    Maybe you should try a natural shampoo as it could be the chemicals in normal shampoos you have a problem with. I tend to use "I Am Natural" shampoos and find they clean my hair so well that I only use it once a week. http://www.iamnatural.co.uk/

    My uncle hasn't washed his hair for about 15 years, but whether it's just because he's quite a dirty person I don't know but it's all clumped together and is not nice at all, he has quite long hair and it really smells :eek:

    p.s. on a more helpful note, when I was younger and had nits, I used to use washing up liquid :rotfl:Did the trick ;)

    I remember my mum saying that boiling the nut in water and then rinsing hair with it was good for dandruff. Will be trying this soapnut myself soon. If you have Indian grocery stores near you, try asking if they have aritha - it should be cheaper.
