Dry.
The distilled water does not have minerals and chemicals that will react with the soap or vinegar.
Tell me how that works.

This is a reply to # 804,945thank you imalurnin! i will try it as soon as i get some distilled water.
what i think after some more experience of my recent hair changes is that i am detoxing through my scalp. my hair has become darker (closer to the colour of my eyebrows, i always wondered why my eyebrow hair and head hair didnt match...) its great cause i always wanted darker hair, since i noticed it matched my skin much better when it was wet (and therefore darker.)
anyway!
i found if i use enough soap to really get the suds all over my scalp, my hair does not get heavy/oily. if i use only some soap, a disaster strikes. also same, if i use no soap and just water. i find it weird, since often my hair is fine in the morning but then if i get in the shower and rinse it with water it comes out all heavy and oily. so thats why i think its a detox reaction...but i have no idea really...
today i changed from lavender soap to olive oil soap. this has been much better for both my skin and hair. i also resumed using 50/50 distilled malt vinegar/water with good results so far (still day 1). my hair still has not got all nice and shiny but im patient and i think as i progress with cleansing and flushing and hopefully trying your shampoo idea, things will improve. also, i cant wait to get some coconut oil since over the summer i took to rubbing coconut on my hair because i was so amazed at how gorgeous it made it look. (i had no idea about coconut oil at that point! otherwise i wouldnt have done such a weird thing as rubbing bits of coconut on my hair! lol!!!)
despite setbacks, i am SO happy i have left commercial bad stuff behind, i really feel like im finally getting towards my dream: natural beauty!!!!
thanks so much for your continuing support and advice imalurnin! ill let you know how it goes with your shampoo idea!- Found this post from White Tiger re ... imalurnin

This is a reply to # 809,649the shampoo sounds GREAT! still have to be able to get hold of all the ingredients though...
question: instead of distilled water can i use RO filtered water?
my hair has pretty much settled down by now, just using the olive oil soap and rinsing with 1tsp distilled white vinegar in 750ml plain RO water. (i reduced the amount of vinegar in the rinse after reading the link you put - great article, thanks!)
from what i understand it was partly the pH imbalance after using the soap that was causing the hair weirdness. but also, i think it was partially a detox reaction esp since my skin is not in greatest condition in terms of elimination power (remedying that at the mo, and seeing improvements in hair too)
will def be trying to source ingredients to try and make both recipes!!!

This is a reply to # 802,440Strange, I don't know if I'm experiencing the same as you, but I have been rinsing my hair with 1/2 water, 1/2 apple cider. For a good while it was so full of body and really clean and now I am having oily scalp problems too.. ? I don't ever remember me having an oily scalp.. I wonder if maybe my hair is getting used to it or ... ???

This is a reply to # 815,960The reason you may be experiencing an oily itchy scalp is your over cleansing it. When the scalp is dry, the sebum glands react to produce more sebum. You could also have pattern hair loss or premature thinning. There are many topical oils that soothe, are anti-inflammatory and help with calming the scalp. Sea Buckthorn is good if you have demodex infestation. There are also oral supplements that help with reducing oil production such as Borage oil. I've been a licensed cosmetologist for the last 25 years, and in the last 4 years, I've been treating thinning hair, hair loss and problem scalp conditions. There is a cutting edge medical office in Davis CA that promotes holistic health. They take a family History, full blood panel and test it against 90 allergens hormonal and chemical imbalances and check filtering organ function. I personally believe since the skin is the largest organ of the body, it is often the barometer of internal health. When positive changes occur internally and cleansing treatments help remove build up, follicle impurities and is supported with organic products and supplemental oils and orals, our skin reacts and gets healthier. That includes the skin and scalp.
Good luck to you.
