Homemade Baking Soda Shampoo
To make this shampoo, mix 1 part baking soda with 3 parts water in a squeeze bottle. Adjust the amount depending on the length of your hair. For example, if you have shoulder-length hair, mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of baking soda with three times that amount of water.
Apply the shampoo to wet or dry hair, starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends. Leave it on for 1 to 3 minutes and rinse. Yes, it may feel odd without the usual foamy texture, but trust us, you’ll soon embrace the change. Once you see the final results, you’ll wish you had started using this homemade shampoo sooner. Rinse your hair with warm water to ensure all of the mixture is washed out.
Next, it’s time for an apple cider vinegar (ACV) rinse. Mix 1 part ACV with 4 parts water. If you’re not a fan of the vinegar smell, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to mask it. You can prepare this rinse in advance and store it in a squeeze bottle in your bathroom. Tilt your head backward to prevent the vinegar mixture from getting into your eyes.
Now, close your eyes and pour the ACV rinse along the entire length of your hair. It’s as simple as that!
After a few treatments, you’ll notice how healthy, shiny, and strong your hair looks. Say hello to your gorgeous and naturally revitalized locks!
So why wait? Give this easy and effective baking soda shampoo a try and enjoy the benefits of natural hair care. Your hair will thank you for it!
