Many people are faced with a situation where their hair quickly loses its freshness, becomes heavier at the roots and grows poorly, despite the abundance of care products.
Experienced girls share a life hack that helps to deeply cleanse the scalp, restore balance and restore lightness and volume to hair. They suggest a method of adding regular baking soda to your shampoo.
Baking soda works as an exfoliant for the scalp, it removes dead skin cells and styling residues. It also helps regulate oiliness, dries slightly, normalizing the functioning of the sebaceous glands. And effectively washes away silicones, styling products and sebum.
Who is this method suitable for?
- For those with oily scalp and easily dirty roots.
- For those who want root volume and lightness.
- Frequently use dry shampoo, mousses and varnishes.
- Those who have noticed a small amount of dandruff and slower hair growth.
- Those who wish to gently wash the pigment after unsuccessful dyeing.
How to use correctly
- In the palm of your hand, combine 1 tablespoon of your shampoo and ½ teaspoon of baking soda.
- Apply the mixture to your scalp and massage well for 3-5 minutes. Avoid lengthening your hair to avoid drying it out.
- Rinse thoroughly with plenty of warm water.
- Rinse again. Wash your hair with regular shampoo without additives to remove all remaining baking soda.
- Be sure to apply a balm or mask to the length of your hair to restore moisture balance.
After this procedure, you will notice clean and voluminous hair at the roots that stays fresh longer, a reduction in oily shine and ease of styling, reduced hair loss and accelerated growth, and a reduction in the appearance of mild dandruff.
What not to do
- Do not add baking soda to a bottle of shampoo; upon contact with liquid, it quickly loses its properties.
- Use the method no more than 1-2 times a week to avoid drying out your scalp.
- If you have sensitive, very dry skin or diagnosed diseases (dermatitis, eczema), consult a trichologist first.
- The method is not suitable for dry, damaged or brightly colored hair without additional intensive moisturizing.
This simple and inexpensive method can be a salvation for those with oily roots and rapid contamination. It helps restore the balance of the scalp and restore a healthy appearance to hair.
