so i started neglecting around the end of may (26th) and i was washing with baking soda and salt with a lemon alternative to thevinegarrinse. I loved it at first. it made my hairclump and dry rather thatsilkywith shampoo. So after awhile i had some irritation and i had so much shedding... i assumed i had breakage aswell from the baking soda. So after awhile i had a lot of oil build up..mostly at the scalp and roots...i tried a fewdifferentwashes butcouldn'tget rid of the oil. so i went out and bought... dr bronners.. sigh.. at first it was great loved the lather and it didnt detangle or make it silky... but after the thirdwash i noticed that gummy white residue i hear about, wasnt washing out even with distilled water and very diluted portions...so i did acouple of baking soda washes with acv rinse but still no effect... icouldliterallyfeel this sticky glue on my hands from it. SOOO i did what most of you will findblasphemousaround these parts.. i brushed my hair :O (but it was wooden aKangha of sort but not so finely toothed more of a brush) to remove theexcessiveshedding hair... did another scrub..and then... real shampoo! (guess i shouldve used regular soap first)(it was mane and tail) the stuff for horses.... now i have the most straight arrow stringy hair ever...back to ground zero. So heres what i want to know for from now on.
Did you have to deal withexcessiveamounts of shedding from neglect?
This was the most irritating, pullingclumps out with my hair tie or anytime i pulled my hair or ran my fingers through it (which i know iscounter productive to dreading)
Did you have irritation/breakage from bakingsoda or dr bronners?
I read Baking Soda even with acv is very damaging to the hair & scalp, are there any alternatives with the same tangling effect?
Ugh ican still feel the dr bronners residue on my hands o.O
And i havent been able to find a soap/shampoo that removes oil without making silky.
dronners made it frizzy and straw like... which im fine with as long as i dont have an oily scalp...which i dont see bs&acv helping much with.
So how do you remove oil?
Did you have to deal withexcessiveamounts of shedding from neglect/natural?
Did you have irritation/itching/breakage from bakingsoda or dr bronners?
much love.
