Did your mum ever wash your hair with Vosene shampoo, when you was a kid?

I can remember my mum always washing my hair with this stuff, what was the purpose of using medicated shampoo constantly as a child? (all i know is that it made your eyes sting if you ever got any in your eyes).

    yes she did but back then they didnt nhave very many diffrent shampoo's just silverkrin and a couple of others and they only had some for dry greasy and normal hair, unlike today whan the bathroom is full of lots of products then we didnt have very many so in our house we use to get vosene as a change one coz it made the hair nice an shiney and two cos it was a chang from the other shampoos for greasy ect

    I remember my mum used to use it on me as a kid, But I have also heard it helps to deter nits!!, Being as its medicated

    But yes I do remember Vosene, I cant stand the smell of it now and I would not inflict on my children either

    I thought I was the only one! I think you now need to set up a Vosene support group. And I don't believe for a second there is any product even remotley similar on the market today!! Although, lets be honest, we didn't really know any different. lol

    Yes, I used it all my life--and I'm 27 years old! I use Johnson and Johnson's baby shampoo. Whenever I tried to change to another brand, my hair rejected it. It would just never look or feel the way it did with the baby shampoo, so I went back. I'm proud, no shame here! Whatever works! :)

    yes i was washed it it then lol im in my 40s mostly bald and use it nowadays too you can still get it quite easy everyone. I buy it from my local bodycare shop i think its 99p for the vosene orginal shampoo its still a great no nonsense shampoo. Buy some and see.

    My mum did, and I loved the smell, ohhhhhhhh happy days. She used to wash our hair then sit us in front of the fire and go nit searching, I had the shortest hair in my family yet I was the one who got nits.

    And my mum also got a tissue out of her bag, spat on it to wipe my dirty face.
