do you wonder why kids hair is alway...

i wondered it for AGES!
kids have perfect curls, perfect waves, perfect straight hair. even if it's messed up it still looks perfect, not a hair out of place. it just works for them, you know? lol!!
but you know WHY it works for them? heres why:
like anything that seems like age the answer is TOXINS! if you detox your scalp you will have perfect hair, just like you had when you were a kid. you know why? because 'perfect' is how nature intended it - and when you restore it to its natural state by removing toxins, this is how it will be!
this is how i did it:
1. throw away all commercial products.
even if they say 'natural'. they still have chemicals in them, even if not 'proven' carcinogenic, harmful etc. your body still has to get rid of them. kids bodies are much more efficient at getting rid of toxins - their bodies are 'the latest models', clean and functional. ours are like models that date back to the decade we were born. like an electrical appliance from the 80s, 70s, 60s...you know what i mean?!
2. wash hair with all natural, handmade, organic vegetable soap.
i got best results with olive oil soap. make sure it has no Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) in it! as imalurnin kindly informed me, SLS blocks your skin and means it is unable to get rid of toxins. if it doesnt specifically list the ingredients, dont use it. it must be 100% natural, the less things added the better. or, make your own. once you have detoxed successfully im sure you can start using soap with essential oils or msm added, though i would always alternate with a nothing-added soap to give your scalp a chance to detox.
your hair may become heavy, dull, oily for a few days. vinegar rinsing may help for a while but it may still seem to become resistant to washing, being difficult to get wet and difficult to get soap into. this is good news! it means its detoxing and you can help speed this process up by....
3. doing an olive oil scalp detox!
pour olive oil directly onto scalp skin. (if you try to apply with fingers it will only get stuck in the lengths and you will have to use twice as much). it seems like you will use a lot, just pouring it on your head, but trust me its the best way (ive tried both!) and you dont actually end up using that much. massage oil in with fingertips. ensure all skin of head is covered in oil. pay no attention to the lengths, they are not important to this step! wrap hair in towel (i did it turban style with good results) and leave overnight.
when you wake up in the morning your head will feel so fresh you will be amazed!! you really will! and you will finally understand how bad SLS clogs your skin! your hair will immediately be easier to wash, more manageable, softer and cleaner (even though it will still have oil all over it!). wash hair with your chosen natural soap. your hair will remain oily for a few days as it detoxes so best to do this over a weekend or when you can hole up at home for a while!
4. keep washing with your chosen soap...
...and you will see your hair gradually returning to its natural glory. you will see you hair become stronger, thicker, shinier as the natural oils can finally be distributed from your newly unclogged scalp lol!! your hair will be so managable, soft and will fall into its natural shape so easily. it may take a couple weeks to start seeing the best results, but slowly your hair will become as perfect as kids hair, without doing a single thing to it!
no more styling, straightening, curling, hairspray, hair gel, fluffing, smoothing or scrunching!!!! you will not even need a hairdryer any more! your beauty routine will be cut in half: just wash with soap, comb, and go!!!
im starting to sound like a commercial!!! but really, its simple enough to try for yourself to see how amazing it is (as long as you can tolerate bad hair during the detox!!)
make sure you use cold pressed, organic, unrefined olive oil though!
good luck and i hope you see your hair become so naturally beautiful, just like how it should be!!!

MoreThis is a reply to # 819,209Thanks for sharing this, Ozone!
Definitely sounds like a go! I have given up shampooos with SLS but still use shampoo from Helth Food store. I am not having much problems with my hair but then again, I am cleansing my body and that seems to help.
I will try the olive oil treatment and see if it doesn't help hair along! I still in need of using 'products' on my hair as that it is sooooooo fine and doesn't seem to have any oomph! I am letting it grow back out, got it cut short and it is now in an in-between state. When it gets to where I want, hopefully I will notice it more manageable!
Have an inspired evening, Ozone!

This is a reply to # 819,219Ozone,
I sure hope you see this!
So, I tried this last night...used castile soap and then olive oil. Left it on overnight and when I woke up my scalp didn't 'feel' any different (which was fine). I figured, if nothing else, my hair got an oil treatment (my hair is not long) and my scalp got it, too.
At any rate, so I went to wash hair, again with castile bar soap, and many hair went with it! Now, I am not too worried about that BUT it has not done that in a while. I do not use shampoos with SLS, any longer...think it has been something like 6 months absolutely but can be up to 12-15 months. I was 'weening' off it then just said forget it and gave that shampoo to others who use it (and choose not to change).
So, is it normal that my hair would be coming out doing this protocol? Is it hair that was not healthy, perse? Or, what would your opinion (or anyone's) be on that?
Thanks for your help! Have an inspired day!

