For my fellow fine hair folks: In one of the early videos she mentioned using aloe instead of oil for the pre-shower routine if you have fine hair and that is 100% my go-to. I found a 100% aloe gel. I comb and boar bristle brush my hair first, then put in the aloe gel and let sit for a half hour before taking my shower. It does dry and harden but easily resoftens in the shower before rinsing out. After the shower, I put one single drop of jojoba oil into my palm and put it on my still-wet ends. I don’t use the clay yet, I’m finishing up an all-natural shampoo bar first. I went to once a week showers almost immediately using this method and it’s made a huge difference. It does get a touch more oily the second half of the week but nothing I think anyone noticed but me. I swear boar bristle brush outs on my scalp has led to all the new growth baby hairs I now sport. I want to add in cornstarch next for the oily half of my week, as well as the clay and ACV. I hope this helps anyone else with my hair type that’s on the journey!

Number one factor in ayurvedic hair care is patience. We are very used to conventional shampoo and conditioner getting it done in minutes. It takes time to use and cleanse natural products from our hair. Once we realize this and set aside time to care for, not "do something" to our hair, the rest is quite easy, rewarding, and relaxing.

My hair was a grease ball for 5 weeks then something happened and it looks shiny and is so much more manageable. As Katherine says we have to adjust her tips to our own hair. I need to make my clay into a cream style paste and coat my entire hair, wrap in plastic and leave for 10-15 minutes then rinse thoroughly or my hair is not clean. I have to careful with adding too much oil as my hair is not as long as Katherine’s. Use your own intuition and take her sensational advice and tips as a guide only. Thanks for your tips and sharing❤

Fine and curly hair here (with daily workouts) 👋 My little twists to the routine: If hair is sweaty, do scalp-only washes. Look it up, saves the lengths of your hair, dries fast. Skip the coconut oil completely. Only use jojoba oil. I loved doing coconut oil treatments overnight but only regular shampoo got it out. The clay doesn’t get it out of my lenghts. Use a shampoo brush when you rinse out the clay from your scalp. Use warm water for the clay wash. It helps washing out the oils. Use cold water only for rinsing out conditioner and maybe ACV (I leave mine in). Brush your hair daily to get all the dust and stuff out that gets in there if you live in a city. It makes your scalp way less itchy. Boar bristle brushes made my scalp feel itchy don’t know why. My scalp has mild psoriasis. But a wooden brush works great. Clean your brushes after every use.

After combing your hair it leaves grease in the brush. If you don’t clean it, it might make your hair greasy next time you use it. But if that doesn’t happen with your brush and your hair, don’t clean it every time, it’s no problem. I mostly finger detangle my hair now anyway and brush it very seldomly with a brush, which makes this problem obsolete.

​@@Sunshine-is_here_to_stay I have fine, curly, thin hair and although my hair loves coconut oil (some hair doesn't do well with it, mine gets extra strong and curly) the clay also doesn't remove the oil from my hair. I'm not looking for the squeaky clean feeling of traditional shampoo, but it looks and feels weighed down and oily. Some hair is just like that with oil and clay. You'll have to experiment with different oils or just Jojoba oil or just know that if you want to treat your hair with an oil mask, you'll have to make choices about how to get the majority of that oil out. For myself, I treat my hair to a thicker oil massage the night before a good wash. I plan to wash with a clarifying shampoo or sometimes a natural shampoo bar. I've decided that the use of the shampoo a few times a month is worth the benefits of the oil. 🤷🏽‍♀️ But maybe you'll think different and that's A-ok! Best of luck as you find your own routine!

