As I've damaged my hair a lot in the past I cut it really really short and now I'm growing it natural (no more dying) and I've also decided to go the most natural with my shampoos. With my fine hair I've never had a problem removing dirt and grease, never needed anything strong to make it stay clean and I wash it every other day although it can go for two days with no wash if I use a dry shampoo. I've started to make my own castille soap making sure everything is very measured so it's the mildest possible but I find that, for my hair, it leaves a bit of a waxy feeling in the roots (can that be the natural glycerine in real soap?)
After that I tried Dr. Organic Aloe Vera shampoo. I don't use it pure though as I think it lacks silicones and the hair ends up quite rough when wet: I mix equal parts of shampoo and filtered water and a few drops of olive oil. It leaves my hair perfect and no conditioner needed (even in my damaged hair!).
I want to try and do the same mixture using Dr. Bronner's pure liquid castile soap since it has less ingedients (hence I asume milder?). Please, can you let me know, given the ingredients below, which one seems to be better for hair? And am I doing right or by using shampoos without silicones I might be damaging my hair in the long run? I'm not too fond of silicones (they weight my fine hair down a lot and make it more greasy), altough I do use TRESemme heat protectant spray which is full of them but since it's only 1 product I'm ok and it leaves my hair great. So, which one seems to be better for my mixture?
