Well my "no-poo" strategy is not yet perfected, but I am continuing with the Natural method of cleansing my Hair sulfate free and even - "cones" free for styling and conditioning.

The "cones" free part seems to be the hardest for me because I don't like the fact I can't "wet comb" my hair like I used to when I was over-using all my products with dimethicones in them.

So as I have worked through and past my "waxy" stage (using the club soda recommendation, noted here) I have been concentrating my research on natural substitutes for my long-time love for silicones that closed my hair cuticle and gave me the sleek look (even when I hadn't used a flat iron).

This is what I found.  Again, I am sharing my information before I experiment, but from what I am reading, it will be worth a try.  It is grapeseed oil. I am not going to endorse a brand or anything, yet all indications point to buying the pure stuff. And I do plan to buy some in the coming days and try it out when using hot appliances to see if it truly protects my hair and gives me the wanted results.
