Not only do I have Leo Rising but I also have fine, curly hair with oily roots…not washing is just a NO-GO, although I do wait about two days between each wash. And hey, a lot of Lush hair products have none of that SLS crap and work a treat, plus I feel much better using them on my body than some creepy chemically shite. The only product I use besides the cleaning stuff is a little no-frizz goop to help my curls look nice, and I air-dry it…I’m low maintenance Leonine but still proud of my mane.

Well, before my dreds went in I spent weeks washing my hair with pure soap to strip off the layers of filthy product. I believe the flaking and greasy scalp is also like a detox, a shedding of layers of the stuff. Then, presto! clean scalp n clean dreds for 3 years. I love my hair, it’s full of stories… beads, tiny stones, bits bound with wool n ribbon. The beach is the best treatment… salt water does it the world of good. But I haven’t been for over a year; my hair doesn’t smell and it rarely sees water of any kind lol.
My flatmate shaved her head 3 times and her hair grew back thick n lustrous n coppery waves. No shampooing for 3 years, and just the very occasional pure soap wash. Finger-brushing only. Lovely. She’s a saggo.
Fully agree re the animal proteins making stinky. I don’t smell now unless I have a coupla drinks or sum other sin lol. Here’s a trick: boil bicarb in water and decant into small pump-spray bottle. Effective, safe, odourless. Cheap.

Scorp, cap moon, leo mid.

Have dyed my hair ever since I discovered my 1st grey lock at the tender age of 15 and was mighty horrified. Grandma on mum’s side was silver at 30… So I suppose it means my brains are fried by now…. ah well..

Peeps mistake me for a Leo – used to have the Leo mane in in the 80’s a la Tina Turner – I have some funny stories about that.

Chopped all the hair off after my divorce 13yrs ago. Have progressively chopped it off ever since. Now sporting a very short red textured mane which is instantly recognizable and so easy to look after and only requires product for definition…

The only washing my hair undergoes is when at my stylist – every 6 weeks to keep the cut amazing. I “wash” my hair only with running water every 2nd day. Don’t even need conditioner.

Would love to have it shaved off totally one day, (Gi Jane – oh yeah!) just to experience the feeling and grow it out a few centimetres to see what colour my hair really is…

Also love wearing wigs out to parties – have lots of fun with that!

Mystic – I love the pic – and yes fluid feline – reminds me of a Dr Seuss character!

give him some zinc! the stink should go away. :p if it’s not the zinc it may just be “hunger breath” from not eating very much. People who are fasting or doing that F-Atkins diet thing have funny smelling breath.

My friend did the no hair washing thing for a while – she used to just get it wet under the shower every morning, and then once a week she’d put a little bit of conditioner on it. No shampoo. Then she’d blowdry it. It looked really good, but then her hair looks great whatever she does with it. She’s a Gemini.

I on the other hand will do whatever it takes to wash my hair every single day, even if it means sticking it under a cold tap. Virgo, Leo rising.

But I did recently swap from anti-perspirant (i.e. supposedly stops you sweating) to plain deodorant (just makes it smell more pleasant) and was amazed to find it made hardly any difference – I was expecting massive sweat patches!

So my sun sign is Leo and I did the no poo thing for a few years – I also had dreadlocks. Apparently my hair didn’t smell. Since I cut my dreads off, I only wash my hair about once a week, more because I went to the hair dresser, they used shampoo and then after that my scalp started feeling itchy… But yes – maybe will go back to No Poo method…

Yes! My daughter woke to me on this post. As a seven year old, she couldn’t have been happier to see that “Llama in a wig” and the words “NO POO”. Thanks for the giggle!

Mystic, please tell, what is that a picture of – a camel makeover, electrocution, or some kind of strange Ilama? Reminds me of Dr Seuss character

Hey postmodscorp, seem to be honing in on your comments tonight. Not sure why. I too have voluminous thick hair which defies description at times. But I do the ghd straighteners just about every day. Could not do the no wash thing…. uuurgh shudder. I’m with you on the everyday thing, too much maintenance, however I do go there in the humid summer months as, well, a Leo, I have hair standards, and shit hair = wasted day

I use a de Lorenzo treatment (which I buy in bulk from hairdressing wholesaler) instead of conditioner ’cause of the ghd use. De Lorenzo is Aussie made and natural (according to my hairdresser). Every 6 – 8 weeks I get two to three colours of 3/4 head of foils done by my little hairdresser Leo sis at home at product only prices. Leo sun, Pisces rising.
