Hi - I'm new to LHC, and new to shampoo bars, but really excited about both. All the info/advice on here has been SO helpful! I've been using natural shampoo/cond (no sulphates/silicones) for a while, but still clarified w/baking soda at the beginning (lazy, just added to 1st poo-bar lather). So far, in 2-day intervals (my usual): 1) Chamomile/Citrus, Nettle, 2), 3) Babassu Marsh Mallow, tonight. ACV rinse was already part of my routine, continued. Hair is a bit different w/each bar, but nothing bad so far. With each bar, my scalp has been so happy/comfortable, no itchies on 2nd day. 1st C/C bar left hair very tangly, but better when dry. Used a drop of cond in ACV rinse after 2nd Nettle bar, nice results. No cond after 3rd bar tonight - felt odd/waxy till dry, but full & great now. Yippee! But I have a question about shine ... or lack thereof. I use a 'blow-dry' type hairbrush with pretty sparse plastic bristles - the slight waxy feel when wet feels protective, but makes me wonder if a different type of brush would 'polish' it better, make my hair shinier? Any suggestions? Thanks!
