at a glance, its seems ok. i would do baking soda/apple cider vinegar rinses every so often in case there is residue/build up. seems like it might be conditioning though

Corn sugar is High Fructose Corn Syrup, so it's not actually all natural. Companies have been pressing for HFCS to be changed to corn sugar, on packaging, because of the bad rap that the name has with it.

Aloe Vera is too conditioning, andGlycerinwill condition your hair too. If you have african textured hair, both are ok. But if not, stay away from them in shampoo.

The BS wash is great. I'm not sure where in Europe you are, but they may call it Bread Soda around you. It's NOT the same as baking powder.

Why can't you get the soaps from dreadlockshampoo? They ship overseas. If you by 5-6 bars at a time, the shipping is the same as for 1 bar. Then you don't have to buy it over and over

Bar cost 10$ + shipping to Lithuania will be probably like 20$+, moreover there is duty payment or how is caled when shipping from usa to europe, so it will cost even more....

Oh, I know that Europe has high taxes for shipping from the US. That's part of the reason to buy multiple bars at a time. But if you don't have the cash to drop on 6 bars, the BS wash is probably your best bet. I don't know if you can get Dr. Bronners there. If you can, and have soft water, that works great too

What are your ratios of BS to water? That'll make a bi difference in how well it works. And are you doing the ACV rinse after you wash out the BS? BS is base, it'll fry your hair and scalp if used alone. ACV is an acid that will reset your natural pH balance. You shouldn't get dandruffy or flaky if you use ACV afterwards?

I done half cup of bs for 5 cups of water. After rinse, my scalp was not clean at all, i rubbed my fingers throw my scal and it was very slippery and some kind of white thing, i think that white thing was wet dandruff's. And after white vineger wash scalp was still slippery with that white stuff (there was very little of that white stuff). And ofcourse its still itchy. I didnt had apple cider vinager but i dont think that there is so huge difference between acv and white vineger..
