I started using CV shampoo bars a little over a month ago, with mixed results. My hair did NOT like the Herb Garden, but LOVES the Butter Bar. Right now, I am trying the Coconut Milk bar, and am having some issues with it.
I love shampoo bars since I can now go about 3 days between washes (which, in 100+ degree Alabama summer, is impressive), but I can only use the bars with no added scent (since strong scents trigger both migraine and asthma symptoms in me).
I've done ACV rinses (we have hard water), and my hair always seems to feel great, with lots of slip, WHILE THE ACV IS ON MY HAIR. As soon as it's rinsed, my hair feels squeaky again. My current issues is serious canopy frizz. In fact, my hair doesn't really settle down and look "normal' until about 24 hours after I wash with a shampoo bar.
I tried oiling with coconut oil after my last wash, once my hair was 95% dry. All that did was leave the back of my hair feeling MORE sticky and like doll hair. I already know that my hair prefers oiling to protein (which is why I won't be trying the Honey, Beer, and Egg), but I've never had my hair feel like this. It is nearly impossible to detangle, and I have actually considered trying Kimberlily's detanger/frizz spray to see if that helps.
Any advice? Does anyone else have the frizz issue? I have looked through the huge shampoo bar thread, and will go ahead and tell you that I do lather multiple times, use an ACV rinse, and rinse with cool water. I HOPE that this is just a case of my hair REALLY not liking the coconut milk bar.
