My aunt washed her beautiful, bouncy, healthy hair with Dawn dishwashing detergent, and it stripped all of the natural moisture out of her hair, and no number of conditioning and hot oil treatments could bring it back. It just had to grow out, and as it grew, she clipped off the damaged ends. I just want to caution everyone against washing their hair with dish soap.

It looked absolutely georgeous in the TV commercials and in the plastic tube, but it made my hair look like straw. Like one of the other posters, my hair started to look like hair instead of straw when I switched to sulfate-free shampoos. Both SLS and ammonium lauryl sulfate were extremely drying for my fine wavy hair. SLS & ALS are detergents. In fact you can use SLS shampoos to take the grease out of shirt and blouse collars. Pour a small amount on, rub in with fingers or fingernail brush & wash as usual. I remember Prell.
