Ejadamen:Actually, I'm not sure if they see it in containers. My mother went to Nigeria and brought back some black soap in two identical containers so I kinda assumed that they were sold in containers. . . Hehehe, silly me. I've only tried baking soda and soap. As much as I like the healing properties of Apple cider vinegar, I'm too scared to put it in my hair. I know that there's a commercial brand of dudu osun but I've never bought it or used it before. If you're looking for natural recipes, try some of these: Chamomile Tea Shampoo Ingredients: 4 bags of Chamomile tea 4 tablespoons pure soap flakes 1 1/2 tablespoons glycerin Directions: Steep the tea bags in 1 1/2 cups of boiled water for 20 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard. Add the soap flakes to the tea and let stand until the soap softens. Stir in glycerin until well blended. Keep in a dark, cool place in a sealed bottle.Warning: Should be avoided by those with ragweed and pollen allergies. Cleansing Rinse Cleansing rinses are excellent for removing shampoo residue, which can weigh down your hair and make it lifeless. Combine 1 cup of vinegar and 2 tbsp. of dried rosemary in a glass or microwaveable bowl. Put the mixture into the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Next, use a spoon to crush the rosemary on the side of the glass bowl to release the fragrance. Strain the mixture and let it cool before using. Apply to hair after shampooing, leave on for 2 minutes, then rinse out with cool water. It sounds like more work than it is. Wonder of the Desert Shampoo for Dry Hair Ingredients: 1/4 cup liquid castile soap 1/4 cup organic aloe vera gel 1 teaspoon pure vegetable glycerin 1/4 teaspoon organic avocado oil or other light organic vegetable oil Directions Mix together all the ingredients. Store in a bottle and always shake well before using. Apply to hair and allow to sit for a few minutes. Rinse well with cool water. If you want some more, please let me know  |

Ejadamen:The black soap I'm referring to is just regular black soap. There's no such product [that I've heard of] called 'black castile soap'. Black soap and castile soap are two different types of soaps. Black soap [also known as dudu osun in some places] is made from the ash of locally harvested plants and barks such a plantain, cocoa pods, palm tree leaves, and shea tree bark. Castile soap is a soap made with fat of purely vegetable origin, rather than animal fats such as tallow. This type of soap has historically been highly prized and viewed as a high quality soap which is gentle on the skin and useful for a range of other applications. Many stores sell castile soap, and this soap is a specialty of several regions in Europe, where it is made with various traditional ingredients. Also, the type of black soap I was referring to is the non-commercial kind--as in the type you can buy in the market in containers. Has anyone ever tried Morrocan black soap? I've been wanting I to try that type as well. I might go to the Arab neighborhood near my house and pay a visit to some of the stores and see if I can find some. |

[quote author=Kenny_G link=topic=13428.msg7164627#msg7164627 date=1290032912]so the couple are one if the woman is still bearing the name of her father? she might as well remain in her parents home,[/quote]And how does bearing only the husbands name signify unity? If they both retained the names they have then that is a common bond, which can still signify their unity. And there's always the options of hyphenating. How can you really be "one" when your hear speaking of the bride to be as though she is property? She is a human being as well. You marrying her doesn't mean you own her. |

| Family › Re: Is It Possible For Someone To Get Pregnant After Abortion ? by InkedNerd(f): 11:12pm On Nov 17, 2010 |
@OP: If the procedure was done correctly, then yes, the person getting the abortion can still have children later on. Despite the scare tactics used in African countries to discourage the practice of abortions, if done correctly there should be no problems afterwards, but like kokoye said practice safe sex. |

Trendqueen:I didn't go to Fashion Night Out this year. Wasn't really feelin' it and I was feelin' a bit lazy and didn't feel like leavin' my house. I kinda regretted it later on since my sister's friend's grandfather got my sister and I access to some of the behind the scene stuff. My sister went there to cover a story for a website she works for. Oh well, there's always next year. |

| Fashion › Re: Ladies With Skirts Clap For Yourselves by InkedNerd(f): 5:02pm On Nov 17, 2010 |
@OP: It's obvious that you've mind is full of nonsense. Your sittin' here tellin' us you like skirt because of sexual accessibility--Smh, do us a favor and go jump off a roof. There are quite a few things that men wear that we women find either repulsive or unflattering. You don't see us complaining. I'm sure the same accessibility you decided i the same accessibility that other men have in mind when they walk in the street and see your mother, sister, and perhaps in the future, your daughter. Go find something productive to do instead of chasing skirts. |

Trendqueen:I don't necessarily think lot of the African models are with Red, but I do know that they have one the largest number of male models of color. I've met a couple of them and they seem pretty cool. There's something that seems a bit off about him [Ugo]. I'm usually familiar with the foreign agencies like Storm, D Management, City Models Management, etc. but I've never heard of the ones you've mentioned. Are they legit agencies? I'll ask my sister's friend. She'd have a better idea since she mingles with a lot of the European models in her agency. Is he a new model or something?  |
| Fashion › Re: I Love Ugo Osmunds by InkedNerd(f): 4:21pm On Nov 17, 2010 |
Trendqueen:Hmmm, I've seen a lot of the African male models here in NY when Fashion Week rolls around, but I've never seen him before. What agency is he signed to? Whoever edited these photos was a bit too heavy handed when they touched it up on Photoshop. The photos look very unnatural. Using the healing brush tool in that manner makes the photo look way too soft. |

denzel2009:So, if I am one unit why am I taking his last name rather than him? That doesn't seem to show unity. It comes across a very one sided. There is no actual justification for so an issue. Most men use it as a means of asserting their perceived authority/dominance that they seem to think they are entitled to by society.