Thanks for all your videos! I have fine hair. I stopped shampooing my hair over two years ago and have been following your hair care routine for the last four months. I’ve certainly had to tweak some things like lighter oil washes and generally washing less frequently. I do add oil to my ends almost daily. I exercise daily and water washing seems to do the trick. The rhassoul clay is great. The MSM is incredibly helpful. My hair has never been so long and healthy. I’m obsessed and it feels so nourishing and feminine to take care of my hair this way. I also recently got a scalp massager which I love and use nightly in the shower✨💜

I have fine, somewhat wavy hair (close enough to straight for those wondering) that tends to get greasy easily. I do get sweaty fairly often because I'm in a greenhouse on a regular basis. Some things I've learned 4ish months in: water quality makes a big difference. If you have hard water, you will need to wash your hair more often. We just got our water softener up and running 2 months ago, and I've been able to go from needing to wash my hair once a week to being able to wash about once a month or less. I brush my hair with a boar bristle brush about every other day, and if it's feeling greasy, I rinse my hair in hot water. This only works with soft water. Before we got our water softener, no amount of rinsing would get the greasyness out of my hair. I had to do an entire wash once a week or week and a half. Now, I rinse my hair about 2-3 times a week. If I get sweaty or dirty, I rinse more as needed. My clay wash mixture is about 3 tablespoons rhassoul clay with 1 tsp each manjistha and astragalus root powder (Ayurvedic herbs) in about 3 cups of water. I do 3-4 "washes" with this, then rinse thoroughly. For conditioner, I use about 1/4c goatmilk, 1 tsp raw honey, and 1/8 tsp jojoba oil. I leave this in for about an hour, then rinse thoroughly. Then I do an ACV rinse 3-4 times, leaving it in for a couple minutes each time before rinsing with 1/4c ACV in 3-4c water. I use jojoba and argan oil in my hair as needed, usually just on the ends, but very light amount. If my hair feels dry, I'll add more. I add oil 1-3 times a week, depending on how my hair feels. I added lavender, chamomile, frankincense, and holy basil essential oils into the argan oil I use. I never wear my hair down; it's always in a fairly protective style. I find braids really help my hair hold onto moisture without getting greasy. I have very low porosity hair, so it tends to not hold onto moisture. I do shower pretty much every day because I have farm animals to take care of, as well as a greenhouse. I usually cover my hair when I'm working with the animals. I only get my hair wet when I'm rinsing it. Otherwise I keep my hair pinned up so it doesn't get wet in the shower. At the start of all this, I did need to do a final wash with a clarifying shampoo to get any silicone residue out of my hair.

I have all grey hair, have only been washing my hair every three weeks or so for over two years now using only organic shampoos and conditioners. That right there has helped my hair immensely. Now, and for the last several months, I have been following Katherine’s routine: herbal oil, clay wash and acv rinse, boar bristle brush…the whole process. Note: my hair is very like hers in that it is naturally curly, tends toward dryness and USED TO break at about mid back length. So far I have been very pleased with my results. I have had much growth with less breakage, it is thicker all the way to the ends and is stronger and soft. I opted to use the cassia as I didn’t want to risk henna coloring my grey as I’m quite fond of it 😊. It is true that after 4-5 days my curls are not as pronounced but I don’t mind it. I begin using the bbb after that, as often as every couple of days and until my next wash. If I desire my curls to come back, I spray my hair with filtered water and a bit of essential oil (for scent) and the curls come back-not so much like after a wash day but still quite nice. I use jojoba oil on my ends about every 3 days or so, usually coinciding with (after) a good brushing and misting with water. Now, for the first time in my life, I am feeling the weight of my hair; it is almost to the top of my hips. The historic hair styles are definitely helping with distributing that weight which means I’m not losing any hair around the hairline. Katherine, thank you so much for taking the time to do all the research, filming, editing, answering all of our questions, offering your recipes and sharing your results so we can benefit from your experience. I am 60 this year and have been struggling with my curls my whole life, unable to get growth or health for them. I always wanted to be that long, curly, shiny grey haired woman when I was “of an age”, and that is precisely where I’m headed. Much gratitude to you. ❤

