I stopped using it because every time I washed my hair with it, my dreadlocks felt looser, looked a heck of a lot messier, and I've been using it for five months. I can't use a product once or twice and decide if I like it or not. I have to use it for a couple of months and take note of every time I wash them what goes on, What was different, etc. And then from then on out, I'll make a decision. After reading the Vicks thing, I stopped immediately and ordered new shampoo. Best of luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-51085184817211873562014-04-07T00:23:20.083-04:002014-04-07T00:23:20.083-04:00TruuuuTruuuuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-17244714928186497432014-03-04T20:38:55.574-05:002014-03-04T20:38:55.574-05:00Here's a hot tip for those who have dreads/loc...Here's a hot tip for those who have dreads/locs and want to speed up the locking process... Instead of just hand twisting or palmrolling your dreads/locs in one direction, BANTU KNOT them. The bantu knots will ensure that the tips of your dreads/locs will lock up and not just stay loose. Follow this up by buying Nudred and rub it in circles on your bantu knots/dreads/locs to ensure that they will lock up even further. Alternatively, if you don't want to purchase Nudred, you can use your hands to rub your dreads/locs in circles instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016232809236419475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-21778805504353728672014-03-04T20:36:53.744-05:002014-03-04T20:36:53.744-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016232809236419475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-36341021092714798182014-03-04T20:04:15.202-05:002014-03-04T20:04:15.202-05:00The tingle shampoo I have has all the ingredients ...The tingle shampoo I have has all the ingredients you mentioned EXCEPT SLS.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016232809236419475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-88558034066079424562014-02-02T19:14:50.833-05:002014-02-02T19:14:50.833-05:00Try Neals Yard Organic products if you can get the...Try Neals Yard Organic products if you can get them in the US.

My favs from Dr. Bonner include peppermint, lavender, rose, Eucalyptus, and tea tree.

We all are going to try a new product, either love it, hate it, or be indifferent and the same product can breed different opinions. Since you are using it I would be more than happy to put my bottle in a box for you and ship it to you. If you are interested, please email me offline gigglz665@gmail.com your address I will send it out to you.Gigglzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111986337935666625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-38840539473059515072009-07-11T12:25:13.134-04:002009-07-11T12:25:13.134-04:00I love this post - we all about to get educated up...I love this post - we all about to get educated up in here!<br /><br />I know I asked you why you were concerned about using it because I had a bottle and my locked cousins use it faithfully. I know they don't have SLs but I wanted to see why they liked it so much. Thanks for doing the research. <br /><br />What I'd like to add is that the product does NOT contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS/SLES)which are usually products that I try to steer clear of not just for my hair but also for skin products (that goes for my children too!). The DMD Hydantoin is a preservative.<br /><br />However, on this journey I've found out that one man's meat is another man's poison so what works for me may not work for you and vice versa, I have used it a couple of times without issue but I also only use it when I want to clean my scalp of any flaky gunk.<br />Once again - thanks for the education!<br /><br />ps - I paid about £2.00 for my bottle!Bajan Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17613287035306860890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-54322552832579936302009-07-06T08:23:36.807-04:002009-07-06T08:23:36.807-04:00Its funny you say you have been using Dr. Bronner&...Its funny you say you have been using Dr. Bronner's.
