hey guys! I use bs/acv most of my washes, but sometimes I like to switch it up with some bronners...or other natural soaps. I make soaps...and whatever, but I buy a lot of natural soaps too...(the boy works outdoors and showers frequently usually having to remove god knows what from god knows where). We are a no poo and sls free home, and have been since before I started dreading. We have a closed water system, and we pull our own water and filter it from the lake...so we choose to be extremely careful.
I came across this store and ordered a few bars about a month ago...we are still using the tea tree/lemon bar we STARTED with. We ended up giving most of that order away in gifts for birthdays/pick me up's/whatever. I ordered another order with small sample bars and some body butter (Not to digress..but that is HEAVENLY), and ended up giving most of that away to people who had told their friends, etc...and so on...I now have about 6 bars of the stuff...and I use it on my dreads, my face, my body - everything. It is castile soap, made with plant oils and lye...cold pressed, done the old fashioned way...it all smells SOOO good.
When I wash my dreads, I typically concentrate on my scalp - and since I live in such a dry area - this soap is amazing BECAUSE it doesn't strip any of the natural oils. Also, the maker lives in an area of Illinois that is NOTORIOUS for having hard water (limestone is everywhere)...and she (? i think...not that it matters) seems to have less issues. It might be worth a try. Though Ihaven'tasked, I would bet she would do custom soap orders too if you were patient with the soaponification process.
Comes very highly recommended from a very satisfied customer.
