Since the op is thanking God in this thread, I'll explain a little about the science of hair care products...
Proctor and Gamble makes shampoos and conditioners.
They invent new products that while appearing to care for your hair, really just dry your hair, and damage it.
The Bible tells us how to care for our hair, with oils and ointments...
Psalms 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Ecclesiastes 9:8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.
Matthew 26:7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
Ecclesiastes 9:8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.
.Psalms 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Psalms 89:20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
Psalms 92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Ezekiel 16:9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
In fact, when Daniel was on a vision quest, he didn't use any oil on himself at all, for three whole weeks!
Daniel 10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Until the 70's everybody oiled their hair. Byrlcream, Dippity Doo, Afrosheen, etc.
Then "The Handler" shampoo was invented...
The commercials stated, "The Wet Head Is Dead!" "The Dry Look Is In."
Not long after that, there were commercials concerned with "Frizzies."
And hair conditioner got popular.
The shampoos and conditioners we buy in stores are full of petroleum products and alcohol that dry and eat our skin and hair.
Auto mechanics buy special soled shoes, to prevent petroleum products from eating the soles of their shoes.
Sure, conditioners advertise "wheat germ oil," "lanolin," "jojoba oil," etc.
But there's not enough of those oils in store bought hair conditioners to prevent your hair from drying and tangling.
Why?
Because the scientists who work for Proctor and Gamble get paid to sell hair products.
They don't get paid to care for your hair!
In order to achieve the right balance of "Frizzies" and shiny hair, the scientists who make hair care products for Proctor and Gamble need to test their products on animals, torturing them, with alcohol and petroleum based products in their eyes...
There's no need or excuse for torturing monkeys just to see how much damage shampoo and hair conditioner can do to our eyes.
There's also no excuse for these words to be on a bottle of shampoo, except to sell twice as much shampoo as we need...
"Lather, rinse thoroughly, repeat."
The shampoo recipe I gave you, only requires one application.
Stop buying manufactured shampoos and conditioners: they cost more, and don't work as well.
Save money, and make your own body care products, which work better.
Natural oils keep your hair healthy, and won't allow it to tangle.
Mild doses of baking soda and vinegar are all the "chemicals" you need to clean your hair properly; and the oatmeal soothes your skin.
The shampoo recipe I provided feels good on your skin, and works as a deodorant soap too.
I make my own hair conditioner and sunscreen too from natural oils.
Coconut and olive oil are around 8 spf.
Wheat germ oil I think is 25 spf.
Carrot oil and hazelnut oil are high in spf.
Raspberry oil is 45 spf.
Jojoba is around 10 spf and one of the closest oils to what our body produces.
Glycerine draws moisture from the air into your pores, that's closest to reproducing our sweat. It doesn't give spf protection; but the moisture it draws from the atmosphere is good for your skin and hair.
The different viscosities and dyeing properties will help you figure out what works best for you.
All of that stuff I just recommend is edible.
By not using shampoo or hair conditioner made with alcohol and chemicals... and only using natural oils in my hair, my hair isn't tangled, and I don't know where my comb is.
I raise registered American Bulladors, and train them as service dogs.
They're 1/2 Lab and 1/2 American Bulldog.
The American Bulldog's mom was imported from New Zealand; but he was too tough (he beat up every dog he saw for 12 years) so I bred him to a Labrador Retriever.
They carry saddlebags.
They're large, 70-90 pounds, strong and gentle.
My neighbor's PitBull ran up on my boy. My dog just looked at him; and the Pitbull ran home crying.
They come in white with black spots, black with blue eyes, brown brindle, and black brindle, and some have Lab colors with nice markings...
They can run beside my bike all day, and my boy launchs off a 15 foot wall into the ocean for a stick for hours, before he wants to stop.
They love my cats! and my cats love them!
My last batch of kittens was born under my bed, with two dogs to help keep them clean.
I live so far in the forest, nobody can see my house without Google Earth; and I can't see anybody's house from my house, or the road in front of my house.
I let anybody talk to me; but I only want to date a woman who lives within 20 miles of me.
I have a simple lifestyle, offgrid, only solar power, with over 1/2 my land dedicated to the natural forest, an organic garden, and only rainwater to drink; and I'm not moving or getting a job: so I'd like to find a woman who lives like I do, but doesn't need to live with me. That probaly means she'd have to live within 10 miles of me.
I probably have the hardest list to fill; but, that doesn't mean I won't at least talk to somebody I'm not interested in dating.
I have some old friend's here; and I enjoy an occasional message from them: but I doubt we'll ever meet.
When a culture thinks they're advanced, they often wipe out more advanced cultures through the same genocidal views you've expressed.
We've killed off the people who could make Stonehenge, the pyramids, the Aborigines who can thrive in the most hostile environment, native Americans who knew how to live in harmony with our planet, Have Hawaiians who were the best sailors on earth... in exchange for GPS systems, and nuclear power plants.
But, European culture was never superior to other cultures. Europeans were too stupid and superstitious to learn from other cultures, and as treacherous as Cain.
I live in Hawaii, the melting pot of the melting pot. We respect each other's cultures, and learn from them.
It doesn't compromise my culture, to allow somebody to speak their own language. It expands my culture to learn other people's languages.
There's know it all European's here who feel superior to everyone: and they're willing to kill anybody who questions them; but that sense of superiority makes them inferior to people who can communicate as equals, from different cultures.
I pretty much recovered from my strokes. I had to learn to roll joints again; but now I can roll as perfect and fast as ever.
I thought I'd have to give up all my musical instruments; but I kept on doing piano exercises, and got my ability to play them back.
My last stroke made me forget my Daughter's face; which I didn't realize, until she recently told me; but my I remember her clearly now; and every picture I ever had of her is still in my memories.
I tried not to tell anybody; but all the vomiting gave me away, and I had to tell my girlfriend.
I didn't tell my children, or anybody else.
I still feel bad about it; because my friend died while I was going through it, and kept asking me for help: but I wouldn't let him know why I couldn't help him more.
In the event of an Emergency, and I've had three strokes... I don't plan on allowing anybody I know to find out, or visit me.
I love my children, too much to want their last memory of me be in a bed.
Besides, that's the time I need to be alone with God.
