Is it good to wash your hair with baking soda?

The role of baking soda can be said to be very wide. We know that it can be used to brush teeth, and there is also a toothpaste specially made with baking soda, which is very effective. In addition, some people use baking soda to wash their hair, but is it good to use baking soda to wash your hair? Yes, you can. You can use baking soda and white vinegar to wash your hair, which can remove the grease in your hair and also has a certain effect in preventing hair loss.

White vinegar itself has certain degreasing and anti-hair loss effects, and many girls use white vinegar to wash their hair. The main ingredient of baking soda is sodium hydrogen phthalate. When it is dissolved in water, it becomes weakly alkaline and has a very strong degreasing ability. Washing your hair with baking soda water can help remove the grease on the hair, and using baking soda + white vinegar to wash your hair is more effective. It not only solves the problem of oily hair, but also has a certain anti-hair loss effect.

Baking soda shampooing steps

One tablespoon of baking soda mixed with 250 ml of water. One spoon of white vinegar with 250 ml of water. (One spoonful is 15ml)

Wet your hair, then pour the baking soda solution of the above concentration evenly on the roots of your hair (because the roots of your hair contain the most oil), and massage your scalp. Then pour it on your hair and smooth it out with your hands. In fact, it is very easy to detangle your hair. It won’t make your hair stick together into clumps that can’t be pulled apart like some shampoos.

After about a minute, rinse your hair clean.

Then spray the vinegar solution thoroughly on your hair. This not only neutralizes the remaining weak alkaline solution, but also makes the hair soft and docile. I have naturally curly hair, and after using vinegar as a conditioner my hair became very straight and resilient.

Finally, wash off the vinegar.

This method actually replaces regular shampoo with baking soda water and regular conditioner with vinegar. The effects of shampooing and conditioning are not much different, and it is more natural and does not damage the hair!
