does anyone use Prell shampoo?

does anyone use Prell shampoo to wash their dreads? I havent had any problems with it really, just curious if anyone else has tried it. My only complaint is that my dreads get extra frizzy after I wash them, however, I realize this is inevitable.

yeah, i use it. my hair gets hella frizzy after i use it, but goes back to normal.so far so good, my only complaint is that the scent goes away real quick, im guessing its meant to be that way.

i've tried it but i find it a little difficult to rinse out. i'm doing the natural thing so i don't have dreads yet but i really like giovanni's organic tea tree treat shampoo. makes my hair squeaky clean.

Have you tried diluting it? Like you would baking soda? I just put about the same amount that I would use to wash my hair when it was straight (sometimes a bit more if I need some extra suds) and fill the cup the rest of the way up with water. Stir it around a bit (make sure there aren't any soap clumpies if you're using head and shoulders) and pour evenly over my dreads. I've been doing this with any liquid shampoo I use, and it's worked really well!

yeah they scent does go away pretty quickly, but im not a big fan of the smell so I guess it works out for the better.

i'm assuming your asking me about the giovanni's. i bought it at Sprouts but i think any natural type store would carry it. it's a little expensive ($9) and not a very big bottle but i wash my hair less often now so i don't have a problem with it. a little goes a long way too.

The only thing about Prell is that it has been around a really long time and came out during a period of time where "balsam" shampoos were the rage. In the 1970's, people equated the term balsam as "natural" since there was a big organic push then. Unfortunately, the "herbs" and fragrance are acheived with wax...codeword...BALSAM. True balsam is a resinous substance that I wouldn't want in my hair (don't know why anyone would! Lol). We studied this particular shampoo in beauty school, since I have been around awhile and Prell has too, we are thoroughly acquainted! I wouldn't use it.