This is a reply to # 824,793oh my goodness!
i sure wouldnt expect that to happen!
did you use organic, unrefined, cold pressed oil? what soap did you use - did it have any added ingredients?
i am surprised your head didnt feel any different. perhaps the many months you spent away from SLS your head had already detoxed?
you mention you have had hair falling before - so do you know what caused it the first time? if you have a chronic health problem related to falling hair maybe the detox brought on symptoms?
i repeated the procedure recently and had less good results the reasons for this was 1. did not have a good 'seal' with the towel (allowed air to get in overnight) 2. not enough olive oil on the scalp, did not cover entire scalp with good enough layer.
could either of these reasons have affected you too?
have you used the soap and olive oil on your skin before? could it have been an allergic reaction?
also, just checking, but did you rinse the soap off before putting the olive oil? im sure you must have but from the way you wrote it just have to be sure!?
one thing i can think of is maybe the oil pulled out some deep seated toxins (those that maybe caused your hair falling the first time) to the surface where they had another chance to affect the follicles...or if you use any other chemicals on your hair eg hair dyes this could happen as well, or if you are chelating heavy metals maybe?
or maybe it is a detox symptom specific to your body - were you detoxing when your hair fell before?
i notice when oil is in the hair it pulls more on the hairs and so as much as you would normally lose in a day would come out at once. what was the amount of hair that you lost - if you have weak follicles anyway then the extra friction of the oil may have caused more hairs to be pulled by the action of washing.
what i would do is to look at what caused your hair falling the first time and go from there..
i am sorry your hair is falling - i hope it is not much!!- Re: beth! b2reflect

This is a reply to # 824,942Ozone,
when my hair came out before, it was a longgg time ago...it was when I was using shampoo with SLS in it. So, a little came out, almost everytime I washed my hair. When I stopped using SLS I stopped having that problem, not sure how long after though.
Yes, I do still color my hair but have not since November, am trying to decided what I want to do with that. I have a theory that we all 'pick our poisons'. Mine would be hair color. Although I do use products, like mousse and hair spray, due to the fact my hair just lays flat otherwise...no body and fine.
Yes I did wash all the soap from my hair. What I used was a castile bar soap but unfortunately, I have NO idea of what is in it. I purchased it from a store last year (beg. of) that was going out of business and was 2 hours away. She told me how good it was and is for you and blah, blah. I bought it. I was looking at it last night and the seal that closed it said "First Impression". I did a google for it and could not find that company to find out what is in it. I guess what I will need to do is purchase a bar or liquid from health food store or go to Dr. Bronner's site.
I will use it on my body though because I did not seem to have any problems with the other bar I had used, as a body wash.
As for doing a cleanse, I am doing a parasite cleanse, as well as colon cleanse, at this time. It may be due to that and just releasing what no longer is needed?! BUT I hope that just means, the strands that have left, not ALL of them!
OH and I am sure that the towel was not that tight...as I tend to toss and turn often. So, I would not doubt that it got loose.
It may be, as you suggested, that my head is detoxed from SLS, but I thought that because it did not grow so great and did not look 'full' that maybe it needed this? I do not know and will just see what comes of it by using a different product on my hair. Although, as I type this, I think maybe it has to do with the hair products...mousse and hair spray...I may use? What do you think?
LOL As long as my hair does not fall out...other than some strands, it is not a bad thing! My hair got an overdue oil treatment. So, it's all good!
OH and as far as using olive oil, I use it as my moisturizer, after showering, as well as consume it. So, I do realize that my body is not reacting to it per se. And yes, it is extra virgin cold pressed olive oil.
Thank you, Ozone! I think I answered everything :-)...

This is a reply to # 824,964hey beth!
you had me worried i thought there was lots of clumps of hair disappearing into your drain!!
yes, you are right about the mousse and other products! i forgot to say you need to give all that up if you want to detox your head with the oil! of course once you detox you wont need that stuff any more - you will have your natural beautiful hair back!
basically, the principle with this detox is:
1. stop using toxins on the head (and body) 2. improve elimination from the skin and draw out toxins with the olive oil 3. establish a healthy, natural approach to hair care (100% natural soap, avoid any further exposure to toxins)
you have to brave the detox but once you get through it you will be glad you dont have to chemicalise your head every day with those nasty synthetics. you can read the article imalurnin shared in a reply to my post about shampoo build up if you havent read it yet (explains how commercial hair products only prolong the problem and cause further damage and toxicity rather than being a solution to hair problems)
you know, my hair used to be just like you describe totally flat and lifeless. i used to spend ages trying to get it to 'do something'. the best thing i did was give up all my hair products! i dont even blow dry my hair any more (i used to have to every day!). my hair has even become a more rich, natural looking colour - like when i was a kid!! lol! the actual strands of hair are thicker and stronger, and my hair is shiny without going anywhere near conditioner (or even vinegar!). have faith - when your head is healthy your hair will be healthy and health = beauty!!!
also, you probably know this already but many hair dyes contain heavy metal based pigments and other carcinogens (particularly dark hair colours eg the pigment ultramarine i think it is, which is in blue/black, black and purple tinted hair dyes). so these things, maybe they can make your hair fall out when you detox from them!
or do you use a vegetable dye? ive heard they are even better than the synthetic ones giving much brighter colour that lasts better! even better, have you considered using henna? it is as far as ive read, totally non-toxic.
i hope you will try the oil again some time in the furture and see good results with it! (i think it could be as simple as making sure the towel stays tight, as this makes a big difference i think)
good luck to regain your hairs natural beauty!!- Re: beth! b2reflect

