this sounds like a job for alpha_angel. :-) i'll see if i can go poke her. back when i was using the BS, it felt like it was becoming soapy, but now that you mention it, that feeling was also what i remember "soft water" feeling like. so i have no idea

heh. thanks. :-) it's all due to henna though. my natural color is a mousey greyish blonde. ech.
so-far the lightening has happened to those who have golden/flaxen attributes to their hair. the BS makes it dull and dingy, taking all the gold away. i've noticed it had taken the golden parts of my henna'ed hair away. the parts below my ears are no-longer as deep and complex as the way it was in the icon. :-( even with continued henna usage. the new growth seems darker and able to hold the henna longer.
my husband on the other hand has black hair and has had no problems with the BS whatsoever.
i wasn't using a scrub when i was BSing. but if scrub + ACV ends up working well, there'll be no need for me to use BS anyway. the ACV only was working really well, no scaling, but it felt gunky and itchy. today it feels wonderful. no itch, nice and clear. i'm excited.
The Curly Girl book recommends quinoa. Personally I can't seem to use ANY type of grain to exfoliate since they get lost in my hair before they even reach my scalp.
