Piling on commercial chemical products isn't always the best way to handle hair that won't cooperate. The secret to a deep clean is an ingredient likely sitting in your pantry right now: baking soda. As a natural clarifying agent, baking soda for hair works to clean strands by gently removing build-up and giving the overall head a detox.
To use baking soda - Mix one tablespoon of baking soda into 250 ml of warm water. Stir until dissolved then pour it over wet hair. Massage this magical mixture into your scalp and rinse well. You can also add an essential oil of your choice if you like.
Just keep in mind before you go washing your hair with baking soda that this should not been used daily, or it will have detrimental effects on your hair.
For your conditioner, a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice diluted in 250ml of warm water will do the trick. Pour over washed hair, leave to set in for a few minutes, then rinse. It will leave hair squeaky clean and soft.
The only caveat applies to those with hard water: you must boil the water for a few minutes before using it, or risk the high mineral content sabotaging your efforts. Or of course you can use bottled water.
Using baking soda shampoo has many benefits. For one, baking soda contains no chemicals, dyes, or fragrances like many shampoos on the market. Instead, it is made of a single, all-natural ingredient: sodium bicarbonate. Baking soda is a basic substance that can neutralize acids, which is why it is useful for eliminating odors. Additionally, it can dissolve dirt and oil residue, and is a gentle abrasive that can act as an exfoliant. Unlike some hair products that leave a filmy build-up on the hair, baking soda clarifies and helps to keep your hair free of dandruff.
Also its very cheap!
