Dear Sirs:

Are you insane?

For you must be, Sirs, to take “shampoo advice” seriously from the Christian Brotherhood. Sirs, they ask that you pour vinegar on your poor, unsuspecting hair follicles, without offering any true scientific rationale for such an odoriferous treatment. While I appreciate your willingness for experimentation, I question the judgement you exercised upon- or perhaps, against- the very follicles that have proven to be so loyal to you over these past many years.

Please, please, reconsider your current stance on hair care products, and leave any advice to those professionals not affiliated with any particular religion; for remember, God helps those who wash their OWN hair.

Thank you for consideration, and please feel free to use my real name.

Your humble servant,
Emma D.

re: Boo Shampoo!
Hey Prof.
These ladies have given up the ‘poo: [link] and I have followed suit. I have two old ‘poo bottles in the tub, one for the baking soda solution, and one for the apple cider vinegar solution, used every other wash. Check it out. It’s been working great on my head for a week.

On the shampoo front, I have to chemically disagree: “But the water supply slowly changed. It’s now generally more alkaline, which people call hard water.”

Um, no. The water is what the water is wherever the water is. It’s not changing worldwide. In London it’s damn hard, here in St. Paul it’s quite gently soft as always. The article falls flat on its science face immediately because alkalinity and hardness are not the same. The rest has merit but once a false gauntlet has been thrown ... .
