Use Dawn for Very Oily Hair

By Susan Workman (Guest Post)

And when I told people at work that I used Dawn for my shampoo they thought I was crazy. But let me tell you, I used to wash my hair with regular oily shampoo and by that aftertoon my hair was oily. When I used Dawn, it worked. It is nice to know that I am not the only one using this product.

This also strips the natural oil from your hair, and is not good to use all the time.

If you have dandruff use JOY Lemon Fresh dish soap. The lemon in the Joy Dishsoap balances the ph and floats the dandruff away and cures it. Compare to $8.00 a small bottle of dandruff shampoo.

I have very sensitive scalp and cannot find ANY shampoo that doesn't make pimples and itching on my head. Out of any shampoo one day I used Dawn Ultra and shampooed twice. Itching stopped and pimples went away. Most likely won't be throwing good MONEY away any more. It's Dawn Ultra for my shampoo now.

I agree the Dawn is a good product to treat your hair problem. We once had an older neighbor who washed her hair in Tide all the time. She had no yellow color to her snow white hair. Beautiful.

It's not a silly idea, when I was in cosmetology school I learned Dawn was the best way to remove oiliness or greasy styling products from customers' hair. We would shampoo with it once, then shampoo with a shampoo for oily hair, then condition with a light moisturizing rinse-out conditioner. Concentrate the shampoo, especially the Dawn, on the scalp more than the ends, and the conditioner more on the ends, and maybe not at all on the 2-3 inches near the scalp. Speaking of shampooing critters with Dawn, it is also used by wildlife groups who wash critters that have been victims of an oil spill. By the way, if the oiliness of your hair has only gotten worse fairly recently, perhaps a medical consult and hormonal tests would be in order?

I forgot about the vinegar rinse for your hair. You don't rinse out the final vinegar rinse. You pour or squirt it on & dry your hair as usual. It kills the candida, which causes all kinds of skin problems.

First off, dawn dish soap is mostly sodium hydroxide & using it all the time, is not a good idea. And anyone who has really oily hair, has an over growth of candida. The dawn will not cure it. You can look up about candida on the net. There hundreds of website about it, but www.earthclinic.com is one of the best. What I did for my hair, which was very oily, I did what I could for candida, & used white vinegar as a rinse like hair conditioner. Try first off, a 15% vinegar solution. That's roughly 1&1/2tbsp vinegar, with 8&1/2tbsp water, or 1-1/2 oz to 8-1/2oz. It stops itchy scalp, dandruff, scaly scalp & skin & rashes of all kinds. Between washings, when my scalp itches, I use straight white vinegar. It only takes a little, but you must let it dry, before it starts to work. Candida is an insidious thing.

Dawn is a saver in more ways than one. I used to live on a boat, and after filling the fuel can for the dinghy, I always would get a fuel slick on the ocean. A little one, but non the less fuel. I would squirt Dawn all over it. and presto... gone!

By no means am I comparing you to a feline. The other evening I stayed up late because I wanted to finish one of my knitting projects. I turned on the TV and watched a cat show on PBS. One of the segments on the program showed a woman bathing her cat in Dawn dish washing liquid because his coat was so oily. Then she followed up with shampoo.

I had to laugh because by the time she finished rinsing him off well in the shower the poor thing looked like a drowned rat. We know how much cats hate water, but he was probably so used to it since he was always before the judges.
