Well today I went and bought myself some sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner (which the name of escapes me at this time) at our Organic market - it was the ONLY stuff there, out of an aisle of haircare stuff, that had NO sulfates, etc in it. I also got a small bottle of Jojoba oil.
I have a question about the sulfate free shampoos and conditioners though - What do all of you use? And is there a less expensive brand to go with? Because I'll tell ya, we're defintely not rich and usually have just barely enough for basic groceries....so me spending $8 a peice for an 11 oz bottle of shampoo and conditioner, is a big deal and just not something I'm sure if I'll be able to keep up. =/ So I'm wondering, is there a brand or place to get any of these where it's a bit less expensive? I know there's FAR more expensive ones than what I got!

Also, I got a satin pillowcase protector to sleep on - I couldn't justify $40 for a set of two pillowcases at Bed, bath and Beyond!! But I could swing the $4 for the other for now....at least until I look online and see if I can find some better priced. I sleep with several pillows and move around a lot so I think I should have them all covered with one. But at least I'm a step torwards being off all my normal sheets!

Ida from Chagrin Valley is so nice.  Her husband Howard does some fine woodworking in his woodshop,too!
Don't freak out if you go through the funky hair syndrome while transitioning to shampoo bars.  It'll only last alittle while until your hair gets used to them. 
I've kept them in my freezer in a zip lock bag because there's just too many of them!   I'm sure you'll find a favorite or two that you and your hair will love!

Glad all is going well all around!   Satin pillowcases are a god send and I wouldn't be without them!
