Ok, so when I first read that bi-carb soda could clean your
hair (as in, really really clean your hair) I was sceptical. To me, bi-carb
soda sounded like a recipe for dry, straw hair and really, who wants to create
dry hair on purpose. That aside, I decided to give it a go and I am really glad
I did. If you use a lot of product in your hair, you will have build up in
there even though you most likely wash your hair often. I use hardly any
product, but shampoo and conditioner can still build up and over time, you will
notice your hair might be harder to manager (frizz and fly aways) or be dull
and lifeless…sometimes, it might even still be oily after you’ve washed it.
All you need to do is add 1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon of
bi-carb soda (or baking soda if that’s all you’ve got) to your shampoo when you
wash your hair. I usually have the tablespoon of bi-carb soda sitting just
outside the shower ready to go.
Put the amount of shampoo in your hand that you usually do
and mix in the bi-carb soda until it is a paste consistency. Rub through your
hair as normal and wash out. Your hair will feel squeaky clean – literally.
Don’t forget the conditioner, otherwise you will have really
dry hair. I don’t usually need to use any more conditioner than I normally do
either.
I noticed the difference from the first wash. My hair dried
quicker and straightened much nicer. Now, if I don’t use bi-carb soda I notice
it’s a lot harder to get my hair straight and for it to stay that way. Usually,
my hair will be kinked or going in different directions before I even get to
work but if I have used bi-carb soda it’s a lot softer and stays straighter for
longer. It makes a huge difference to me since my hair really does have a mind
of its own. Most of the time I can forget having perfect hair for longer than
10 minutes.
Have you used bi-carb soda in your hair before? Did it work
for you?
Excuse the spacing on this post - blogger is such a pain.