I have tried clay washing and oils, and they have not worked for me. (Fyi, my hair is also down to my hips, so evidently I'm treating it reasonably well.) Recently I tried to "tough it out" for a few weeks, to see if I could get over the hump, but eventually gave up. My hair looked terrible-stiff, less curly, and was very heavy. In my personal experience, the issue is not whether my hair is too fine or not curly enough to use the oils, but rather its POROSITY. I only discovered recently that my hair is extremely low porosity, and that has made a significant difference. When you have hair like mine, your hair is not inclined to absorb oil AT ALL unless it (your hair) is heated, which opens the cuticle. I've found some deep conditioners (low oil, low protein) that work well for me, and I do a heat treatment with them every week or two. I may make a variation of your oil, but with only very light oils, and try that, but I know now that the only chance I have with it is if 1. it's only a little of it, and 2. my hair HAS to be heated to absorb anything. (Fyi, comment edited because YT kept messing up my formatting.)

Dealing with low porosity is my difficulty as well. For years I was frustrated because I wanted to use oil in my hair, but found that even light oils like jojoba and grapeseed would just sit on the surface of my hair and never be absorbed. I dont use any heat on my hair, so for daily use, my solution has been to use a spray of 1 part light oil (moringa is my favorite, but sometimes I also use argan) to 3 parts rosewater. Of course, oil and water don't stay mixed, so I shake up the spray bottle right before each use and spay it mostly on my ends (my hair is thigh length, wavy, and fairly thick). I also have another bottle of just rosewater, which I use as an even lighter moisturizer and also as a sort of hairspray once I've put my hair up. For a prewash scalp treatment, I use a mix of jojoba and moringa, sometimes with a just a bit of castor or coconut oil in it, but definitely not with anything heavier like olive or avocado oil just. These simply don't wash out of my hair. The clay wash also has not worked for me on its own. Every time I've used it, I can never get it to rinse out, and am left with that tacky feeling --- and this is using only using 2 tbsp in 2 cups, and spending an extra 20 minutes in the shower rinsing, rinsing, and rinsing. Apple cider vinegar also does not agree with my hair. I've tried taking the concentration down to 1 tsp in 2 cups of water, and my hair, particularly the ends, would still feel stripped and staw-like. And, at that low concentration it was useless at getting the clay out. Sooo, I have gone back to my shampoo/conditioner bars that I've been using for the past couple of years and absolutely love (Viori is the brand). I have started using the clay about once a month (so about every 3 washes) before I shampoo, I leave it for a couple of minutes to absorb the oil pre-wash on my scalp, then shampoo everything out with the bar. So far, that has worked much better for me.

I was like this too, with extremely low porosity. Since using henna and other Ayurvedic herbs, including fenugreek, it helped to correct my porosity. Also using a water softener system on my house (or a shower head filter) also helped. One of my favorite clays for low porosity hair is Bentonite Clay which detoxes and cleanses really well.

@@AMMCFSES Thanks for taking the time to write out such a detailed response, with a lot of things for me to think about. I've had a similar experience with the clay wash, which is unfortunate, since my skin likes clay. Trying it as a pre-wash sounds like it might be a good compromise. Fyi, I'm not putting a lot of heat on my hair for the deep treatments, just enough to keep it (and me) warm. Usually, I lie down and read for a while and wrap a heating pad around my head. Lastly, I wish I could go that long between washes. I have to shampoo every few days, although sometimes I can stretch it to a week if I don't use any gel. The problem for me isn't so much the oil-I could manage that-but that I need to exfoliate my scalp regularly, as I do with the rest of my skin. My skin is extremely sensitive, and it's taken a long time to find products that work for me...but one thing that hasn't changed is that it just likes a good scrub once or twice a week. The scalp flakes stick to the oil on my hair and won't rinse out on their own, so out comes the shampoo. My skin otherwise is behaving reasonably right now, so I'm okay with this truce, lol.

