| Okay, don't think I'm crazy or anything, but I was washing my daughter's hair and thought...I wonder if I could use baby shampoo for a mild cleansing option for my hair...What do you guys think? |

There's no reason why you couldn't. Back in the day when I tried to use it, it dried my hair out though. I didn't like how it felt but I haven't used it in a long time. All you could do is try it out and see. You could always add some glycerin to it if it's too harsh and maybe that would help. ------------- |

| That's a good idea pokahontas, i could probably do a little oil too. If I give it a try I'll let you know how it works out! |

I once tried the Johnson and Johnson Baby Shampoo and it dried my hair out as well. I read some where that as one ages the hair matures so that baby shampoo was not a good idea because it said it did not get the hair clean enough. ------------- "God makes no mistakes" he created you the way you are suppose to be. |

So, do you think it is better or worse than a clarifying shampoo to remove buildup? That's kinda what I was thinking of using it for...not as a regular thing.
