One night I rubbed pure tea tree oil into his scalp liberally and he let it stay in his scalp over night. The next day an entire layer of skin on his scalp flaked off it was like a blizzard. After that he never had dandruff again.wes jupiterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575503200915477350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-1051934970857713572010-08-29T22:44:06.256-04:002010-08-29T22:44:06.256-04:00I only shampoo when my girlfriend shampoos me.

Curly hair often gets dry at the ends though. For most of my life I shampooed daily or every other day and showered obsessively once or twice every single day... In the past few months I swore off shampoo almost completely. I still shower every day and rinse my hair with water, but no 'poo. I brush my hair with a natural bristle brush every night to distribute the natural oils. My hair has never, ever looked so great. For the first couple weeks it was a little too oily, but I just brushed and brushed it out. When I experimentally shampooed it after swimming in a lake (didn't want it to smell funky) it was dull for the next couple days. Not sure if no 'poo would work so well for people without natural oily complexions or with fine, straight hair... but I'm for once very, very happy with my "roots."<br /><br />About the dandruff, sometimes things like shampoo use can become a vicious cycle... the scalp dries out and produces more oil, which then causes the scalp to become suffocated and flake. Try brushing more to distribute the oils... There's a reason we're a social, grooming species. Having a sexy man brush my hair is a pretty fantastic feeling.Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-22540687168901249832010-08-25T22:20:16.788-04:002010-08-25T22:20:16.788-04:00Adding to earlier point - my face still generates ...Adding to earlier point - my face still generates a lot of oil, though my hair doesn't anymore, and most of the rest of my body doesn't, either. In my normal morning shower, I shampoo, then use the excess suds to wash off the stale sweat, etc., from the day (and night) before. But I need soap to get my face feeling clean. So, given that shampoo (at least the stuff I use) is less effective than soap at removing oils, I don't think that daily shampooing is really taking my hair that far from its natural condition.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389602137217799305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-45215926977570811692010-08-25T18:45:03.171-04:002010-08-25T18:45:03.171-04:00When I was a teenager (in the 80s), my hair and sk...When I was a teenager (in the 80s), my hair and skin were excessively oily. Shampooing every morning wit hshampoo formulated (or marketed) for oily hair left my hair looking greasy by evening, and I was too disgusting to be seen in public if I went more than a day without shampoo. Most other teenagers then shampooed daily, though maybe they didn't all need to.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389602137217799305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-58540684510823031992010-08-25T12:34:04.243-04:002010-08-25T12:34:04.243-04:00The black kids in my class who had cornrows?

Don't know if it works, but, since we want to scratch it, maybe scratching it gets it out. <br /><br />I've tried going no shampoo and no deodorant but then my family gets pissed off. I tried to explain that I was waiting for my natural oils to come back but they still just flipped out on me. In fact, my dad said I can't show up in his house anymore unless I "practice good hygiene." <br /><br />How important is washing your hands? I mean, of course in public restrooms and after defecating it certainly makes sense, but to wash them with soap every time you take a piss seems absurd, not to mention the scathing effect it has on your skin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-73854782146623428022010-08-24T18:21:26.983-04:002010-08-24T18:21:26.983-04:00Agreed, Peter; all hail the GNP!Agreed, Peter; all hail the GNP!Will S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02714519301979594160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-41294400100412093882010-08-24T15:09:30.144-04:002010-08-24T15:09:30.144-04:00As much as I rave about that decade, no one did ba...<i>As much as I rave about that decade, no one did babes like the '60s.

There are several scenes showing the girls eating breakfast together, and, to put it mildly, their fare is quite light on carbs. Indeed, these lovelies seems to eat mostly meat and cheese for breakfast.syonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764206921202174601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-28758178176510523112010-08-23T14:25:30.539-04:002010-08-23T14:25:30.539-04:00what if the no-pooie has dandruff? i used to have ...what if the no-pooie has dandruff? i used to have a really itchy flaky scalp until i started using dandruff shampoo. i mean it was serious.<br /><br />there must have been pooless dandruff control in the past. i just don't know what it is.pzedhttp://undeadastronauts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-76110821912443758462010-08-23T13:00:24.085-04:002010-08-23T13:00:24.085-04:00RE: Cynthia Myers,

The decline in beauty will astound you. Heck, I bet that even our esteemed host, no lover of Nordic girls, will admit that the blondes from the 60s PLAYBOY put the current crop to shame.syonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764206921202174601noreply@blogger.com
