  • Does main and tail shampoo/conditioner work?

    I just bought main and tail shampoo and conditioner because my hair just got bleached like 2 weeks ago and i want my hair to grow longer. Does any one else use this brand? tell me your experiances. please and thank you 1000x!! any tips on ways to use it would be great to! =)Does main and tail shampoo/conditioner work?
    To grow your hair faster? No. It doesn't work. It's just a shampoo that was once used for Horses, and now, apparently, made one for humans. It makes some people hair smooth, or dry. But it doesn't grow hair thicker, or faster.Does main and tail shampoo/conditioner work?
    mane and tail is a shampoo originally made for the mane of a horse.


    it has much stronger conditioning properties than a normal shampoo, because a horses hair is much more coarse and thick than any humans.


    it will not help your hair grow longer, contrary to popular rumor. Nothing will. The only way to help your hair grow healthier, is to take care of it. Keep your ends trimmed to avoid splitting and breakage, and avoid heat products.


    use a clarifying shampoo only once a month to keep extra dirt out of your hair and don't over comb it.


    mane and tail will help keep your hair nice and soft, definitely.


    you use it just like a regular shampoo.


    lather, rinse, repeat, condition. the repeat is very important (which most people avoid) becuase the first wash removes dirt, while the second wash actually cleanses the shaft.
    depends on your hair


    i have thin hair and it makes my hair greasy


    so i wash with mane and tail once a week


    and use some other shampoo like pantene


    my hair seems to be getting thick and growing

    Should my shampoo and conditioner be the same brand?

    Should my shampoo and conditioner be the same brand for the best results?Should my shampoo and conditioner be the same brand?
    Honestly it doesn't matter. They advertise on the back of the shampoos ';use our conditioners for better results!'; because they want you to buy their products.





    And sometimes while the shampoo is great the conditioner can be bad - I love using Herbal Essences but the volumising conditioner that was supposed to 'go' with the shampoo really didn't work and only made my hair hard to manage.Should my shampoo and conditioner be the same brand?
    IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER

    Where can I buy Silkience shampoo and conditioner?

    I get it at my pharmacy.

    What did people use before shampoo and conditioner?

    you can say SOAP, but you have to say what was in it and how it was made.


    i also want to know what they used in different placesof the world.


    this question was inspired by Yura of the Demon Hair, from InuYashaWhat did people use before shampoo and conditioner?
    heres your homework answer








    The earliest known evidence of soap use are Babylonian clay cylinders dating from 2800 BC containing a soap-like substance. A formula for soap consisting of water, alkali and cassia oil was written on a Babylonian clay tablet around 2200 BC.





    The Ebers papyrus (Egypt, 1550 BC) indicates that ancient Egyptians bathed regularly and combined animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts to create a soap-like substance. Egyptian documents mention that a soap-like substance was used in the preparation of wool for weaving.





    It is commonly reported that a soap factory with bars of scented soap was found in the ruins of Pompeii (79 AD). However, this has proved to be a misinterpretation of the survival of some soapy mineral substance, [citation needed] probably soapstone at the Fullonica where it was used for dressing recently cleansed textiles. Unfortunately this error has been repeated widely and can be found in otherwise reputable texts on soap history. The ancient Romans were generally ignorant of soap's detergent properties. The word ';soap'; appears first in a European language in Pliny the Elder's Historia Naturalis, which discusses the manufacture of soap from tallow and ashes, but the only use he mentions for it is as a pomade for hair; he mentions rather disapprovingly that among the Gauls and Germans men are likelier to use it than women. [1]





    The Arabs made the soap from vegetable oil such as olive oil or some aromatic oils such as thyme oil. Sodium Lye (Al-Soda Al-Kawia) NaOH was used for the first time and the formula hasn't changed from the current soap sold in the market. From the beginning of the 7th century soap was produced in Nablus (Palestine), Kufa (Iraq) and Basra (Iraq). Arabian Soap was perfumed and coloured, some of the soaps were liquid and others were hard. They also had special soap for shaving. It was commercially sold for 3 Dirhams (0.3 Dinars) a piece in 981 AD. Al-Razi鈥檚 manuscript contains recipes for soap. A recently discovered manuscript from the 13th century details more recipes for soap making; e.g. take some sesame oil, a sprinkle of potash, alkali and some lime, mix them all together and boil. When cooked, they are poured into moulds and left to set, leaving hard soap.





