baking soda shampoo?

Kel · Coach

I have never tried that, but I did wash my hair with beer a couple of times.

Hmmm, never heard of washing your hair with baking soda. I've heard of brushing your teeth with it though.

I would imagine that maybe it's an environmental thing to wash your hair with it???

yup, and it's cheaper than shampoo for sure... but I wanted to hear opinions before trying!

EGH baking soda is so grainy, I can imagine it'd be hard to get out.

My dentist recommends making a paste with baking soda and peroxide to smooth any abrasions on my teeth, make them shine more.. maybe this is the concept???

mm don't know
it's pretty soluble, so warm water would rinse it pretty well (the chemist in me speaking...)
the problem would probably be to work it throught the hair...

I want to give a try to you dent0st's preparation

Thinking about it, I would think it would work really well- when I use it to polish my jewelry, my hands feel amazingly smooth afterwards... hmm! Might try it.

I use about a teaspoon of baking soda mixed with my shampoo, once a week. I read about it in a magazine awhile back. Anyway, you just mix it in and wash as usual. I then condition my hair. When I emerge, voila! Super clean hair, no product residue and my hair is super shiny. Not hard to rinse out at all.

When washing you can feel it cleaning all the gunk. It feel tingly almost. It gives you volume and a real clean feeling.

I've been doing this for years! I read about it in a magazine at least 15 years ago. I just mix some into my shampoo. I do think it breaks up any residue and makes my hair look good. I don't do it regularly, just when I think I need it.

well, I just figured out I don't have any baking soda at home, and I wanted to try it now! Guess I have to wait 'til tomorrow...

BellinaJessica · Kenneth Cole

I've tried it. You are supposed to wash with baking soda and condition with a vinegar and water rinse. I could never get the balance right though. Just google "no poo" (no shampoo) and you'll get all sorts of information on it.
