Wash Hair without Shampoo??? Does it work?

Baking Soda

Hhmm. What is baking soda? For as long as i can remember, I thought baking soda is just for baking cakes. Washing hair with baking soda just never ever crosses my mind.

So what is baking soda? Is it the same with baking powder? What Is the Difference Between Baking Soda & Baking Powder?
Answer: Both baking soda and baking powder are leavening agents, which means they are added to baked goods before cooking to produce carbon dioxide and cause them to 'rise'. Baking powder contains baking soda, but the two substances are used under different conditions.

Then does it actually make our hair rise ah when we wash our hair???? My friend can't stop laughing when i question this....

The recipe: Baking Soda Mix:

Before showering, combine one tablespoon baking soda with one cup warm or hot water in a plastic bottle and shake thoroughly. Work into the hair and comb through. Rinse thoroughly.

My review:
The last time that after washing my hair, with my hair feeling clean, really light and volume was at the saloon, and I have to pay them to do so.
Trying this solution really making me have doubts. Again, aren't baking soda suppose to just bake cakes???? ha? ha? ha?

Well no, while rinsing, I can already hear and feel the squeaky sound on my scalp. After blow drying my hair, my hair feels so light and so squeaky clean, just as if I have just walk out from the saloon. Furthermore, dandruff s are GONE!!!! Yuppie. And yet I thought this is gonna be short lived, but when I wake up in the morning, my hair still feels so clean and light and Soft!!

Wow! Real good start from using baking soda. After searching through the net, there are also loads of stuff to clean all sorts of stuff. Will try out some recipes and post later.

Oh by the way, the cost of the mix, less than 10 cents!

(A ArmandHammer brand baking sode cost about RM10.50 at Mercato supermarket for about 900gm.)

Oh ya, now I can say bye bye to Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) permanently!!!
