other natural ways to wash you hair

ok - i have not written here in a while - since no one is following this blog - but i thought i'd update - just for fun.

i have recently tried bentonite clay to wash my hair with and this is what happened. the first time i waited til my hair was very dirty and mixed up some of the clay with a few drops of lavender oil and water. smoothed this through my hair and left it for 30 minutes. when i rinsed it out my hair was very soft and smooth. when it dried however - it seemed that the oil was left in and my hair was tangly and staticky - not good.

well, i tried it again another time - this time with only one drop of lavender oil and leaving it in only one minute. good results - my hair was clean for days and very soft and shiny.

i have since abandoned this method and gone back to water only washing.

i have found that the juice of one lime in a liter of water poured over my head and massaged in and then rinsed out every couple of weeks works great!!! this removes the waxy feeling and leaves the natural oils and makes my hair super shiny.
