Better Hair with Baking Soda

You might use a lot of products each day to keep your hair looking good.  And all of those products can lead to build up.

Before you spend money on a “clarifying” shampoo to remove styling residue, just reach in your cupboard and use some baking soda, instead.

Use about a quarter-size amount of baking soda, add to your shampoo (in your hand, not the bottle) and wash as usual. The natural abrasive action of the baking powder will lift off the residue, saving you money and having to buy one more thing to keep in the bathroom.

Why It’s Better For Your Health:  Clarifying shampoos can contain a whole host of man made chemicals that you don’t want to be exposing yourself to. Why use chemicals when baking soda works just as well?

Why It’s Better For the Earth: Can you imagine how many bottles we’d save across the country if everyone just used baking soda instead of buying some fancy schmancy brand? Less plastic, less chemical use, less transportation to carry those shampoos to stores everywhere. Wow.
