  1. Mix 1 part baking soda with 3 parts water in a small squeeze bottle or jar. For example, you can combine 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 3 tablespoons of water. Adjust the quantity based on the length and thickness of your hair.
  2. Wet your hair thoroughly and apply the baking soda shampoo from roots to ends. Make sure to cover the scalp area well, as the main cleansing action should occur at the roots.
  3. Gently massage the mixture into your hair and scalp for a couple of minutes. This not only stimulates the scalp but also ensures that the baking soda is distributed evenly.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water to ensure that all the baking soda is washed out of your hair.

Follow with an Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse

Since baking soda has a high pH, it’s essential to neutralize it with something acidic like apple cider vinegar. This will help restore your scalp’s natural pH balance.

Ingredients:

  • 1 part apple cider vinegar
