new thread
Hey guys you may remember me from (about 2 weeks?) ago, i havent used shampoo in 3 weeks and have been rinsing my hair with White Vinegar once or twice a week, lately ive been noticing some dandruff-like flaky buildup on my scalp, but no itching really, i read up on the internet and discovered that it is most likely old dead skin cells being disposed of in the process of getting my hair off the chemical dependancy (or something like that)
Now ive been debating getting a boar bristle brush before this, just for standard use, but do you guys think it would help for this particular problem (due to oil distribution)
I included the picture of my hair again in this thread because i have heard that some hair is too thick to get a boar bristle brush through and a mix of nylon and boar bristles is reccomended for such cases, just wanted your guys opinion

Oops pictures a bit big this time round for some reason, oh well.
We always have the use of the scroll bar! :-)
What is this contraption you speak of?
Open the release valve until the auxiliary pressure gauge reads 15 psi. Then very carefully pull the scroll bar back until the picture is in view. The scroll bar is the short one next to the Johnson bar. Don't forget to close the release valve when you're done viewing, and keep a close eye on the mains pressure too. If it doesn't work, shovel more coal into the boiler, but then you should already know that.
Sheesh. Just like when I was in tech support. Half the users had forgotten to make sure the boiler was firing.
I was always guilty of letting the pressure get too high.
Never been a fan of looking at a picture under a microscope. :S
Us posh people have a scroll wheel on our mouse. (grin)
Oh how the other half lives!
Wait till you balls drop out!
Hi Ryan,
Well at least I can say the big picture goes well with the big hair;)LOL.Seriously you have great looking hair at the time this pic was taken and you will only benefit from using a true boars bristle brush.I have to say I have a drawer full of nylon brushes of various types and I've never liked any of them.Finally I'd say around six months ago I bought a genuine boars bristle brush and just was amazed how it felt going through my hair and the way it looked afterwards.So I'd say buy one and enjoy as my hair is straight like yours appears to be so it should work well for you.Do keep us posted on your progress though.What is your goal for length at this time?Cheers my friend.

Alright thanks, sounds good to me.
Goal Length? I dont know, i dont think there is a such thing as too long though until im in danger of tripping over it, heh, im just gonna let it grow as long as it grows over the years. Ill be sure to post a 6 month update picture when the time comes, like to post updates in 6 month intervals.
Well guys im definitely going to get one soon, any recommendations on what kind of boar bristle brush i should get?
Please use a smaller one - this is far too big and not just to be ignored like you post suggests below.
A boar bristle brush should be fine - no need to mix with nylon.

Well Ryan,
I finally got around to buying my first boars bristle brush a few weeks ago. My hair isn't nearly as straight as yours but I absolutely fell in love with the brush. All other brushes are junk.

When I first stopped using shampoo I had to use a vinegar rinse once every two or three days. After about a month I started rinsing with vinegar once a week and just water every two or three days in between that. Now I'm at the stage where I can use vinegar once every fortnight (depending on my diet) and water every one or two days in between.
But even like that my scalp took a while to adjust. I think if you do a vinegar wash more frequently you might adjust to not using shampoo a bit better.
I only finger comb my hair and I don't have any problems. When I first got off shampoo I had some dandruff and oiliness problems, but they go away with time.
