on 8/6/2008 unless you have layers of styling products, leave-in conditioners, lotions, and oils on your hair that need to be shampooed out, the hair shouldn't be the focus of your shampooing. the focus of your shampooing should be your scalp, as it is the scalp that secretes sebum, that sweats, and that gets these things, along with pollution, dust, and odors trapped against it between shampoos. most shampoos, even mild ones, are concentrated and can be diluted with water, which not only cleanses the scalp and hair effectively, but also stretches your dollar. who doesn't need that these days? i use dr. bronner's almond liquid castile soap as my scalp and hair cleanser. it's not a detergent. it's loaded with oils and glycerine. it effectively cleans the scalp. i dilute 2 ounces in 6 ounces of water in a bottle with a pointy spout for a shampoo that lasts me a couple of months, if not longer. i simpl

on 8/17/2006 Use the correct amount of shampoo (if you have short hair, as little as possible if you have long hair at least a coin size should do).
Use conditioner every day and leave on for 2 to 3 minutes after shampooing.

on 8/8/2006 The best way to maintain perfect shiny hair is to do a lemon juice rinse. Use this at least once a month.

on 8/8/2006 All shampoo has a different types of ingredients. The perfect shampoo is Cream Silk Black, because it contains the most vitamins with henna treatment and leaves hair soft, smooth and manageable. For me this is the only shampoo I use.

Take your favorite body lotion and put a dime drop amount in your palm and rub it though your hair. Be sure to get the ends. Also be sure the body lotion has a nice smell to it, like apple, strawberry or mango smell.
Now blow dry hair fully. Once fully dry your hair should have a slight scent of the lotion you used.
I don't recommend doing this every day, just once a week or once a month. The lotion can cause the scalp to itch.
When I do this, I use the 'Breath Delight Daily vitamin body lotion' 'uplifting tamarind nectar" Its a big bottle and available at Bath&Body Works. Be sure when you choose the lotion it has a nice smell to it. I think the best smell is a fruit smelling lotion.
