Hair

It has not looked oily so far, but I do not have naturally oily hair to

begin with, so that might help. I still blow it dry, and that might affect

the result as well. I just stand under the shower and massage for a couple

of minutes, till it 'feels clean.' I have also enlisted my husband's help

with the 'smell' test--he's pretty sensitive to various odors, and I'm using

him as my 'canary in the mine shaft' to alert me to anything I may not be

noticing. :-) So far, so good. I only brush my hair as needed, at least once

in the morning, once at night. My hair is quite short, just below my ears in

length

Hello everyone, I wanted to come back in on the hair e-mails - I " washed " my

hair again yesterday using hot water (in the shower) and then lemon juice

rinsed onto my scalp and another little " wash " then rinsed off and my hair

is great again.

 

I was still using some hair spray to keep my hair from flying all over but

i am finding now I don't need it as my hair is well behaved now - thicker

feeling - it is very good.

 

I love to think I am using natural fruit on my hair - my hair is not oily -

hasn't been oily for a lot of years but i have good thick hair.

 

The shampoos were stripping my hair of all its own goodness and now the

body " in my hair is natural - the way it was meant to be - if it is doing

that to my hair imagine what is happening on the inside!!!!!!!

Feeling good!

Love Lynne

Lots of hairy stuff going on here!

I have VERY think and slightly wavy hair so I can relate to not

wanting that oily dirty overly thick feeling. When my hair feels

like that I wash more frequently with lemon (remember I use a whole

blended lemon which I've found balances it out, so my natural oils

don't get stripped but after a lemoning it's clean and silky)

 

here are a few things to consider

 

1-humidity - in florida I lemon every other day, but in california I

lemon once a week or every other week. Also in florida I wash with

water everyday & in california every 2-4 days.

 

2-Oil in diet - natural oils as they come in thier package (avocado,

durian, bananas) i've found are good for the my hair and skin, but

pressed oil is NOT AS IT COMES IN NATURE! Whenever I have even just

a drip of pressed oil I get pimples and oily skin - to me that means

it's clogging up my pores

 

3- Chemicals in the shower water - Pretty much impossible for most

of us to get around this, a filter on your water would decrease the

amount but it's still present, keep that in mind with how long and

often you shower. I love taking baths and standing in the shower

for a while just letting the hot water soothe me, but at the same

time I'm taking in the chemicals and wasting lots of water. I've

learned to become more efficient with my shower time, and I've

become sensitive to the chemical content by way of smell and feel -

which tells me just how long I can stay in the water.

 

4-previous chemical use, it takes time for hair to grow, which means

if your hair is not in the best shape right now it will improve with

natural cleaning, but in time you will see that your hair has taken

on a whole new level of healthy.

 

NOTE - I'm no scientist, and I do not " study " these things from

books, although reading does give me ideas and inspiration, all that

I truly learn is from my personal experience.

 

THE BOTTOM LINE - forget what the experts say, and experiment for

yourself, find what works for you.

 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: We put our " trust " into the industries that

create baby products, HOWEVER those products are just as chemical

ladden as ours, only the packaging and advertisement is " Gentler " on

the mind. Be warned of what you are told to believe, in our society

it is usually the exact opposite (thanks elchanan & laurie for

opening my eyes to that one)

know more about this????

Question - when you say one whole lemon blended are you talking about the rind

also or just the lemon itself?

I have more natural highlights, but no bleaching effect.

 

re-growth, not sure i have so much hair, but my husband shaves his

head and is pretty bald in the front, waiting to see if it looks

like some hair is growing back.

Thanks, everyone, for your responses. My husband is losing his hair, so I'm

hoping he will be a guinea pig and try this out. I'll keep you posted.

Someone suggested Rosemary Oil and Lemon. Perhaps I'll have him try that

mixture since Rosemary is supposed to stimulate hair growth.

 

My hair is getting curlier with age and I'm tired of fighting it, so I'm

hoping this will bring out the curls. Also, over the past few months, I

have decided to stop coloring my hair although now I see a few gray hairs

appearing. I have read that Sandalwood Oil is good for premature gray

(although mine really isn't premature since I'm 38) so maybe I will mix a

drop of Sandalwood with my lemon. Also, my reference book says that

Rosewood Oil will lighten hair color if anyone is interested.

 

Thanks for all of your feedback!

Linda :-)
