If that's the case, I'll be watching this space with interest,

i know its vile isnt it!
i found it on a beauty forum about pantene which is evil stuff by the way , it made this girls hair fall out! shes only like 21 or soemthing, and this is what a girl replied - not exactly pig wee but close enough to be vile:
Re: Pantene Raped My Hair!!

I dont use any commercially avialable shampoo, they usually contain Urea which is a mineral extracted from pig urine and glycol which is used in the cooling systems of motor vehicles, frankly I'm not surprised your hair is falling out.

If you have the patience and dont use products in you hair you could just wash it with warm water and use lemon balm or a simmilar herb to freshen if you do this for about 6 months the natural oils will take over and you will have loverly shiny hair. and wont need to use shampoo.
It helps to have long hair you can plat or tie back whilst it is going through a bit of a grotty stage.
I did this when i was about 19 and it was great but you only need to wash it once and it strips the natural oils completley and you have to start again ( i went to a fancy dress and spiked my hair, souldnt get the product out without useing shampoo)

oh i couldnt not wash my hair, i love styling it & plus i work in fashion and they would probably sack me if i had greasy hair, even for just a few weeks!
... i'll have alook into Lush's shampoo's, my friend used to get some from there for blonde hair and it smelled soo nice, it looked like a big bar of soap.. thanks!

You can rinse your hair in warm water every day, and that way you will need to wash it less. This only works if you don't use styling or other products on your hair, as those don't tend to wash out without using shampoo.

thigh length hair wow how amazing, mines abit past my shoulders & very thick - but i straighten it every day or have mermaid waves (only when my hair agree's !) and its also dyed blonde which cant be doing it any good at all - oh god i sound like a complete shallow barbie , but im not at all.
anyway, good advice - good to know its not pure pig wee, and i think i'll try washing it in warm water everyday while im off work, and then take a trip to Lush just as soon as my foot decides it to be un-broken ;D

You could also try a book called Organic at Home by Nerys Purchon, Alison Haynes & Dr Judyth McLeod, published by Murdoch Books ISBN 1-74045-372-7

The Co-op products are all buav approved and so don't contain anything nasty or that involved being nasty to animals.  I wonder whether the urea these days is actually from pigs or is an articificially manufactured form......just think of making your living artificially manufacturing urea....  |

What would you prefer - natural wee or chemical wee?? Yuk. I have just started using the Lush stuff - my hair is really dry and falls out on command, but I have used their stuff today for the first time and it seems really nice. Still a bit bushy, but hey, beggars and choosers and all that....
Unfortunately, have got to dye the mop black for the party on Saturday (all those chemicals - I daren't read the ingredients list) That will undo all the good work.

grab a handful of sage leaves, a drop of rose water, a couple of sprigs of rosemary, a teaspoon evening primrose oil & dilute in some sunflower oil & leave them to steep for a day or two, then apply mixture to the hair & leave to soak in for a couple of hours- a day, wash out by applying a gentle shampoo to your hair first & then washing it out with water, alternatively go to an Asian supermarket & they do sell Indian head massage oils there

Thanks, Rob! I've got to do a phenomenal amount of backcombing and hairspraying as well so the poor thing won't know what's going on.
