Big Tera,

I'm a little bit worried about imparting my knowledge with you because MisterSingh gets his knickers in a twist whenever I do but, I'm sorry to say, this is another one of those things that I'm really good at so....seeing how I like you - will offer you some advice:

You know how I'm always going on about trying to live my life in an environmental - friendly way ?  Well, years ago, I decided never to use shampoo on my hair and soap on my face. Yes...you heard right....I don't wash my face with soap or anything other than water (and that's why I look so damn good). I'll come back to that in a minute but first lets address your shampoo issue. Ditch the shampoo bottle....any shampoo....ALL shampoos....and use a solid shampoo bar instead - like a bar of soap but different. We get ours from Lush but I presume Body Shop do them as well. You will be amazed how healthy (and dandruff free) your hair will look and feel. And, the most important thing (as well as helping save the environment) how good it is for your scalp.

Now....back to the face washing. Everyone always tells me how young the skin on my face looks and my secret is that I never use soap or face wash or indeed anything. Only water. And...........the biggest secret of them all.....(drum roll please)............Ponds Cream that I order from the Avon lady (yes that Ponds cream.....the one your mum used to have on her dressing table).  I rub ponds cream on my face just before I go to sleep and once in the morning after washing my face with nothing but water. The result is that I have the face of a little boy you might find hidden in the bedroom of an Afghan / Pakistani man. Well, not so much 'face' as such because little boys don't have beards but definately the youthful skin complexion of a lovely little bacha bazi dancing boy. One that ancient Persian poets might write religious double meaning poems about.

Lol I'm sure mistersingh won't mind if its just about facewash ect or will he? I wonder..

That is interesting on not using and facwash, that is like going back to nature and only using what our ancestors used apart from some cream. 

I have actually tried doing that but not worked for me. My face tends to need a daily scrub. As seems to get dry and flaky without washing it with some kind of soap or other. I use clean and clear exfoliating wash. It's a harsh one but with going to gym and other outdoor sports. I find it gives a good clean.

I know what you're saying BigTera but the process of saving your facial skin is a slow one....just as the skin on your face has been slowly ruined over time with the use of soap etc. All good things take time.

As for the hair washing. Yes, definitely give it a go. I'd recommend this natural Hemp and Oat one:

I have been using head and shoulders for as long as I can remember. I have never had any issues with it. It completely sorts out the itchy scalp and dandruff.

That all changed about 3 months ago when for some reason head and shoulders changed their formula. 

They said that the new forumula is better and more advanced. 

What a load of bullsh1te. 

The new formula is made my scalp worse and is alot worse then the old bottle.

Anyone notice with their new version bottle. Not sure why they had to go change something that worked.

I'm from India. I've recently fallen back on the old and trusted Kesh Nikhar hair wash soap after having used head & shoulders and dove shampoos for years. Kesh Nikhar does have a peculiar fragrance, which isn't a bad smell either, but at least it does not have chemicals. Works like a charm and reminds me of my childhood lol. Traditional things are better most of the times. A lot of secrets that the capitalists rather we not know. If Kesh Nikhar is available in your country, that's what I'd recommend. Here in India, it's even available on Amazon.

I have used H&S for 30 plus years and its been great. I tried the Apple one at the start of this year and it made my scalp really ichy so I went back to normal. My bottle ran out and I bought another normal but I'm sure they have changed the receipe because my head has started becoming really ichy again. Im going to have to try something else!

Hi

I have also been using Head & Shoulders for the past 20 years to keep my scalp in check. After they changed the formulae it no longer works and I need to use Big Pharma products with Cortisols. Wonder if they are aware of this at Head & Shoulders research team. They are in the posession of a formulae that is worth a lot of money! Is it possible to order the old formulae shampoo online?

Are you serious? "yeast formation"?

That doesn't even happen in India, much less cold and rainy England and Canada.

No one is berating you for cutting your hair. If you want to cut your hair, then cut it.

I fail to see why you would write such utterly hateful words for a physical form which our Gurus kept. This would be something like a Hindu or Muslim would write.

It sounds like argumentation for why not to keep your hair.

really then explain how I managed to catch yeast form which is referrred to as white piedra (stones due to look of attached yeast to hair shafts ) in Himachal Pradesh in 2015 , yeast float around everywhere , they just need right conditions to flourish . Only zinc based anti-dandruff shampoo like nizoral and ACV/yoghurt  treatments reduced it .

I won't dispute that you got yeast in India in 2015 from yeast flying around.

But if you look at the wording of the original poster, BigTera, that's not what he said. 

He implied that if you wear a turban, you'll get "yeast formation" as if it will spring up spontaneously:

"All that heat and sweat from wearing a head covering all day gets trapped causing excess moisture and itching build up which makes dandruff worse. ie yeast formation."

That's what I said doesn't happen, even in India.

There are 1.3 billion people in India. 1.3 billion don't have yeast.

There are 25 million or so Sikhs in India. Maybe 10 million keshadhari.

10 million don't have yeast.

Some certainly do have dandruff or other problems, but so do non-Sikhs in the West.

I mean, who do you think is the market for Head & Shoulders Shampoo?

It's false and a slander on Guru's form to suggest that wearing a turban with long hair necessarily leads to dandruff and yeast.

hygiene and changing of dastar daily is stressed in sikhi , if logically you are meant to have a full shower/bath that includes head . Singhs and Kaurs wash daily with at least water in the head if you don't want to use shampoo/soap daily  and putting good quality  oils which keep the scalp free from infections is important too, coconut oil combined with a few drops of lavendar or other oils like neem , shikakai etc will keep it clean and in good condition . Yeah , making excuses like that shows more about his lack than his wanting to do right by his kesh.

You are right. I've been using Head and Shoulders practically my whole life and since that they changed the formula last year it isn't that affective anymore and my scalp doesn't stop itching. I'm so disappointed

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
