Coconut And Lychee Shampoo

[albaqwerty]

the scent is really nice, however, it made my hair look like the outside of the coconut.

Got no idea about the lychee though :-D

[lady-janine]

so you're not a natural blonde?

[Brinjal]

Probably got a small pip somewhere.

[lady-janine]

is that the tousled look or the "I've just fallen out of a tree" look?

I wouldn't get to carried away with the "natural" ingredients. Shampoos are just detergents, with some colour and fragrance added, all put into a pretty bottle.

[Slapshot]

Well Mikey you're wrong again........ Some of the better shampoos are very organic containing a number of natural soaps and other nutrients, some of the stuff my wife buys for her clients is not just detergents in a fancy bottle.... at £50+ a go it better not be!! The more you get into that sort of stuff the more expensive it gets, the more natural it gets

LOL - hair looks like a coconut

at least you are not shy about it, alba


(coconut shy)

[Svejk]

how much did you shell out for that, alba?

[gingejbee]

Slapshot: "natural soaps and other nutrients"? There's nothing natural about soap...it's made by boiling oils and fats with sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and is useless in hard-water areas....and, what exactly are "nutrients" going to do to hair? It's already dead!

Albaqwerty...I am sorry but Alberto Balsam is made very close to where I live here in Swansea. Its made in a chemical factory and its all chemicals, with some colour and smell added. Does anyone really expect that this is made by squeezing coconuts and lychees into a plastic bottle !

Slapshot......I don't care how much you wife has paid...its far too much money !

[mikey4444]

By the way. its on sale in my local Co-op for 99p.

[Slapshot]

I don't know what they do or use but some women are willing to shell a fortune on hair stuff, whether it make it smoother, sleeker, shinier adds moisture, takes it away..... god knows.... however, I do see some of the stuff she sells on and I remember making soap in school 5th year chemistry, Castor oil & ethanol, boil mix through sodium or potassium hydroxide, bleed off the water produced and the generally glycerol by product then heat the soap curds and reprecipitate with a simple salt solution ... sounds about right.

Straight soaps and detergents can do what they suggest but people want extraxcts orf this and that in their soaps becaiuse the believe the work. Old style natural remedies meets science if you like.

Do things cheap cheeky bit of a simple liquid soap drizzle in your favourite esters for smell, Methyl benzoate will get you the Ylang Ylang scent without the expensive natural plant extracts. Natural additions to these products rather than cheaply manufactuered chenmicals makes them more expensive and a great deal off difference to women who use them........

[mikey4444]

I agree slapshot, so why waste £50 ?

I sometimes use Alberto Balsam, as it smells nice and its very inexpensive. Its so cheap that you can use it as bath bubbles as well. Sometimes when my Yorkshire Wolfhound rolls in something horrible, I can use it on him as well ! But I am not taken in with the use of the word "natural" There is nothing natural about shampoos.