As a fine, slightly wavy haired gal, I've used chickpea flour as a shampoo for years. It is fantastic at getting my hair clean. The one drawback is I have to have extra rinse time to get the bigger granules out. Then I sprits with rose hydrosol or run a little lavender/cedarwood/carrier oil through the ends. Strengthening and seal in hydration. 😊 Would like to try the rhassoul clay. Sounds great

Fine oily hair pron person here, I have been using your hair care for a three months now and love it. Some of the tweaks I found are I mix my clay a little thicker and let it sit for longer 5-8 min and do that twice my hair took only a few weeks to adjust but I was only washing 2x a week anyway, I'm down to once every 10 days now. My best friend also started this and has similar hair type to mine but hers is short. She only leaves it in for 3-5 min. We both use shampoo bushes to rinse (the one you showed in one of your videos) made a huge difference. My hair is waist length (I've gained approximately 3.5 for inches) since starting this routine, thank you so much!!! Love all your content and much love and luck with baby.

Congratulations on the baby!!! I have one 14 month old. babies are the greatest joy! Also, I experimented with the advice you gave in your previous videos and found my own washing routine. I still am evolving it. My favorite thing though is the rhassoul clay. It makes my hair soooo nice and soft. To get it rinsed out i always rinse well massaging my scalp with regular water THEN i put in acv leave it for a minute or so then rinse again. The ACV helps get all the rest out. That and oiling my hair the night before. One curly hair stylist says coconut oil is great because it's a penetrating oil but I think any oil is better than none because the point is to protects the ends and hair from getting TOO stripped. I have and oily scalp though so I oil the night before and then wash my hair with shampoo twice.

Neutral henna (Cassia Obovata) dyes hair as well, only yellow. I use it to cover the grey in my blonde hair, with a dash of regular henna for warmth of colour. So if you don't want that, do a strand test.

This has been so fascinating reading everyone’s different routines. I have been shampoo free for 2years. I have butt length thick hair that is very fine with a TINY bit of natural wave. My scalp tends to be oily. I wear it up in a no snag French clip or plain platted braid and cover with cotton snood (religious). Literally all I do is a hot water rinse (we have hard water) once a week and a white vinegar rinse followed by warm water once a month. I brush every other day either braiding or using my French clip to keep it up and contained in between. I only do a deep conditioning coconut oil treatment once or twice a year (I have a friend from Hawaii who does it for me when she’s in town). She saturates everything and then French braids it and I leave it in for several days. Then I do the vinegar and warm water rinses as usual. The only struggle I’ve had has been finding the right brush as the oils in my hair tend to stick to traditional plastic brushes and they get gross and start to snag. I recently switched to a plastic bristle brush and it’s been a lot better but I think I’m going to give the boar bristle brush a try. I don’t get split ends anymore and my hair has never been this long or healthy.

Thank you! I am nearly 60 year old female with curly grey hair that never grew back properly post chemo. That's ten years ago. I worked out my hair would shed post stress, and washing too. Found your channel, learnt so much, bought the clay, have tried it once so far and I can tell my hair and scalp is much happier already. Also I use a commercial Argan oil spray every day post brushing with a boar hair brush. After brushing I spray with water and scrunch my hair and the curl springs back. So far that is working. I can see the curl pattern is returning already and not so much hair fall. I am so grateful for your channel and carefully planned videos. Thank you! ...

I started doing your hair care routine this year. I must say the clay wash is very good for my hair. I used to wash it twice a week but with your routine it has no problem going weekend to weekend which works great! I keep my hair up at night and at home and try not to play with it or touch it to keep it clean. My hair is slightly curly and quite fine with dry ends. The oil is very good for my little one's curly hair as detangling was always a pain. 😊

I’ve been on the bandwagon since your first video came out I’ve transitioned to going back and forth with clay washes to soapwort washes. Clay for if my hairs super oily and soapwort for a regular wash. I will use kaolin clay instead of cornstarch.. I’m happy with my boar brush and nightly braiding helps a lot with reducing the chaotic annoyance lol all in all I do feel like it has been improving my hair in terms of less hair fall and less flakiness.. although I’ve now started to try flax gel after my washes so that might be contributing to new flakiness I’m seeing. But still less than before. Anyways I’m stoked to continue this hair care routine even though it takes up a lot more time 😅😅 can’t wait to see the long term results! Many blessings with the new babe 🎉

