Shampoo

The most complete description Aajonus gave of his personal hair-washing protocol appears in an early training session. He blended one whole egg, approximately ten strawberries (or five to six if they were large), one tablespoon of honey, and enough raw milk to fill a ten-ounce canning jar. He blended this mixture until it was warm, which took approximately three minutes. He then poured part of the mixture into a separate four-ounce jar for use on his hair, keeping the remaining portion without clay.

To the portion intended for body use, he added one teaspoon of clay and blended again for about a minute. He was explicit that the clay version was not suitable for the hair because it made the hair too dry. The clay-free portion from the larger jar was used on the hair specifically, and it functioned as both a cleanser and a conditioner simultaneously. He described it as cleaning the hair and conditioning it at the same time, without requiring any additional product.

He applied this mixture to the hair while in the bath, rubbed it into the scalp, and let it sit for up to ten minutes before rinsing. He soaked in the bath while the mixture was on his hair rather than rinsing immediately.

A simpler version he described in workshops was blending one egg with three ounces of vegetable juice, two ounces of milk, and one tablespoon of honey. He stated he applied this to the hair while dry. On days he did not have access to his full preparation, he used straight raw milk on his hair. He stated directly: "I don't use soaps at all."

Another variation he described was a combination of two ounces of vegetable juice with one egg, with the note that if the hair was very dry, milk should be added, as milk would condition the hair. If the hair was oily, he advised leaving the milk out, because milk would condition and add moisture. He blended these with a little honey.

Aajonus was careful to distinguish between how the preparation was used on the hair versus the body. The base mixture of egg, strawberries, honey, and milk was used on the hair. The same base with clay added was used on the body and face. The clay portion was applied to the body and face while standing in the bath, and by the time he was ready to shave, the clay mixture on his face had been on long enough that he could proceed with shaving using it. He then got down into the bath, used a brush to stimulate circulation, applied the hair mixture to his hair, and remained in the tub for half an hour to an hour.

The clay's role in the body preparation was to pull out impurities. He confirmed that clay draws out anything, used on the body as a cleanser that pulls toxins outward, while being unsuitable for the hair because of the drying effect it produced there.

When the hair was still dry after washing with the egg-and-milk preparation, Aajonus used a small amount of raw butter as a finishing treatment. He took a very small amount, just enough to create a thin film across his palm, rubbed it across the backs of his hands, sprayed his hair lightly with water, and then rubbed the butter in. The spray was mentioned but the source recording was partially inaudible regarding what he sprayed. The result was a very light coating of butter on the hair rather than a heavy application.

He also described a hair treatment involving butter and bone marrow for hair regrowth, applied once a week and left in rather than washed out. The preparation was approximately half butter and one third bone marrow, with a total of about four ounces depending on hair coverage. He noted that using butter alone helped thicken the hair, and that with bone marrow added, there was potential for regrowth because bone marrow stem cells are not restricted in the same way that adult specialized cells are.

In the context of balding and hair loss, Aajonus gave a specific and simple shampoo instruction independent of the larger preparation: wet the hair, apply whipped raw egg to the hair and scalp, let it stand for one to five minutes, and rinse. This appeared in the hair loss section of his written work as a standalone recommendation. He described a good shampoo simply as whipped raw egg in that context.

The broader protocol for hair loss included internal measures such as eating raw berries with raw coconut cream, unsalted raw butter, and raw cream to bind with metals so they cause less damage to follicles. Topically, rubbing a blended mixture of one ounce fresh raw aloe vera gel taken directly from inside the leaf and two ounces of fermented coconut oil (never heated above 96 degrees Fahrenheit) into the scalp was stated to protect the scalp and follicles, stop hair loss, and sometimes promote regrowth within several weeks, unless there was an allergy to shampoo interfering with the process.

Aajonus connected dandruff to hardened or unutilizable fat in the scalp, with accompanying bacteria that were the body's response to detoxifying that fat rather than a cause of the condition itself. He identified antibacterial shampoos as a direct harm in this context: they poison the scalp, and those poisons are absorbed into the body and brain, producing the psychological effects already noted.

His dietary solution was eating plenty of raw fat and alkalizing foods, which he said typically resolved dandruff within one to two months. He noted it might return briefly for a week or two when the body was discarding old stored unusable fat and other toxins through the scalp, as those toxins caused the scalp to dry and the upper layer to flake.

For those recurring periods, he gave a topical protocol: once every second or third day, massage one and a half tablespoons of cold-pressed fermented coconut oil (pressed below 96 degrees Fahrenheit) or stone-pressed olive oil blended with one teaspoon of fresh cucumber into the scalp, and let it stand overnight. Then wet the hair and wash the hair and scalp with a whipped raw whole egg, let the egg remain for three to five minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

In workshops, Aajonus described his general soap and shampoo replacement as a fermented coconut cream preparation. He left coconut cream out at room temperature, unrefrigerated, in the bathroom until it turned pink, at which point it had fermented. He then mixed one ounce of fermented coconut cream into eight ounces of water, shaking it to dissolve, which worked in warm water. He wetted his hair and body first, then applied this mixture. He stated plainly: "That's my shampoo, that's my soap, that's everything."

He explained that coconut cream was historically the basis of nearly all soaps and shampoos until industry replaced it with petroleum-derived synthetic substitutes. He emphasized that coconut cream was not only a cleanser but a powerful detoxifier: it can pull grey discoloration from metal within a few hours, faster than any other fat. He described how coconut cream dissolves lymphatic congestion, fat deposits, mineral deposits, and other accumulations in the body, which was also why it was such an effective external cleanser.

The fermentation instruction was reinforced in a laundry context where he told someone to add one tablespoon of lemon juice to one cup of coconut cream and let it ferment before using it as a washing agent.

Aajonus described the shift away from coconut-based hair products as a purely economic decision made by industry, not a scientific or safety-based one. He said explicitly that all body soaps and shampoos were 98% coconut-based fifty years prior. The move to synthetic substitutes happened because petroleum products eliminated the need to grow coconuts, harvest them, and process them. He characterized this as monetarily efficient while being environmentally and physiologically damaging.

He connected aluminum in shampoos, deodorants, and related products to balding, linking metal poisoning from sources including aluminum cooking utensils, canned foods, deodorants, shampoos, soaps, and medications to rapid or gradual hair loss. Aluminum was described as being present in certain product categories because it holds substances in place, including in unnatural fabric fibers.

He was direct about the complete absence of any commercial product from his personal care routine. Lemon juice in the armpits served as deodorant. Egg was used for shaving and for the hair. Coconut cream was used in the bath and on the body. He stated: "I don't use any store bought products for my personal care." The only commercial product he mentioned using at all was a degreaser for laundry and household cleaning, and that was a specific biodegradable formulation rather than a conventional detergent.

He bathed rather than showered, taking a bath roughly once every three to four days in his own practice (once every five days in another account), though he was careful to note that he was far enough along on the diet that odor was not an issue the way it would be for someone newer to the protocol. He did not recommend that bathing frequency for people who had not been on a good raw diet for some time.

Though not a shampoo or conditioner, Aajonus addressed store-bought hair sprays in the same category of harmful hair products. He described them as very toxic to the sinuses, bronchi, lungs, blood, scalp, brain, and entire body, as well as damaging to the hair itself. His natural substitute was one and a half teaspoons of unheated honey mixed into one cup of good mineral water, poured into a spray bottle and used as a conventional hair spray would be. He noted the mixture would ferment: in warm temperatures it might last as few as three days, and in a cool place up to ten days.
