Shampoo Bar Trouble
Apr 10th, 2008 at 7:00pm
 
Recently I got a few shampoo bars to replace the shampoo I had been using.  I love the way they make my hair feel when it's dry, so soft and smells lovely.  But, while my hair is wet and damp they seem to do... something to my hair.  I can't run a hand down it smoothly, and when I try the hair actually squeaks  Shocked.  Anyone else have an idea why that happens?

I know exactly what you mean, I had used a shampoo bar pretty consistently for a while but it was making it feel stripped and.."how do I describe it?" Not slippery. I figured I could use them as often as I wanted beings they weren't sulphate and someone told me they were actually conditioning and that you may not even have to use a separate conditioner. Anyway what I found was that the more regularly I used them, the more I had to in order to keep it from looking greasy, then I started to get dry scalp. I was using it maybe 3 times a week. Anyway, bottom line is it started to effect me similarly to the way regular shampoo did way back when.

What I had started actually just tonight, is that I took an old Suave naturals bottle out in some conditioner,watered it down some and added a little bit of baking soda and shook it up. I co-washed with that concoction tonight and then conditioned like normal. So we'll see how that works.

I hope your new wash recipe works, maybe I'll try it too.  How do co-washes work, and how do you keep hair from getting greasy when washing like that?

Well, my hair is really think and mostly the only place that I show it being greasy is mostly around the roots. I just make a puddle of stuff in my hand and massage it into my top front, take a little more and get both sides and a little into whatever other scalp area that isn't covered. I just scrub it in to the scalp area. Usually that does it for me. Once and a while I will use more baking soda or an ACV rinse if I had build up that week. But usually if you are not using products with silicones there isn't much build up that the Cowash won't get rid of.

Hmm, CO washes are probably in the future for my hair.  I guess it's going to boil down to me getting over the unreasonable fear of the greasies Undecided  Thanks for the help!

Sure. Your scalp does take time to adjust to the conditioner only routine. When I used shampoo it go to the point where if I didn't use it everyday it got greasy around the roots. So it shocked me to find that just scrubbing my scalp in the shower with water and conditioner actually kept the greasies away.