I have very fine, wavy curly hair and I have had success using homemade oat milk, pressed thru a nutmilk bag, and then as a leave in, I take a tsp of flax seed in just boiled water, and put that into a custard cup and take it up to the bathroom, after my shower, I strain it and use it as a leave in conditioner. And my hair seems to love that. BUT, I think an ideal wash schedule might include alternating clay and oatmilk. I have also used rye flour and made a milk of it too, to wash my hair. I think rotating using the clay/oatmilk/ryemilk wash would perhaps be best over time.

I have below shoulder length silver hair ( My wisdom hightlights I joke about often). Fine & straight, with a combo of dry & oily & dandruff used to always be a problem. I found the solution, sulfer soap!. I wash it every fortnight or longer. It does go through that oil slick moment where it does look manky on it. I just wear it tucked up under a head scarf hat to keep it clean, tangle free & avoid elastic bands. Every night I first use a wooden wide tooth comb & fingers to gently untangle any little knots and then the bristle brush as it distributes the natural oil evenly and eventually it looks shiny and healthy. Before washing I do a oil treatment the night before, braid it up & shampoo the with sulfer soap the next day. I use a just a little oil to comb through especially on the ends. I have found your videos to be wonderful & have taken on a few tips that have been benefical. All the very best for the upcoming birth of your Baby. 🙂

I use rosewater mixed with a little glycerin (maybe about a teaspoon to a tablespoon in an 8 oz spray bottle of rosewater) as a daily leave-in spray for the mids and ends of my hair, between washes--revives my wavy/medium curliness, relieves dryness, restores shine, detangles beautifully. I use castor oil as a pre-wash treatment/conditioner, just on mids to ends. I have white hair (went white very very early), and it begins to yellow when it is dry, or if I use the wrong products. My hair is hip-length, it is fine (actual hair shaft thickness) but medium-thick (bulk of hair growth taken together). I intermittently only do a scalp shampoo (putting the length "up"). I do also use some of the same tips and types of tips you recommend. BTW, I love Melaleuca shampoo (gentle, simple, pure and clarifying).

I have always used Melaleuca Herbal Shampoo. I would use Affinia moisture conditioner, but they changed that formula and now I hate how my hair feels with their products. I'm going to give Katherine's routine a try, modified for thin, straight, oily hair and a very active lifestyle. Thankfully its fall, but in the summer, my hair gets 100 percent sweat soaked 2 times a day on the farm. Not sure how to handle summer with this method.

Hi, fine, oily, hair lady here. I just started to grow my hair out from really short, it's still above my shoulder. I've had this routine of chopping off my hair then growing it out than chopping off again every couple of years so I have some experience in this... I've been using a modified version of Katherine's routine for about two months now. My hair is really soft and shiny and it feels a bit thicker already. I don't have as much dandruff either. I didn't notice any difference in growth rate but my hair has always grown very slowly and my focus was on fighting the oil and dandruff. Brushing: every night and morning I detangle my hair with a boar bristle and nylon brush then brush it out once more with a purely boar bristle brush, then I massage my head a little because it feels sooo good. I have a small bamboo comb that I use to create the part but other than that forget any combs with straight fine hair. Boar bristle+nylon brush is your best friend. I use Katherine's vinegar and water rinse for the brushes every day and wash them with my shampoo bar when I wash my hair. Covering the hair: I put my hair in a turban for the night, satin or cotton shawl. I wash my shawls every time I wash my hair so I always use a clean one on my clean hair. (Silk would be better probably but honestly it's pretty expensive.) It helps my hair stay soft and tangle free. When I work from home I also put a scarf on my hair during the day. That is especially useful if your hair is so short that you can't really do an updo yet. I use two clips to secure the satin shawl because it's pretty slippery. Hair wash: I was my hair about twice a week. Using corn starch overnight can help me drag out the days between washes a little bit, with one or two days. Before washing I put a mix of castor, argan, jojoba, neem and vitamin E oil on my hair. I add some essential oils, e.g. rosemary. (I currently use lavender because I'm out of rosemary and I love lavender anyway lol) After a head massage (again - super relaxing) I leave the oil on for 0.5-3 h, not overnight. I skip this step about once every two months, when I feel like there is too much buildup in my hair because it gets oily too quickly. I've been washing my hair with shampoo bars for at least six years now? I don't use clay at all yet, too much hassle for me currently. Maybe I'll try it though because it's probably really good. For the same reason (too much hassle) I stopped using flex seed gel too but I absolutely recommend it because it makes your hair super soft and shiny. After washing my hair twice with the shampoo bar I put on my conditioner (Biofficina Toscana, I don't know if it's available outside Europe but I'm sure you can find something similar) and leave it on until I wash my brushes with the same shampoo bar I use on my head. Then I rinse it out, then an apple cider vinegar rinse and a cotton shirt for drying. I use a diffuser if I don't have time to air dry. I use a leave in rice water based conditioner (also by Biofficina) and that's it. I don't add any more oils or anything to my hair because it will become super oily super fast. Brushing with the BB+N and BB brush twice a day are the key for conditioning your hair. Hope this helps, love you all, love you Katherine, good luck with the baby 🐥🍼💕