    A story encountered in some places claims that soap takes its name from a supposed ';Mount Sapo'; where ancient Romans sacrificed animals. Rain would send a mix of animal tallow and wood ash down the mountain and into the clay soil on the banks of the Tiber. Eventually, women noticed that it was easier to clean clothes with this ';soap';. The location of Mount Sapo is unknown, as is the source of the ';ancient Roman legend'; to which this tale is typically credited.[2] In fact, the Latin word sapo simply means ';soap';; it was borrowed from a Celtic or Germanic language, and is cognate with Latin sebum, ';tallow';, which appears in Pliny the Elder's account. Roman animal sacrifices usually burned only the bones and inedible entrails of the sacrificed animals; edible meat and fat from the sacrifices were taken by the humans rather than the gods. Animal sacrifices in the ancient world would not have included enough fat to make much soap. The legend about Mount Sapo is probably apocryphal.





    Historically, soap was made by mixing animal fats with lye. Because of the caustic lye, this was a dangerous procedure (perhaps more dangerous than any present-day home activities) which could result in serious chemical burns or even blindness. Before commercially-produced lye was commonplace, it was produced at home for soap making from the ashes of a wood fire.





    Castile soap, made from olive oil, was produced in Europe as early as the 16th century.





    In modern times, the use of soap has become universal in industrialized nations due to a better understanding of the role of hygiene in reducing the population size of pathogenic microorganisms. Manufactured bar soaps first became available in the late nineteenth century, and advertising campaigns in Europe and the United States helped to increase popular awareness of the relationship between cleanliness and health. By the 1950s, soap had gained public acceptance as an instrument of personal hygieneWhat did people use before shampoo and conditioner?

    aloe vera.. some gumamela.. they grind them together to bring the juice out.. and that is what they use for the cleaning of their hair.
    Well, Mary queen of Scots, I remember reading took 2 bathes in her life time. the first was the day of her birth, the 2nd was on her wedding day. P-U. Bring of Mexican American decent I asked my parents ( aged 81 %26amp; 73 respectively) what they and their parents used to wash with. they said that they made there own soap with lye, fat , ash and other stuff. (toilet soap they called it) and used vinager as a sort of conditioner. My Dad also said that the girls used to gather a special weed and boil it for shampoo. but he could'nt remember the name of the weed. Maybe there's a little research for you.
    They used powdered mahendi mixed with water.(In india)
    well i guess it all depends what part of the world you would live in i guess. cause my mom told me that when she was young and they did not have money for soap since they would dishwash at the river they washed them with sand !!! i know eww but hey it worked i guess?
    go with NICOLE
    Id like to know because Im getting really upset that most leading manufacturers are testing their products on animals .
    herb and flowers mix with water i guess
    Soap contains similar ingredients to shampoo, even to this day and age. Shampoo contains a lathering agent called Sulfate Laureate, it also contains a colour, as in colour to make the shampoo look attractive from a clear bottle. It also contains a perfume, as does soap. Soap is basically fat, with chemicals added.


    As far as conditioner goes...hmm simple Olive Oil, was what was used in my family. Or, a spritz of body lotion with water shaken in a spray on bottle. Works a treat and I still have nice hair even though I say so myself. Lol.
    in india people use oil before shampoo

    My great-grandmother on my father's side was Indian(as in from Oklahoma). Her hair hung down to the floor. She washed it once a month and used cornmeal to clean it between washings...

    How much shampoo and conditioner should i apply on my hair?

    I have bra length hair...Now my hair always becomes dry after i take bath...i later presumed that it may be because i m using lot of shampoo and conditioner while taking bath...So this may be the reason that my hair becomes dry and brittle that evening itself...How much amount of shampoo and conditioner is appropriate for my hair..


    Regards:)How much shampoo and conditioner should i apply on my hair?
    The general rule for anything is that you only use as much as is needed. When shampooing, you are only going to apply and shampoo the scalp and first few inches. You do not apply throughout the entire length of your hair. You do not need lots and lots of lather. Lather only indicates that you are using too much. There will be only a small amount of lather, indicating you have just enough, and a tiny bit more.





    When you are rinsing, the shampoo running through will clean the ends. They are usually not covered with a lot of oil and debris, if you brushed your hair well before shampooing.





