My last post
was about how I started using baking soda to wash my hair instead of shampoo. I
tried the ‘no poo’ method to see how it will work.
Well, let’s
just say baking soda is wonderful! It’s weird using it… after 2 months, I still
haven’t gotten used to the feeling on my scalp! But I haven’t touched shampoo
in 2 months!!!!! Can you believe that? My hair is perfectly fine, my scalp is
clean, and in spite of having an oily scalp… it doesn’t stink!
I work out
every day and still need to wash my hair only once in 3-4 days!
Ok, all that
was its effect on the scalp – When it comes to the hair, it’s a slightly
different story. I wouldn’t suggest that you go totally no poo… Because your
hair needs conditioning! Like I said in
my last post, ‘hair needs its protection’. My long hair cannot survive the
heat, dust and sweat without a good conditioner. Baking Soda cleans, but it
also kind of dries your hair as it removes the oil along with the dirt and
greasiness.
If you have
dry hair, after you clean your scalp with the baking soda, use the left over
product – very diluted on your hair. And always condition.
