I agree as to the harshness of some older items. Wasn't lye an ingredient of old-time soaps?
On the other hand, unfortunately, these days, there are ingredients in various personal care products that are carcinogenic. I used to know a site that listed things. I remember sodium laurel sulphate (in most shampoos) being problematic; in fact I'm pretty sure it was linked with lowered sperm count...I remember years ago thinking of my son when I read that.
As to just rinsing our hair....I can believe it about the actual hair, but I wonder about our scalps & the oiliness. If I'm feeling really down & my hair isn't getting washed very often as a result :-(( my scalp gets an oily smell.
Then I know ........OK Kath; you're not doing great!!
I'd be interested to know how the friend who just rinsed their hair found their scalp was??