I wanna add that I live in a city with nasty, nasty air quality unfortunately so I don't think it's possible to decrease the hair washing frequency a lot more for me. And the oils I use are ones that were/are on hand for me, adding e.g. fenugreek seeds would probably be great. I have some leftover henna though so I'll add that to my next batch.

I’m not up to a week between washings, but I can now go up to three days between washings. I’ve always been a wash every day person as my hair is fine and prone to be oily, so being able to wait until day three is huge. I am only using a little jojoba oil on my ends while still wet after washing. I use a shampoo bar and an ACV rinse. Putting my hair up has been the biggest thing to help get me longer between washing so far.

I might be one of the few who has 100% natural grey hair here, wanting to get away from ever using commercial shampoo again. Its been about 3 wks and I have only rinsed and used baking soda and water once. I use some coconut oil here and there as well as some deep conditioner on my ends only. So far I can see why this no poo method works and I love it. My hair seems to really like not having heavy chemicals on my scalp. I just got the clay today so I am looking forward to very infrequent washings and light conditioning. I also have decided to use cold air on my hair whenever I blow dry to see how my hair responds overall in about 3 months. I wish I had done all this many yrs ago- its a healthy way to treat your body.

I finally tried spraying my hair with diluted apple cider vinegar. I used 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water and added a few drops of tea tree oil. Normally, my hair looks unwashed by Day 4, but, when spraying my hair and then brushing 100 strokes once dry (I had to repeat this process twice, every day from Day 4 on), my hair did not look or feel unwashed or dirty. If I did this every day after wash day, I might not need to do it twice! I will try cornstarch later to see whether it's best to do each once, or to do ACV twice. My hair is fine and wavy and tailbone length.

I have fine hair. Castor oil works well for me. It closely matches my skins sebum and clogs pores less then jojoba oil. I can use it as a massage before bed and it will sink in really well. Also, a cap full of acv in a 1 liter shaker bottle does well conditioning my hair. 2 caps if my hair is extra alkaline from a shampoo/conditioner bar. I’m able to do this everyday without it drying my ends. Most days that’s all I do is the acv rinse to get the dirt/sweat out.

