The Beauty Brains: cosmetic scientists explain what the fuck is actually in that shampoo/foundation/whatever you've got in your paw at the drugstore, and what it does. Example: The Four Basic Types Of Shampoo.

Hallelujah.

This looks great thanks. There is also makeup alley (www.makeupalley.com) which is good for reviews and stuff.

Speaking of shampoo, there is also the outrageous idea that you shouldn't use it at all. There is a movement of people who use only conditioner and some others who use water only and maybe a little oil as conditioner.

I went 'no poo' for about three months, using VO5 clarifying conditioner for the 'wash' portion and Suave Naturals in coconut for the conditioner conditioner. It worked OK for me, except my hair started getting 'drier' for some reason (I think because my scalp stopped producing oil since it wasn't getting de-greased by the SLS). Also, my tub drain was getting way backed up from all the conditioner going down the drain.
Then I discovered shampoo bars (see below).
