Just read that article on how to make sea salt spray. Might try that out soon, I've been using Mousse lately but it leaves my hair looking a lil too crunchy. I just wish my hair was less curly and more wavy. Depending if I go home this weekend, might see about having my hair trimmed up. I will probably just keep the length up top and have the sides trimmed down a bit.

How often should one shampoo and/or condition?

[fobsquad]

it depends how much one uses.

[bestie]

been using these guys and can't recommend them enough:

Davines Salt Spray (little pricey but great)

and

This is the tits. And it's cheap ($10) smells amazing, great hold, washes out. I'd expect it to cost 2-3x as much. Nooch!

I rock the typical short on the sides, combed up and over-type steeze...

if that link is the baking soda thing i've been doing it for a while now. my hair is the best its ever been i think

[mr.invincible]

i wonder how well its works with asian frizzy hair.

also e0d -

how often you do the Apple Cider Vinegar Conditioner? and what is your Mix Ratio?

Edited October 6, 2012 by mr.invincible

[e0d9n0b5]

i actually haven't done the apple cider vinegar conditioner, but my ratio for the baking soda is the standard one, 1 tbsp baking soda : 1 cup water

and it works for all hair types, just give it time to return the balance of your scalp to normal. the first few weeks it will seem really weird, and you might think you still need to shampoo after, but you don't.

i've been doing it for maybe 2 months now and my hair is in the best shape its ever been. except i need a cut

[NatseOklim]

Been growing out my pseudo jugend for a while now, it's getting awkward but still haven't decided what to do with my hair. Sucks.

[the hall of vame]

going to try the baking soda/water mixture out... need a cut in a bit but not sure where to go with it (been getting the same cut for a while now n trying to switch it up)

[e0d9n0b5]

nice glad to hear somebody else is trying it out!

in case anybody wants to see how its going for me, this is maybe 2 months in. i washed it maybe 2 hours ago with baking soda, this is with no product at all in it

[gettoasty]

fuck you

you just have nice hair

[DJ_Flame]

LOL neg rep

Haha jelly of your hair. Wish I have natural texture like that.

I washed my hair with baking soda twice so far and I like it. My hair feels better and less stripped down/dry.

[NatseOklim]

i may attempt to get this cut tomorrow (ignore the douchy accoutrements). Opinions? And what product would work best? I have quite fly away, very straight hair.

[DJ_Flame]

Looks fine, I'm also going with this once I start my job.

Try a gel, blowdrying and hairspray.

[redX]

have people with an itchy scalp/dandruff tried the baking soda thing and might want to share their experience

evan do you use product?

[e0d9n0b5]

i had itchy scalp/dandruff. baking soda fixed both.

i use redken matte finish wax sometimes, not often though. other than that nothing

Hey, I have a question about the no poo method. I did it last winter, and I mixed one tablespoon of baking soda to 1 tablespoon of water, but after having it in the shower for 2-3 weeks the mixture got really cold. so would you guys recommend doing it in smaller batches, or mixing it up every time you shampoo, (which is what, once a week?) ... or manning up?

i just do 1 cup hot water to 1 tablespoon baking soda, and mix it every time. if you keep it in a sealed tub of baking soda in your bathroom with a plastic measuring cup and spoon it only takes 10 seconds to mix it.

i've never tried the 1 tbsp to 1tsbp method, i've heard its like a paste?

the main thing that's hard about the no poo is getting used to the fact that it won't seem like its doing anything for the first little while. give it 2-3 weeks at least to get your scalp making the correct amount of oil again.

[joeyod007]

^ oh, ya, sorry thats what i meant. but thank you. ya when i did it last i stopped because i got dandruff, so it might of been that my scalp was purging or something. i cant really remember how long i did it for though probably around a month. i shave my head know so it will probably be less noticeable.

[e0d9n0b5]

might have been that the mixture was too thick and was harsh on your scalp, too. i use the 1 cup to 1 tbsp ratio and its fine, i have a fairly sensitive scalp too(used to get psoriasis on my scalp sometimes ha)

[joeyod007]

coool, thank you, appreciate it!

[e0d9n0b5]

no prob boycott shampoo!

[mr.K-O]

i have a very oily scalp, I'm going to try baking soda/water.

BTW - Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Liquid soap used as a body wash is gold.

[mr.invincible]

Ok so I tried the apple cider vinegar conditioner (1-1 Ratio, 1 cup of water to 1 cup of Apple Cidar Vinegar), and let me tell you, this thing works wonders.

I think you can see and feel the results within your first trial. I'm asian and I have that asian dry frizzy hair thing. Usually what I do to fix this is that after I take a shower I would put on a cap to kind of settle things out, put the hair in check, flatten it, and make it smoother.

But with the apple cidar vinegar, it kinda does that for me. Instantly after my hair dried, I didn't have that dry frizzy fro hair thing going on. The hair was settled, it felt smooth to the touch, and was good to walk out without wearing a cap.

[xcrunchx]

i have found that if you have a really dry scalp get some hair oil (from some herbal shop or whatever) and apply it generously and massage it in. Then shampoo it and it catches all the dandruff flakes in the oil as well as moisturizing your scalp.

what are some next level haircuts for short hair? (less than 2")

[DJ_Flame]

Feeling the Rob Pattison messy quiff:

My length is just right. Y/N?