    Again, with conditioner, you use only as much as necessary. If you are applying an oil or wax (most common ingredient in all conditioners on the shelf), you only want the very smallest amount, if any at all. You want to apply a good protein rebuilder and a moisturizer, as required. Look for Redken, Nexxus or Focus21 products for good products. if your hair absorbs it all, then you know you may need a little bit more. Using more does not mean that your hair is absorbing any of it. It may be better to use smaller amounts more often than one large gob once!





    There is no reason for having really dry and brittle hair after shampooing. Not if you are using correct products properly.How much shampoo and conditioner should i apply on my hair?
    Your problem may not be the amount of shampoo/conditioner you use, it could be a number of things. If it is the amount, you should use a quarter sized amount of both. It may be that when you rinse, you don't get either the shampoo or the conditioner completely out, this could cause problems too. It may be that you have naturally dry hair and in that case you should look for a shampoo specially formulated for your hair.





    Just a tip, if you want soft shiny hair, try rinsing with cold water and blow-drying your hair on a cool setting. This locks in conditioner to your hair follicle and then seals the cuticle so that the moisture stays in and doesn't dry out your hair shaft.





    Hope it helps%26lt;3
    The main thing is that you should always apply oil before you shampoo your hair for minimum 1 hour. The amount of shampoo depends on the volume of hair.


    However your hair are, keep one thing in mind and that is that you don't have to apply a lot of conditioner on your hair. Apply the conditioner only on the surface of the hair and not on the roots. Wash your hair well after using the conditioner. Don't use a lot of shampoo too. Use a mild shampoo and an appropriate quantity of it. When you feel clean on your scalp, you come to know that your hair have been washed and that you don't need more shampoo.
    To thoroughly clean your hair, shampoo twice. The first shampoo will remove the dirt, styling aids, oil, etc. Pour shampoo into your palm, about the size of a silver dollar, given your length. The next shampoo, will clean it, so use a little less because the first shampoo will remove much of the junk %26amp; clean a little as well. As for conditioner, do not overdo it. Use a quarter size amount %26amp; comb it through to your ends, twice, with a wide tooth comb, then rinse well.
    I have pretty much the same hair as you. Here's a trick. Only shampoo the top of your head. You don't need to put the shampoo all the way to the end it will dry them out. I use about a quarter size and just wash the top. The shampoo running down your hair will clean the rest of it. Now with conditioner your suppose to use a lot more on your ends b/c they are the driest. I tend to use alot of conditioner on my ends, I don't think it matters how much but you don't need a lot on the top b/c that's where the oils come from and it will get greasy quicker.
    I had the same problem and decided I wasn't going to put up with dry hair. First I only was my hair 2-3 times per week. Every couple of weeks I use a deep conditioner. When I wash, I always use an after shampoo conditioner (I use Nexxus Therappe). Then-- most important-- after I get out of the shower I spray/finger in some Infusium 23 leave-in conditioner.





    It took a few months, but this ended the dry hair thing for me.
    Two-thirds the size of a golf ball for shampoo.


    One golf ball size for conditioner.

    The 'Aussie' haircare range is amazin'.


    I used a hair repairing conditioner from Aussie due to me experimenting with hair dyes (oops lol) and just after 1 wash, my hair was in even better condition than before i started dying it!


    It may have cost me a few pennies extra, but it was well worth it.


    God bless Aussie!

    I used Dove Shampoo and Conditioner for damaged hair, and it was great. I decided to try Redkin for damage after I had my hair permed last time because my stylist is always recommending it. She was right, it feels soooo good every day. I notice a lot less problems with split ends and dryness too. So if you're willing to up the price a few dollars more it is a really good investment in your hair.
    for damaged hair try a moisturizing leave in treatment with uv protection daily care and a mild shampoo.
    dove is great, but i also like pantene. it makes your hair soft and less damaged
    i like the moisturizing herbal essences shampoo. when you straighten your hair, you take out a lot of moisture so the moisturizing shampoo helps your hair to be soft and shiny even if you straighten it.
    herbal escences!!! :-) it workS!!!
    I use Suave shampoo and conditioner. But i know in the store that they have special shampoo's and conditioners for damaged hair





    good luck :)
    Pantene ProV works really well