I have very light colored hair, and I’ve seen no color change at all using your herbal oil recipe on my scalp daily. I have been using all natural, mostly DIY recipes, hair, body and skincare for decades now. I’m always looking for people with similar philosophies of wellness to learn from. I transitioned to clay washing after I discovered your historic hair care videos. My hair has gone from ringlets about the size of my pinky to looser waves similar to yours over the past decade. I’m not sure if that’s due to age or health issues (I have autoimmune issues) but I’ve really been loving how it feels since I began clay washing. I normally washed my hair once a month or once every two months, using all natural ingredients. With the clay washing, I’ve had to increase the frequency to about once every two weeks, but I’m hoping as my hair adjusts I’ll be able to do it less often. I’ve had no problem with rinsing the clay out, but I make it pretty watery. I do oil my scalp and ends daily, but my hair does not feel oily after the clay wash. I often rinse in the tub first, getting as much out if my hair as I can, and then I finish with a cool rinse under the shower. If I do a thorough oil treatment, where I’ve really coated my hair, I’ll clay wash twice and it feels very clean once it dries.

My sisters and I decided to follow your hair tips and I am in love with it! My sister dyes her hair religiously and we subbed the henna for cassia and used rosemary oil in the weekly oil, it turned her hair green, blue and black, but did not effect me at all! I did research and found it was the rosemary oil. So if you dye your hair a light color religiously be careful of the oils you are using! I love your hair tips, the clay cleans my hair wonderfully and I have straight fine long hair. I wash my hair on the sixth day, I cannot go a whole week. Do you have any suggestions to keep your hair smelling good for the whole week?

I have fine blond hair. I used to dye it but it damaged my hair, so I decided to switch to henna. It turned my platinum blonde hair to a vibrant neon green shade. No hairdresser would take me. I used some red colouring shampoo for a while to balance out the green. So yes, now I know not to use henna on dyed blond hair. I use rosemary oil on my natural dark blond hair and it doesn't color it. I put about four drops of essential oil into my coconut oil to treat my scalp.

Thank you for sharing your findings here. This is really great stuff :) Searching through KZfaq and trying to get a better understanding of the topic, I can't help to notice that the majority of women get caught up in "oh my god, it makes my hair so fluffy" and "it smells great" and "I'm mixing all this 50 ingredients into my shampoo to give my hair everything it needs". What I'm missing there is the care to actually understand healthy hair/scalp and deriving a caring system from that. Listening to you, I think you're away ahead of everyone else in this point. Therefore I wanted to ask you something. While I was watching through DIY shampoo recipes on KZfaq, I noticed that 99,9% of them have soap and oils and other stuff in it. I can't help thinking about washing dishes or pans that are oily in this context. The soap takes away the oil and everything else from the dishes.There's nothing left which could be absorbed into the dishes (hair/scalp). Therefore I'm concluding, that adding oil and other things to a soap based shampoo won't do anything to your hair and scalp as the soap simply washes it away. Based on that I believe, that hair and scalp care needs to be approached differently. When I saw your routine of applying oil to the hair and scalp over night first and washing it out the next day and then leaving the hair and scalp alone, I thought this may make more sense. Would you like to comment on my logic that oil and other stuff in shampoo is a waste as soap washes it away anyway? Could you make a video in which you explain steps/pillars of hair/scalp care and in which order and why?

Hi there, I appreciate your line of reasoning but I wouldn't personally agree. I myself have made homemade soap-based shampoos in the past and have included oils as part of the recipe. First of all, soap itself is made from oils or other fats that are combined with lye to turn it into a cleansing soap. When we increase the ratio of oil in the shampoo recipe, we are making a shampoo that, while still cleansing also has heavier moisturizing properties.

Would you feel confident to elaborate even further on this? So far we have established, that moisturising properties remain, they are not "washed away" by soap. What about other ingredients that provide vitamins, minerals, protein/amino acids, stimulate blood flow and block DHT? Do those ingredients have a chance to affect the scalp/hair or are they washed away before they can be absorbed? Ingredients such as fenugreek seeds, rice water, Aloe Vera, coffee, green tea, coconut milk, flax seed gel, essential oils, ... You probably know them all.

I have wavy but very fine hair, so if I dare to use coconut oil, jojoba oil, shea butter or castor oil my hair looks so heavy and oily. My hair loves olive oil for pre shampoo and almond oil to use on daily basis. I use 1/2 cup of ghassoul clay and a cup of water. I do use a hair mask of a natural brand and ACV as well. My hair looks clean 3 days and after that I actually love oily hair hahahaha because hairstyles looks beautiful and I don’t need any extra hair spray. Nope this comment helps!

