The "evils" of sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate

I generally make my own soap to avoid sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate and am currently on my last bar.  I also do use Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap (Fair Trade) as a shampoo/body wash.  The 18-in-1 soap has been around a long time, however I have found it to be a great shampoo for me.  However, after reading this current article in Mother Nature Network, it's made me rethink the whole thing.  Susan does the "Curly Girl" method, but my mind would allow me to really give it a go.  Perhaps I will try this method now using the conditioner once a week.  Susan talks the talk, but she also walks the walk.  For some the changes are easy, for others it's baby steps, but it's all good because every green change you make, you do make a difference.

Sue, trust me, those with soggy factor have been following the "curly girl" method and perhaps the crunchier the better is what I needed to hear :)
