Have you used a detergent soap as your shampoo??

I have never used laundry detergent on my hair, but i have used Dawn dish detergent before. A few years back i had to help my (then) husband install a transmission in his truck and while we were laying there trying to get it into place it started to drain right beside my head. I couldnt move to get out of it becuase i was helping to hold the tranny in place for him to bolt it in, soooo i ended up with transmission fluid in my hair (and not just a lil bit either). The only thing that I could find to get it clean was Dawn.

hi Andyel2023 ! I have had to use liquid dish soap to wash my hair. My hair didn't fall out so that's a good thing! There were times that I had to get only dish soap to use for washing hair, washing dishes, and taking a bath. Was cheaper all the way around. At least now, I don't have to worry about not being able to get different cleaning products for different things. I most generally use Suave shampoo and either Zest or Dial bath bars. I like to get the cheapest concentrated dish liquid for doing the dishes.

No, but during desperate times when there's no shampoo available I use a regular hand soap. LOL

I tried it during my childhood years, I think we are really in need of soap. I think the brand name of the detergent was "AJAX", my aunt said they used this as a shampoo before and their hair very shiny and manageable, I wonder how it goes and what's the smell?

I had real long hair when I was younger. And, my hair is very thick. I used to call it my mop. Well, my mother always used octagon soap on my hair,and then used lemon juice in the rinse water. So I used it for many years. My hair was always healthy,no broken ends, and shined like the sun! I know it has lye in it, but it never hurt my head. In fact, I think it was used as an all-purpose soap back then.

I have not tried this, yet I was fascinated by the topic! Do you know what type of detergent she uses. Do you know if it is a dish detergent, or a laundry detergent? This is the first I have heard of anyone doing this. Inquiring minds want to know! :)
