Girls and ladies, be careful when buying makeup!

I was wondering what you guys use for shampoo? I've been using baking soda & ACV or cacao powder etc for over a year, and the hair does not seem to clean itself!

Personally, I have not tried it, I know my daughter's always a "chemistry" with olive oil, eggs and rosemary !? :huh:

Apparently there ARE ways to make home-made, chemical-free makeup. In fact, I just looked at some recipes, and they seem fairly simple, and have ingredients that are pretty harmless, possibly even beneficial for the skin (e.g. coconut oil, aloe vera...)

Never tried it myself, but maybe it's worth it for those who don't like not wearing makeup.

I've tried these methods a few times, and they all work just as well. But I gave up eventually as it just wasn't worth the effort, unless you're going to an event or an interview. Even the mascara made from aloe vera, coconut oil, bees wax and activated charcoal stings the eyes!

there is a thread about shampoo (or no shampoo) here http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,18455.0.html

I often use Rhassoul, it cleans well without getting the hair too dry, and sometimes baking soda, but I think it depends on the hair what is best, so one has to experiment. I read somewhere that vinegar is very good for conditioner, but haven't tried it
 
Casper, it is very beautiful that you care to your daughter doings. You are a good father

Attempts to child dressed in a "children's" clothes, levels are impossible because the market there is no such clothing. The fashion industry as it seeks to girls and young women make objects. Clothing that is available to them is too narrow, with too deep neckline, short, challenging and "sexy". Traders are targeted at young girls feel that their role models they see in Vikan and popular young stars. The exception was not the toy industry, which has flooded the market with sexualized dolls accented attributes.
All the more widespread and offer cosmetics for children and girls are intended shades, nail polish, lip gloss, perfumes ... In the higher grades it is normal for girls to color your hair and to go out wearing high heels.
The media have in recent times become easily available and daily ubiquitous, it is enough to have with you mobile access to the Internet and all the information you need at your fingertips. Thus a school girl with a mobile phone in your pocket actually can access any type of content - as easy to come up with games and Playboy.
Women are generally says that they have to be sexy, desirable, challenging and incredibly nice to have a successful and fulfilling life. As a result of that we can see girls without any criticism and questioning accept imposed stereotypes and emphasize their sexuality to attract male attention.

That does not necessarily mean that a Girl is looking for the male Attention.
What has not been mentioned here, is that girls and women can make excessively this, because they do not have enough love from home, and are looking for this warmth and appreciation. That is, it is not meant to sexual level.
That's what I had experienced as a teenager. I had so little Self-esteem that I was not even gone to the garbage outside without makeup. And believe me, I had no interest in men.


I remember a girl from my class who was considered a "School-beauty ". She came almost every day with high-heeled shoes and bombastic makeup to school. She had God knows what kind of partnerships and much sexual experience for her age. Wow, and she can Dance!
However, behind the facade, I have seen her true face. She searched a contact with me, because we are both Russian languages and she was a friend from my twin sister. Anyway, she is a lonely girl who lost both parents in a car accident, her surrogate parents (Grandma + Grandpa) died, alternated between her aunt and various youth centers and came up with drugs and false "friends" in contact.
Lack of love, is not it?

If you use the baking soda and your hair feels too oily, use more baking soda, less water, with a few drops of tea tree or peppermint oil (just a few drops though). If the hair is too dry or stiff feeling, use your baking soda/water mix, then rinse completely-then follow up with a 1 to 4 parts mixture of apple cider vinegar and Cold Water. The vinegar will condition your hair and leave it amazingly shiny. And you don't smell sour either. I use an old Myer's soap bottle to mix my baking soda/water/peppermint oil in. The spout on the top is perfect for squirting it directly on the scalp. I always use a separate one for the vinegar rinse.
Remember-you want to make sure All the baking soda is rinsed out of your hair before you put the vinegar on, otherwise the chemical reaction between the two can hurt your skin. Also-in my experience, you don't want to leave the vinegar on longer than a minute or two. It can start to hurt your skin if you do.

Thank you for the thread! I hadn't been able to find any threads about this previously. Baking soda and ACV tend to work for me, but after hearing the stripping effects the baking soda cause (I suppose it depends on the individual) I started using castille soap instead, I think it also depends on the actual day lol! I'll probably try the Rhassoul clay soon.

Thank you Magpie, the ACV certainly does sting if you've left it on for too long! I sometimes find that if I use baking soda too much like twice a week, then it becomes greasy quicker... using a soft bristle brush to spread out the natural oils tends to help!
 
Well, just to throw in my two cents, I kind of agree with Xico that I think makeup is a bit superfluous. I really don't find it particularly attractive and think most girls look better without it. I guess a little bit sparingly applied here and there might accentuate certain features, but a lot of these girls look like they're trying to be Barbie dolls or something. I mean they put this mask on their face, shiny stuff in their hair, crazy eye liner, lipstick, who knows what else I don't even know about. Yeah, it has a certain "flash" and "pizazz" to it, but in an artificial plasticy sort of way. If I was ever going to kiss one of them I could really do without the lipstick...

As far as cosmetics, I use this cream on my skin _http://www.iherb.com/Dr-Mercola-Healthy-Skin-Organic-Body-Butter-Unscented-4-oz-113-g/39923 and I use this shampoo _http://www.iherb.com/NaturOli-Extreme-Hair-Soap-Nut-Shampoo-Normal-to-Oily-Hair-16-oz-474-ml/38313

There's probably cheaper alternatives, but they seem to work well and they don't have any funky chemicals in them.

Please, heed this man! :thup:
 
I don't like contemporary make up much (American TV star makeup don't really enhance beauty IMO), but I think makeup can be cool (and fun) I mostly don't wear any as I spend a lot of time alone, but it's fun to put on war paint for dramatic effect.

I think both no make up and makeup can be beautiful, it's just different kind of beautiful.
Always thought that Karen Blixen looked cool with the dramatic eye makeup..

I totally agree! Well said Neil, there's something new that girls seem to be doing with foundation as well - something called contouring - it's basically putting different shades of god knows what chemicals around the face, because apparently that is how it's SUPPOSED to be! lol! Some girls spend hours putting their mask on...

BTW girls, the Rhassoul clay that Miss.K suggested works wonders! totally cleansed my hair and left it shiny after a ACV rinse :clap: :thup:

Glad I could help :)

-about kissing with lipstick, that I would often wear when younger, I thought it was kinda nice, as my face would always get red from the stubbles, and this way his face got red too, so we were even ;)
