I finally decided to wash my locks the "local"/"Rasta" way, using literally all natural products. Thankfully there is someone who loves me dearly and volunteered to help me out. To make the shampoo he took hibiscus leaves and crushed them in a bucket of water. Well, maybe crush isn't the word. If you've seen anyone wash clothes in their hands, that's more of the motion. A green slime is produced and is strained before being used as shampoo. I wash my hair as I normally would using the green slime instead of shampoo from a bottle.
After washing and rinsing my hair, I took some locks in my hands as I normally do and smelled my hair. To my surprise there was not a scent left on my hair. It was in that moment that I realised the truth to "clean has no smell"
Nowadays we associate the smell of "clean" with Febreeze and other products, but these things are not real clean. Real clean reminds you of being in a pristine environment, the scent of nothing or of purity. I maintain that when I am able - in my own house/apartment/whatever, I shall use as many all natural products as possible. Vinegar instead of disinfectant, hibiscus leaves instead of shampoo, lemons as air fresheners for example. Nature is clean so I will learn from her and use what she has to remain clean :)
