AAA+! Amazing! Awesome! My hair is thick, coarse and curly. I've always had problems with buildup and have found some products that help but nothing like this! I feel like I have normal hair now! My husband even mentioned how nice my hair looked today and I didn't even really fix it. He said it looked ALL BOUNCY. Feels great, too. I followed directions and also added the cup of water/tablespoon of vinegar mix afterwards and before conditioning. I think that step would have been easier in the sink though. Thank you so much for this--I will be using it again!

My hair looks and feels so much better after using this. I kept it on for about 5mins and now I feel as if I have got my own hair back - all the product buildup had really changed the texture. This is great, will use it all the time.

Yes! A seasoned hairdresser told me about that. She warned not to leave it on for more than 4 minutes. Rinse well and follow with a final rinse of 1 cup or so of water mixed with a dash of vinegar, to correct the acid balance. I had just done that and was shopping when an elderly gent approached me and said "There is a lady with beautiful shiny hair. We never see that anymore."

This was a great idea for clarifying shampoo. I just have a warning for those of you who have highlighted hair, this recipe may take out some of the color. I had some auburn highlights before using this recipe, they turned light brown (i.e. lost the redness) after using the recipe. They still look nice, but they aren't the same as before. My hair is wonderfully soft now though.
