Baking Soda Helps With Product Build-Up

Commercial liquid shampoos and conditioners often contain synthetic silicones and silica that coat your hair, to make it "feel" nice, but leave a residue in your hair. Styling products and your own natural sweat and oil production can add to residue build up.

The detergent shampoos with loads of SLS are very good at stripping EVERYTHING (even those natural oils we want) and ridding your hair of residue.

Clarifying your hair is a way to remove the build-ups some products leave on your hair which can make your hair dull and lifeless. Regular household baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) is an easy clarifier to use.

Baking soda naturally lifts grease and product residue from your hair. Your hair clean will be free of buildup and will appear much softer and shinier.

Some people like to follow their baking soda rinse with a vinegar rinse.

For many hair types, the transition to a shampoo bar
can be helped with a little baking soda.

Keep Some Baking Soda in Your Shower

Hard water and/or residue from previous products can cause shampoo bar adjustment problems. The addition of baking soda can help counteract the buildup from hard water minerals.

There are a few simple ways to add some baking soda to shampoo regimen:

• sprinkle a bit of baking soda on your damp hair and then lather up
• add a bit of baking soda to the shampoo bar lather already in your hair, then add a bit more water and lather up
• especially for hard water--add a pinch of baking soda to a quart of warm water and use this mixture to wet your hair before shampooing, then lather up

 If you experience tangles after using baking soda use a whole head Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse or place some ACV rinse in a bottle and use it as a spritz after rinsing.

Baking Soda Clarifying Rinse

Our natural shampoo bars, very gentle cleansers, do not strip hair in the same way as detergent based shampoos and as a result, may not thoroughly clean the residue from your hair.

Gentle shampoo bars may have a difficult time removing the build-up of chemicals that has collected in your hair over the years of using liquid shampoos. The build-up may look similar to dandruff, but it is more localized and does not itch.

Clarifying your hair is a way to remove residue which can leave hair feeling heavy.
