I tried an apple cider vinegar and water solution to condition my hair. Perhaps it was too much of a change at once. My hair felt totally dry and stiff. I'm thinking 3x a week for the baking soda might be too much.
I must pick me up some of those pears you all keep talking about.
I miss you all terribly...hoping everyone is doing well.
Eileen, go here and read this http://babyslime.livejournal.com/174054.html about baking soda and vinegar. Maybe it will help you. This is where I first learned about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Megan. I've been using the same ratios. Adding oils too feels like too much maintenance for me. Perhaps I'll back up and do baking soda a couple times a week for now.
ReplyDeleteI know all the people online say to use 1 tbls of baking soda in a cup of water, but I use less than a teasp and it still works. I would recommend seeing how low you can go with it still cleaning your hair. That might help with the stiffness. Also, I still use a bit of shampoo afterwards. I guess it's our water, if I don't I get white buildup. But I never need conditioner so I don't bother with the rinse now.
