Re: Dr. Bronners soap

[Guest guest]

Hi Caroline,

Thanks for sharing this.. I also have long, thick hair and have been

wondering how the Dr. Bronners Castile liq. soap would work on My

hair. I bought the Aloe Baby mild. I smelled the peppermint kind and

it smells wonderful. I may drop a little peppermint EO in mine. I'v

also been doing lot's of research on how to make All Natural homemade

soap and intend to try my hand at that in the future.
