How does this work on hair? I have long, straight, Caucasian hair and am looking to an alternative to my current "no poo" regiment.

I use it to wash my hair, and the soap (I dilute mine) alone leaves my hair feeling straw like. Even conditioner didn't help. Then I rinsed my hair with apple cider vinegar. The straw like feeling disappears and my hair feels SUPER clean and easily comb-able. You don't realize the residue that is left on your hair after using regular shampoo and conditioner, until you use this. I will never go back.

I have used it several times on my hair, usually in the summer when my hair has more oil due to sweating. No problems with it and I think you will be pleased when you use it. My hair is very fine and curly and Doc Bronners seems to give me more body in the limp days of summer!

I like it full strength on my (Asian long straight) hair followed by conditioner. It keeps the greasy hair look away for several days... I also don't shampoo everyday.

Straight Castile soap is not so great on hair. The soaps ph level is around 9.5 and hairs natural ph needs to stay somewhere between 5 an 7...... However when mixed with natural aloe Vera gel, and coconut milk it lathers nicely and rebalances the ph levels while still keeping your hair chemical free! Hope this was helpful!

Shampooing hair is one of the uses listed. On Dr. Bronner's website, they advise that if you use this on your hair, to follow with a more acidic rinse, such as their conditioner or a much diluted Apple Cider Vinegar/water or Lemon/water mixture (1 tablespoon APC to 1 cup water) then rinse with plain water.

I use it to make no poo shampoo. It doesn't suds like traditional shampoo. In liquid form it has to be refrigerated or you can make powdered version but I find that's kinda messy every time it's used. I boil mine in 2c water add xanthan gum and then add a few drops choice EO. Refrigerate for upto about 2wks. My hair has grown ALOT since I've used it. About 11 months ago I had very short pixie haircut and now my hair is almost right above my tush in length and thicker. I can't promise this will happen for everyone but it worked for me. I also use soap berries for laundry. Some use it as a hand soap or to wash dishes with. I use it to make no poo shampoo. It doesn't suds like traditional shampoo.

I am caucasian, I use just a few drops on my scalp and about a dime size amount on my ends. My hair is shoulder length and thick and curly. I would say experiment with it, I have really dry hair so I use a bit more depending on how dry my ends are. It is mostly coconut oil so it isn't a heavy oil at all. :)

I'm honestly not sure- how long/short is your hair? I can find out how well it works on medium length hair from my friend and let you know if that helps at all :)?

After using this I have tried 2 other shampoos and conditions you can found at any general store (Target, Wal-Mart, etc) for hair loss, but I unfortunately have not found anything that helps. The bald spot keeps on getting bigger, it is hard to say if the products themselves are bogus or if my hair loss has some sort of other factor to it, I have not seen a doctor about it or anything. I do however, make sure to do exactly as the directions say to use them.

I think it was originally created for African American hair, but it works great on my extremely fine, thick, naturally wavy, very dry Caucasian hair. I'd get the moisturizing conditioner to go with it. I think it works as well as Bumble & Bumble Invisible Oil shampoo and conditioner, and it's a whole lot less expensive. Hope that helps.

Mine works great. It does not take long at all. My hair has natural wave it is not curly but yes it works great.

I had the exact same problem and this one really works, plus the curls are made five times as fast as when you use a straighter! When it comes down to it, it all depends on your hair, but I personally found that this worked so much better.

It won't make your hair poofy. It will probably just add wave/slight curl to your hair.

My hair has been straight most of my life but since my daughter was born airs been getting waiver. All I can say is this shampoo seems to bring out that wave and body more than anything else I've used. Since you don't need conditioner with it your hair isn't weighed down.

It helped me! My hair usually gets really greasy after 3 days (I have curly hair so I don't wash daily) but since using this, I haven't had any problems at all! I was actually shocked at how the ends of my hair were moisturized but my scalp was still clean and normal. Everyone's body is different though, all I can say is give it a try! :)

I have long hair too. my hair is almost touching my butt :) I bought BIO IONIC StyleWinder..... but I almost never used it... it works fine, but I wanted big curls. If you want big curls, I recommend this one! Conair Xtreme Instant Heat Jumbo And Super Jumbo Hair Setter with Super Clips, Amazon Exclusive, 12 countThis makes your hair very pretty with big curls :) and is very very easy to use

I can't imagine this not working on any type of hair as it really grips the strands gently and distributes natural oils throughout for a healthier sheen. It's great for the scalp as well, although you will feel it as the bristles are strong. I have had mine for many years and it is still like new. I use it mainly after washing my hair to get the tangles out.. I have used nothing better at this... it's far less abusive to wet hair than anything I have ever tried... I also use it for the day after to distribute the oils.. but I don't use it after applying any serums or anything so the bristles stay like new. I have semi straight, fairly thick long hair also and I love it.

Well Brandon, as a past user of this product I do not recommend it. I saw no improvement in my hair's length. Plus the scent of the shampoo & conditioner was not pleasant. Biotin pills is probably the best way to get longer stronger hair.

I am not Hispanic, yet I share your pain of the fro. With a little of this product you can weigh it down to give a messy quiff hairstyle. Then with a decent amount you can get a perfect slicked back look, a pompadour, or comb over side part. Definitely give it a try!