Trying to find a haircare routine that works for my hair has always been pretty hard, since I have fine wavy/curly hair, but I have a lot of it, so it gets dry and tangled pretty easily, and I don't want to cut the hair growth I already have, so despite it being fine, I still have to use oil a little more often due to the sheer quantity of it, and in order to nourish my curls, my curl pattern due to the length (waist) of my hair, and due to how fine it is easily gets weighed down and loosened. I haven't really been using natural washes as I'm still a student and don't have much time to make my own ingredients, however I was considering starting some rice water washes, and start using rice water conditioners and shampoos, even though sometimes they aren't advised for my hair type as the rice protein that would usually coat the hair could ulteriorly weight down the curl pattern of someone with finer hair, but eh, it already gets weighed down on its own so... It's definitely been a journey especially since I only found out my hair was curly like 2 years ago... I love my hair it has a beautiful colour and texture but my god does it give me SO MANY ISSUES 😂 Also, great way of finding out you have fine hair is if a boar bristle brush can totally detangle it even if you go in with REALLY tangled hair. Was curious about using a goat bristle brush but since I have lots of hair even if it's not thick I feel like it would require a LOT of sectioning to have it work properly

My hair is coarse ah it looks like wires when they fall unto the floor. My daughter has very long waist curly fine hair. I’m constantly on her to oil the ends up. Now she has to cut inches because it’s split up and no one listens to me. If her friend told her she would do it. 😒

@@TracyD2 yesss I oil my ends quite a bit, especially as I'm at the start of my long hair journey, there's a bit of damage to the ends already as I didn't use oils before, and I'll have to gradually cut some split ends for a while, but the lengths of my hair seem to be getting healthier than they were!

Hi! I have straight and fine hair. I been using for my only shampoo, 1 tblp shikakai, 1 tblp amla and 1 tblp of aloe powder mixed with water only. I don't use any conditioner, juste couples drops of almond oil on my ends. I been getting an amazing results from just doing that! One year ago my hair was at my chin now they are below my shoulders. I used to wash my hair every other day now 3-4 days since I started to add aloe powder in my recipe. Good luck!

I'd have one more question, please. Could the use of gair clay be a good way to transition from using shampoo every day to using shampoo not every day. Let's say I washed my hair yesterday and today I'm already shiny around my head and my hair looks oily. I don't want to wash them with shampoo again as I want to rebakance the production of sebum. Would a quick wash/rinse with hair clay just take away the excess oil but doesn't strip the scalp of all the sebum?

My hair is in a very deplorable state after the loss of my dad. I tried to wash my hair with a mix of henna amla and some other Indian powders, I also rinsed the fenigrik with a decoction after washing, but this dried out my already dry and short hair that did not grow at all. herbs, all my towels, bedding and nightgowns, everything was yellow, and my fingers were yellow too. Maybe the oil will change the situation? or also dye? my hair is dark blond

Thank you for such amazing information about hair care! I tried the clay wash for the first time today (I mixed 1/4 cup of bentonite clay with 2 cups of mineral water). I was surprised that the two did not really mix. The clay remained as particles in the water and would quickly sediment. I mixed it again with a plastic spoon but the same happened. Is that normal? I was expecting the clay to dissolve in the water and make the water muddy rather than seeing the water and clay separate? I would highly appreciate your advice 🙂

not bentonite, rassoul clay. bentonite will harden to cement when dry

Hi there, I found that I lost a lot of hair after washing out my hair after using the clay. My hair is baby fine and it did not take out the oil so I had to wash it again with Olaplex. I have been using Olaplex for 1 year now and my hair has grown 3.5 inches with almost no hair fall. Understandably I was a bit worried when all this hair came out after untangling it when I had finished the clay wash. Is this normal.?
