*nod* iirc, the reason i mentioned slippery being good is that if your hair DOESN'T get slippery with the BS, it's probably because you have hard water and should not use it anymore. BS+hard water=gummy mess that doesn't come out until it wants to, after lots and lots of brushing. i had basically a disaster with that in Spain, and have recently discovered that washing my hair at Adam's place in PA is also a bad idea (though not quite as disastrous as Spain, ahhhh). i think i'm going to experiment with salt for awhile before i make my next set of travel plans - i'm down to about once every five days, but i try not to go past that because i don't like keeping my hair clean with my brush (it works, but my brushes get gross and are annoying to clean).
as i said to Bradley, i'm really really happy with using this - definitely another success story. i like my hair WAY more with this method than i ever did using chemicals - i didn't used to ever wear my hair down, and now i do more often than not. :)
i think i'm going to try OCM again. i want to find a really soft cloth to do it with (a baby washcloth, or maybe even an old rag-tshirt) since i know scrubbing was a big part of my problem before. i'm somewhat loath since my skin has FINALLY calmed down, and i'm also not sure about not doing it every day, since i tend to break out when i miss washing my face either in the morning or at night . . but on the other hand, it's usually a full wash or nothing for me, so maybe water would be a reasonable substitute.
also, oh my god, tea tree oil was such a disaster for me. my skin was so dry that it hurt 24h/day. :( :( and the other problem i had was that my sink got really oily, which isn't that big a deal but i'll need to remember to keep something around to wipe it down with so my roommate doesn't get annoyed with it.
