I have to make a comment here too about shampoo. I did not discover this on my own. Do you get those little bumps on your scalp froom shampoo--or maybe it is the conditioner? Wet your hair! Baking soda and a little water in a cup--put this in your hair getting to the scalp. Let it sit a little bit and then rinse out. It is amazing! I sometimes put a little conditioner only on the ends of my hair but not always. I shampoo every day and sometimes I do the shampoo just because I am so used to it I think but really no need. Let me know if any of you try it and like it. Maybe I should put this out on reg. message as OT.
