Haha, of course I do šŸ˜… ... Well just use volcanic soil, or in German: "Lavaerde" . I've been using this for over a decade. For rinsing, use a splash of unpasteurized apple cider vinegar diluted with water. 1:10 (it's like a conditioner, but without silicones or petroleum derivatives)

It won't foam... but it doesn't have to. And I suggest not to wash hair more often then once a week or even better once a month...

Appreciate this very much. Ordered this Lavaerde. Will give a few tries. I’m currently at 2 hair washes/month. Feels like the right rhythm thus far.

If your hair and scalp are used to shampoos containing silicones and petroleum derivatives, it will take a few weeks to months for them to accept a natural shampoo. Especially with rhassoul clay, you might experience some dandruff or dry hair at first. A vinegar and water rinse should help. Be careful, vinegar burns in the eyes šŸ˜‰

If that doesn't work at all, Aleppo soap would be another option. Ideally, it should contain a high percentage of laurel oil.

I've been using Aleppo soap for a while now but my hair has gotten really thin, flimsy and strainy despite not oiling/fatting up all that much.

I've had a similar experience with Aleppo... šŸ™ˆ

Bin auf die Alternative gespannt!
