Nomad skincare hack
I stopped using any chemical products about one year ago, and my skin is getting better and better ✨
- Water only to clean the face, then Jojoba oil to moisturize, with rose water sometimes.
- Olive oil soap for the body and coconut oil to moisturize, and I do hamam once a month to get rid of dead skin 🤓 something a daily shower couldn't do.
But I haven't figured out the best way to clean my hair - I have tried many no-poo methods, but none is working, so I'm curious: what do you use for hair?
You could go the just brushing route. There's natural oils in the hair follicle. When brushed down to the tip the oil spreads down each hair and naturally cleans the hair.
I did it for a couple of years in the late 80s/early 90s. It does work really well - a fair amount of brushing involved, but it just becomes a nice habit.
Probably lots of great websites out there to help make up your mind.
I only stopped because I had it all cut off.
...plus, I'm bald now - not due to the brushing tho!

wow, brushing - thanks, will try!

No problem - it will naturally condition it too!
It usually takes a few weeks for the system to work optimally. You'll see your hair looking great then.

The top of my head is the only place on my body I don't have hair.

Did you ever figure out the problem of causing hair loss? like I was losing quite a lot of hair when I was living in istanbul, and it turned out because of the hard water there, and I stopped losing that amount of hair once I moved, wild.

With me I think it's genetic. For men, I always heard that if your mother's father was bald, a man will be bald too. I heard the next best predictor is your own father. With me, both my grandfather on my mother's side and my father were bald. So I was doomed. My nephew told me that when he went to Istanbul half the airplane was filled with men going there to get inexpensive hair transplants. Have you heard of this?

yes! many people come to Turkey to get hair implantation, and quite some Middle east women come to get nose jobs too - not a surprise seeing people cover their noses or hair when you are walking around in european side of istanbul 😂
I tried laser hair removal and orthodontics, both with amazing results and great price:)

I work with two Turkish brothers. They always point to my head and tell me they're going to take me to Istanbul. I told them I like my bald head! One has moved back to Turkey. The other guy flies back home for dental work. He says it's cheaper even with the air fare.

yes, do what you like! but I'd prefer digging the natural ways to regrow hair than using "outside force".
