I am a recent convert to the no shampoo bandwagon, and also to the vinegar rinse, which I am lovin! My question is to any of you who have used dr bronner's castile soap for your hair, I have been using the peppermint with just a bit of water to dilute it, and while i like how it doesnt lather with chemicals like regular shampoo, i feel like it leaves my hair a bit drier than i'd like. It may be due to the hardwater in my area(im in southern utah and it's definately as hard as it comes), but I am curious if it's the hard water alone or if that is just a normal result from the castile soap, thanks guys!
I've tried Bronner's, and haven't been impressed. I find it leaves the hair tangled, and when I use their conditioner, it doesn't seem to do the job. I like their hair cream, though.
As for me, I use Morroccan (sp?) Oil, which seems to be a better product.
Hi Nate, I completely agree. I like the Bonner's Hair Creme, as it has some of everyone's favorite oils in it, but I like to blend it with some clear gel, which for curly haired guys like me helps keep stuff in place, and some bounce to it all. A month or so ago, I was trying out the Bonner line, and was recommending it to you and the board, but I think that was a mistake. I like the soap for the skin, and it is great after a workout, but using it for hair, even with their new conditioner is not working for me. I kind of go for a good conditioner wash every day, using shampoo 2-3 times a week too. The gel plus the haircream is great for the fly-away hair, and for adding some measure of control to my wavy mop.
Thanks for experimenting.

I agree with you about the soap--I'm devoted to the peppermint soap! But NOT for hair.
I've used other kinds of castile soap on my hair. They left it with a raspy texture that made it tangle more.
