Have to say, I'm all for non chemicals, let's face it, we are killing ourselves with all of this, underarm aluminium, hair colours, shampoos, etc..

But, 1) I have to use conditioner after and 2) I love the idea of any oil lightly placed on my face, if the Italians and Greeks, look so good at 70 there has to be something with this Olive oil, oh and I use that off course for cooking

But, putting vegetable oil in my hair? I can only visually see, greasy hair at the end of it...

But good for your Grandma in making up natural products, doerfler, you've written a few things like this but never really backing it up with how it has worked, etc....

And, can we ask why it's called Desert Shampoo?

Interaction on this Forum is a good thing you know...