This is a reply to # 827,081Hey Ozone,
thanks for the information. Okay, so this is the deal, I am going to attempt this again, Tuesday night. Now, a couple things I would like to know, please.
First off, how long will my hair be 'oily'? If it is longer than just Wednesday, can I wear a hat? Not sure if I have a scarf (bandana) or not. I will be back at work on Thursday (my off days are Tues. and Wed.) and I do not choose to go with my hair looking like I haven't cleaned in Months...LOL. I am saying that because it did look like that, well okay, maybe a couple weeks! How long before it is 'restored'?
Also, how do you keep the towel tight? As I mentioned, I tend to toss and turn, which I believe is why it had gotten loose. Although it did stay 'closed'.
I have decided I will give this an honest shot. I would like to see REAL healthy hair...meaning, not just the 'look of' but the feel, the shine, the naturalness of it.
OH and as far as my body. I am doing a parasite and colon cleanse. I use, well I did use a J/A/S/O/N brand but found out from reading a website (can't remember from where) that SLS is now being replaced with SMS and that is almost (or for some, just as) as bad as SLS. So, now I have begun using this castile soap I purchased that I mentioned, for my body. Although, I am thinking about getting the olive oil soap to use for my hair, as well as body.
I am going to transition to a more natural way of cleaning, as well as diet. LOL Actually I think diet will be harder than body and hair. I pray that the hair begins to show a difference so that I don't attempt to backslide in using products. As for hair color, I will wait it out and see how things go before I consider using anything. ALTHOUGH, the last couple times, I did use a henna, more for conditioning my hair but it does leave a 'color' on it, which worked out nicely.
Again, thank you Detour for your help and for any forthcoming knowledge and answers to my questions.
Have an inspiring evening and week ahead!
Love, Light and Peace,

This is a reply to # 829,101hey beth!
ok, first the towel thing. i used to toss and turn like crazy till i 'learned' how not to. it comes from my religion which is we try to follow the example of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). i read that he only slept on his right side (various reasons wont go into it here). so, i thought ok, i am gonna try it. and it worked. i stayed in the same position all night. so great for me as i have sleep disorder problems! was a very restful nights sleep. (plus, its better for your digestion too!)
so now, i mostly stay still at night. that is how i get the towel to stay put lol!! also, it helps me if the towel is a little damp and quite tightly pulled. i guess it is a bit of a hit and miss method though, will have to try and think of a better way...
ok. the hair oil thing. for me it was 2-3 days (sorry cant remember better!). but previous to that i had given up all my hair products for about 2 weeks and it was detoxing for that amount of time (completely unmanageable, heavy, dull etc). for me, the oil just finished things off in double quick time. but for you, it will be different most likely since your situation is different to mine.
if you can be brave for the detox it will be so worth it. but the detox will be hard. its like any of this body cleansing stuff, it gets worse before it gets better, but when it gets better its like nothing else you've ever experienced!! so in my opinion its worth it. i just pulled my hair up into a bun, clipped all the loose strands and toughed it out. so yes - wear a hat!!!
sorry i cant say how long you will have to put up with it!
that is really cool that you are starting out cleansing and better diet etc! i am too, have been cleansing/flushing for about 6 weeks. have had amazing amazing results! how has it been for you?
about the soap - i have found olive oil soap to be best. ive had to go on to vanilla soap cause i ran out and it did make my hair kind of dry at the ends. also, if you have dry hair you may want to coconut oil on it if you dont already (but with oo soap you prob wont need to!)
good luck with your 2nd attempt - keep us updated!!
ps heres my update: my hair is growing so fast since i detoxed it!! cant believe it - so happy since i cut off my long hair a while ago and i have really missed it so im hoping to have it all back how i like it a lot sooner than i thought - yay!

