That's something to think about, Sue. I really do like the way the shampoo bar makes my hair feel -- when it's dry -- the first day (especially considering that I didn't need to use additional styling products), but the build-up was just too much.

Kris, we use something they sell here in Japan called "soap shampoo". It is in liquid form, but I am sure it is very similar in make up to the one you are reviewing. I avoided it for a long time because of that strange "coated" feeling. My husband likes it fine as is, though.

As long as I don't over do the vinegar I don't wind up smelling too much like a salad :-)! The vinegar also seems to bring out the red in my hair, which is an added bonus.

Thanks for sharing! I'd love to support a homeschooling family as well as the all natural aspect. I'm going to go check out their site.
