Dear Janet, I would be interested in your soap recipe too. You may

send it to me off line.

TIA, Bee

It's very fine and prone to split ends. What works for me is not

over-shampooing. I don't wash my hair any more than 2 times per

week. First of all - it takes forever to comb out when it's wet -

and second - it wears it out. When I do wash it - I have found a

wonderful shampoo and conditioner (Organics by Natures Gate:

http://www.levlad.com/branded/organics/ngoindex.html) that does not

weigh my hair down. This helps it to stay clean longer - and talk

about shine! My daughter uses this brand too, and she use to have to

shampoo every day - very greasy hair. Now she's only shampooing

every 2-3 days. We have both noticed that we have very few split

ends since using Natures Gate, and I rarely need to have my hair

trimmed anymore. I do use coconut oil when I get the time - glop it

on and put a shower cap on to let it set awhile. Usually 10-15

minutes will do. Then wash and condition as usual.

good if not better than the Natures Gate but I haven't had time to

make them lately. I have the recipe if you're interested. Oh, don't

overbrush your hair either unless you're using a natural bore bristle

hair brush - that's so hard on it.
