Homemade Hair cleanser :) DIY - Kate Dillon

Did you know baking soda is one of the easiest ways to clean your hair? I've started using this baking soda mix once a week now compared to traditional shampoo!

THIS METHOD HAS CHANGED MY HAIR its now amazing! 

Hair build up is caused by using products on our hair. By shampooing we do not clear this problem but mearly add to it more!! 

I’m a completly DIY since my hair is so damaged from the bleech in my hair. I've been trying to avoid the nasty chemicals in most hair treatments.  They may leave your hair feeling sliky smooth but are they actually helping your hair? 

• sodium Sodium Lauryl
• Parabens 
• Fragrance
• These are three of the worst ingredients, but are in most shampoos!!! 

When we think fragrance  we think of the smell, strawberries, fruits or even something delicious. This word can actually mean nearly 4000 harsh chemicals! 

I tried a clarifying shampoo, but that made my dry hair even more dry!!!!  I then started to use an intensense hair mask with it, and that seemed to make my hair look even more dead!! I was seriously thinking of chopping off a few inchs of my hair I was that fed up!!!! 

We all remember how baking soda and vineger reacted in school in those volcanos now i simply, wash with baking soda, rinse with vinegar, blow dry, and curl! . 

That's it and my hair has never been as strong!!! My hair tends to get stripped by the shampoos i was using, I was trying to teach it to become more oily to lower the amount of times I had to wash it! 

 This is the cheapest thing I have ever tried!! 

The only negative is that this will not foam but its worth it!! 

Mix 1 part baking soda with 3 parts water. (  4 tablespoon of water - 1 tablespoons baking soda) 

I have long hair so I mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda, to 16 tablespoons of water. . 

Apply the baking soda and water mixture to dry or wet hair by starting at the roots and working to the ends.  

Let it sit for 1 - 3 minutes then rinse with warm water. 

Mix 1 part white vinegar with 4 parts water. (1 tablespoon vinegar - 4 tablespoon water) I add french vanilla or almond oil to reduce the vinegar smell!!! 

I tilt my head forwards close my eyes, and spread over my hair! 

After a few seconds, rinse with cold water. The cold water helps to seal in moisture, smooth the hair, and add shine.

Will you try the baking soda and vinegar method? Any tips for good hair?

Happy Hair Days :)
