before we lost it in a fire.
Dare ya’ to try it.
So, having already mentioned that I hate chemicals and
attempting to live without as many as possible in
our lives…
and in an effort to use products that we naturally buy…
Here’s one simple money-saving idea in our home:
Shampoo
Here’s what we do….
Take a nice handful of
Baking Soda.
Yes, that’s right.
Baking Soda.
Spread it throughout your scalp.
Work it in.
It’s gritty.
It’s grainy.
It’s funky feeling.
It’s kind feels like ya’ shouldn’t.
But it’s okay.
Go ahead.
Work it in good.
All over your head.
Then, when you feel like it’s worked in nicely….
Take a jar of ….
Wait for it….
Vinegar….
Yes, Vinegar….
and sprinkle or pour it all over your head.
Keep your eyes tightly closed!
Vinegar will sting a bit and perhaps make your
eyes red, but it doesn’t cause harm
and heck, it’s *not* a chemical
like when you get shampoo in your eyes, right?
The vinegar interaction with the baking soda
will sizzle and fizzle.
It sounds pretty cool…
like snap, crackle and pop…
and feels so amazingly sparkly!
Ya’ almost want to leave it awhile
and enjoy the bubblies.
When you’re ready,
rinse your whole head off.
Your hair will shine like none other
and
if you have curly hair,
it will bring out the natural curl in the most
stupendous way.
Seriously.
Dare ya’ to try it.
The sizzle will at least make you giggle!
I've heard of this and read about it on multiple sites… I think it's about time I try it!
You'll have to let me know what you think. By the way, I love your 'name'. When you like something on IG, I smile. So cute.
Really!?! I have not heard of this before. I am gonna try it this week. And my husband is going to laugh at me. Love from NE!
Let the hubs laugh. You will be giggling from the sizzling too!! You will have to let me know what you think!
We really are soul sisters! We do this as well. Here is a recipe for getting the beachy look. 1 TBS hair gel something natural with no chemicals…1 cup warm water..1TBS coconut oil..1TBS sea salt. You could even add a drop of lavender oil.
Ha!! We are soul sisters! As for the bleachy look, I'll stick with my "head bling" look!! But you go for it!
do you wet your hair prior to working in the baking soda?
We do wet our hair first. I think it would be near impossible to spread the baking soda around without it being wet…so definitely wet it first!
I tried this on my boys tonight. They were not impressed. I'm next – bring on the curls. My post-chemo hair is quite curly. Can't wait to see what baking soda & vinegar do.
