[YEA] 03/09/2008: Brooke from Montgomery, TX: "I have been using Pure Crude Oil on my hair for 15 years now, followed by a vaseline rub. I put on the Oil and massage it into my scalp with a cupped massager, then I put on the vaseline and massage it with the cupped massager. It is an amazing conditioner and makes your hair grow quicker than usual. It stimulates growth when you don't have it also!! It is an amazing cure for all scalp issues!!"
Replies[QUESTION] 01/11/2009: Laurie from Sudbury, Ontario replies: "Hi there, please tell me what crude oil is and can you use any other oils like olive or coconut oil instead? As i am trying to go out and buy everything mentioned on here, its getting awfully expensive. So many as the saying goes, get three things done with one thing.
Not exactly as the saying goes but you know what I mean. I would appreciate any feed back. Thank you."
EC: Pure crude oil is motor oil, so she must mean another type of oil unless this is a joke! Don't put motor oil in your hair!
05/17/2009: VALERY from ROSE HILL, KS replies: "I SAW THIS POST ABOUT CRUDE OIL FOR HAIR, AND EARTHCLINICS WARNING RESPONSE, SO I GO CURIOUS AND LOOKED IT UP
AND,
if you do a google search for "pure crude oil for hair"
----i got as one of the first results, a company selling that product: "pure crude oil for hair" and in the specifics about the product, they mentioned " Crudoleum " and after doing another google search for " Crudoleum for hair" i found several companies selling it and one site says this about their Crudoleum conditioner: "Ingredients include castor oil, olive oil, aloe vera, jojoba, lanolin, and a pleasant almond fragrance for a manageable shine"
also another site sells a "Crudoleum cream" that combines white petroleum jelly and crude oil"
so the "crude oil" these compaines, and i believe the woman behind this post is refering to the oil these companies are selling, not motor oil....obviously! but it is confusing and i wanted to clear up any confusion for other readers!!"
[YEA] 12/05/2010: Brooke from Montgomery, Tx, Usa replies: "Sorry for not reading this before! Yes - it is NOT oil that is used for the car!! It is Pennsylvania Crude Oil, Google it and you can find out about it! It is an Edgar Cayce remedy that I have always used, however, for the past two months I have also supplemented with a formula that includes Lactated Pepsin, Black Snake Root Extract, Essence of Wild Ginseng, Atomic Iodine, Extract of Liver, and Grain Alcohol - ( you can Google that also) and it has healed all of my previous hair problems! I still do the Crude oil and Vaseline about 3x a month though, and I now also use a "violet ray" on my scalp to bring even more circulation. All three of those things though has turned my hair beautiful! I no longer take my Armour Thyroid pill that I have taken for years, because of the Iodine in the formula. I have never been able to grow my thin hair past my shoulders and now I have! I have no split ends, my hair is nice and smooth and it is so much thicker!"
02/14/2011: Michelle from Cincinnati, Ohio, Usa replies: "Pennsylvania Crude Oil is "taken fresh from the oil wells in Pennsylvania. This is real crude oil with no refinement. " .... As stated on a website selling it. They also mention Edgar Cayce as having recommended it in and another place saying it was in his book, "Drugless Therapy. " Had to research it, sounded so strange. I wouldn't use it, but I believe sometimes instinct draws us to what we need. Supposed to be good for hair loss."
08/21/2011: Doddie from Lawrenceville, Georgia replies: "Over washing and blow drying also destroys the hair. Cut back on washing your hair every two weeks or just when you cannot stand it any more. Hair grows from the inside out."

SILICON SUPPLEMENTS
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand: "Try taking some foods rich with silicon. Such as nuts, horsetails, oatmeal, etc. Or you can take some silicon supplements in the form of orthosilicic acid or silicic acid, which is a water soluble form of silicon. Taken vitamin C will help strengthen or thinken the epidermis. Taking some magnesium seems to helpful. Apple cider vinegar have some traces of silicon and will help. But you need to reduce your intake of vegetable oils (they seem to destroy the liver) and is seen not helpful to the circulation as liver once not functionally as efficiently will not provide nutrients throughout the body.
Takin silicon supplements 5-10 mg/day seems to cause thickening of nails and hair within weeks. (They also grow faster)
Taking some rutin rich foods, such as bee pollen will help develop capillaries, which hopefully will be helpful for the scalp also."

SOAP NUTS

[YEA] 03/14/2009: Dianna from Austin, Tx: "i just noticed that you don't have soapnuts listed on your site.
soap nuts are actually berries, you can use them for laundry (yay! no perfumes, dyes, soap, etc.) and they work great for this. i even get good results from using them in cold water. also if you make the liquid you can use it for many uses around the house: dishwashing, counters and surfaces, spot treatments of very dirty clothes before washing with the whole soap nuts, carpet cleaning AND hair washing!
also if you use the liquid for washing your pets - fleas don't like it!
it makes your hair very shiny and soft and thick.
if you are interested - google soapnuts - there is a LOT of info out there.
btw - the 'brand' i have is maggies - which is sold at my food co-op. although they may seem expensive upon first inspection - $17.99 for about 50 berries - you can re-use them in the laundry up to 5 times! and then 20 of them will make 32 ounces of cleaning liquid - and you can even do this 2 or 3 times if you save the berries after cooking them.
so a box could work for like 50 loads of laundry! and we wash in cold water - if you use hot or warm water it takes even less of the soapnuts.
this is a wonderful find for anyone who is allergic to conventional detergents. they even clean my boyfriend's very dirty and greasy car working on clothes!"
EC: Thanks, Dianna. We are going to cross-post this to the Earth Clinic Planet site as well!
