Dr. Bronner's Shampoo

[Ali]

If you use Dr. Bronner's Shampoo, which one do you use?

I'm getting some this week and am interested to know what you use

The one that smells like almonds......I have a bottle in my shower and I use it to wash my hair, face and all over....it makes my skin dryer, so I have to use a body lotion...............

Thanks. I have ordered the Citrus Conditioning Hair Rinse to see how I go with that. Do you use as is or do you have to 'rinse' with something else afterwards?

Do they make special shampoo or do you just use the regular Dr. Bronners?

Someone left a comment on Kevin Gianni's site w/this company that makes all natural shampoo bars - sounded kind of interesting too.

I was using Burt's Bees but I just found out they are owned by Clorox - kind of takes the fun out of it :)

I found the Dr. Bronners to be too drying for me...the liquid and the bar. Right now I have a huge bottle of the Sensitive style....I think it works well when mixed together with other ingredients (I have used it in the past in a toothpaste recipe, detergent, etc.)

I have very curly hair that needs lots of moisture and Dr. Bronners is too drying for my already dry hair.

I can't use Dr. Bronner's. It leaves the most AWFUL residue on anything it touches. I'm sure it's our water.

My chiropractor told me he started using the soap for his shampoo and where he lives (different town) it doesn't leave a residue, but in his office in the town I live in, it does.

Does anybody else have that problem?

I use Dr. Bronner's Almond or lavender. I also find it too drying, so I use a different organic shampoo daily, but use Dr. B's once a week to rid my hair of any build up. I have not noticed any film/residue from Dr. Bronner's on anything. I also use a body and face lotion to combat the dryness. Often I will not use it on my face.. seems to strip too much of the normal oils from my skin and I will get itchy.

I had the same experience. I have naturally dry skin, and it just made my skin drier. I love it as a detergent, though.

Same here I really get a residue in my shower.

I use Dr. Bronner's liquid (the unscented one) on my hair, but no conditioner, and I only have to wash my hair about twice per week. No residue.

I use the Peppermint Dr. Bronner's soap bar, and I love it. I have used the liquid peppermint soap, dilluted, to clean just about anything in the house. I'd love to try their shampoo too.

I've never had a residue....just so squeaky clean that I couldn't move my hands through my hair without feeling like it is going to break! I used it again after responding to this post, since it had been a while....same results.