This is a reply to # 819,209I am going to try this although I hate the feeling of greasy and dirty hair that I guess you'll have to endure for a while.
My problem is not that my hair is thinning but that it feels coarse (I've got thick hair) and greasy in some places and dry and brittle in others, it gets sort of both dry and greasy at the same time. It's definitely gotten more coarse since I was a kid.
I always assumed it was hormonal. I Liver Flush which has "degreased" my face a lot but I haven't noticed any difference with my hir yet.
I'm hoping your tips about olive oil and OO (Olive-Oil) soap will help. Going to buy an OO (Olive-Oil) soap tomorrow : )

This is a reply to # 819,368cool!!
the great thing about this treatment is although your hair lengths will have oil on, your actual head will feel fresher than fresh washed hair even during the few detox days after. when you wake up in the morning, your head will feel so fresh like you have just dunked it in cold water!!
i used to get grease-manic hair if i didnt wash every day and it was awful i hate that feeling too, but this treatment CURED it in one go!!! fantastic stuff!
i am confident it will work for your hair probs too. i think in any of the body systems when there are stuck toxins, the body tries to overcompensate in any way it can. so it goes haywire trying to get rid of stuff - hence the hair craziness happening over the years!
good luck! excited for you! (lol!!) im doing another one tonight :)!!!- OO Soap and Hair Detox ejsmont

This is a reply to # 819,209Hey Ozone,
how are you? Doing good here.
So, I am doing this again tonight (Friday). Have the towel tight and am going to stay as 'still' as possible tonight :).
I understand I wash hair in am. I have a cap ready to wear to work this weekend. Hoping my hair is in not serious grease mode on Monday...doing a girls night out! If it is, I will still have cap :)!
I know you said not to wash hair every day. I understand the why and all but here's my question...while I am under the detox...how often do I wash it? I am using Kiss My Face Olive-Oil Soap for hair, face and am going to try teeth. I also got Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap for body.
Well, I am looking forward to 'perfect' healthly hair...:D!!! OH and I have a surpirse birthday party tomorrow night that I JUST remembered...AFTER having done hair...LOL!!! OH well, me an my cap hopefully can pull off 'mystique'!
Have an inspiring weekend, Ozone!

This is a reply to # 832,562I did the o.o. treatment on Friday evening. Saturday morning while getting ready for work, I showered and washed hair with KMFOO soap. It felt good, oily, but good. I did not have a 'serious detox' as far as tingling (minor but not major) went. I even feel tingling (minor, again) today (Tuesday). It almost feels as if my crown chakra is opening...that is the sensation of the tingling, to me.
At any rate, I was able to remove my cap yesterday and just wash and go to work. It is soft (and due to weather here in MI) it also has static. Which, by the way, is mildy annonying. When I move my hair back from my face, it stands up :-/. I am not using anything on my hair. I am not drying my hair with blow dryer. I am anticipating healthy, natural hair!
It is 'straight and kind of lifeless', at this point but I will just pull it back for now...if necessary.
So, thanks for sharing the information, Ozone! I am looking forward to seeing a difference in my hair.
OH and I just wrote out a 'thank you and release' note to my entire body. I am thanking it for all it has done for me, to the best of its ability and releasing the old and allowing Love to enter in and allow my body to function at its Highest ability...and lest, I forget, I also forgave and am honoring. I will be doing this on a daily basis, in front of the mirror. I am looking forward to the results!
Have a light filled day, Ozone and everyone else!

This is a reply to # 835,665beth i missed your post before!
you can wash your hair every day during detox! more if necessary (prob will be!) i just meant that since detoxing my hair/head i cant wash it every day since it gets too dry. my hair likes to have the natural oils on it these days and looks better after a day of not washing (rather than fresh washed) which is pretty amazing i think!
i am so happy you decided to try again! i cant wait to hear how it turns out!
WOW too, your results sound very exciting already! and sound like you are doing some great work at loving yourself that is great! im sure you will feel/see the benefits soon. so far my natural health journey has totally changed my relationship with my body, so much for the better.
my hair looked worse than ever during the detox. extremely dull and heavy. i hope it doesnt last too long for you!!

This is a reply to # 819,209Cleansings and going natural with hair treatment! I agree.
One other factor, besides oil pulling, you all may consider is adding Iodine supplementation. Especially for us women, it is a needed and neglected essential nutrient. Have you investigated the Iodine Forum? Iodine deficiency will be evidenced in hair health.
If you will examine each patient's hair in the phots on this link you can see the difference thyroid (iodine) supplementation made for these people.

This is a reply to # 819,209Ok So I tried smearing my scalp in olive oil last night and wrapped it up with a towel. It was the greasiest I've ever seen myself! So I woke up this morning and to my surprise my hair was not greasy, my scalp was not greasy, and there was no tingling feeling (It's been over a month since i switched off all SLS shampoo+personal products). What I did notice that seemed odd was my urine. There were lots of oil vesicles (small circles) forming in the toilet bowl when I peed... What the? haha has this happened to anyone else?
