I have fine, somewhat oily hair, but a lot of it not thin. I tried baking soda and vinegar. I only use shampoo if my hair feels greasy. In between washes I just soak my hair in water and do rosemany oil massages. After using the Almond oil liquid Castille I condition I rince for almost 1 minute in very cold water. My hair is super full and bouncy. Next time Im diluting it though.
I only use a comb or brush once every 3 days. Have you ever heard of miracle water? You might have to adjust it to your local water. I have been water only washing with this mixture for a couple weeks now and my hair has felt very nice and the grease is finally fading with the use of a boar bristle brush twice daily, as well.
I kept thinking that my scalp is still adjusting to no poo. It felt that my hair was dirty and had no shine or body. My hair loved it too. Once in a while I do avocado oil hair mask and leave it for few hours and wash with my shampoo bar. First let me tell you a little about myself.
I have a cosmetology degree in Virginia and California. At that time, it took hours of school to qualify to take the licensing exam. I also have my certificate through Redken Scientific. We studied the chemistry biology of hair and skin. This certification process took hours. So I know a tiny bit about hair if I can remember back that far smile emoticon.
Hair and skin have a natural ph of 4. Sodium bicarbonate has a ph of about 8. Okay so the hair shaft itself has three layers, the madulla or the core, the cortex is the next layer and the cuticle that are like fish scales on the outside layer. If they are roughed up, they expose the next layer of the shaft cortex that contains the pigment that makes up your hair color.
The cuticle is very sensitive, more so in lighter colored hair or fine hair just wetting your hair opens up the cuticle slightly. So maybe you can imagine what baking soda does to these poor little scales.
And I second thought, not out of the salon but out of the kitchen …. Your hair is made up of keratin which is a protein…hmmmmm. Right away I noticed that my hair was falling out more than usual. It was the baking soda that was causing this, and even though it caused hair fall out, I tried sticking to it not for very long because it cleaned my hair and took away the excess oil — I have very oily hair. Since then, I have stopped using it and am on a quest to find something that will help balance my hair.
I am not happy. I not only have oily hair but it smells too. I know I will find the right solution in time. It will just take more research. If so many people have succeeded. I will succeed too. The baking soda was hurting my hair and making it fall out.
It is hurting you. Just search for a better way. I too started with baking soda and AVC rinse, but my hair never completely adjusted. They lather, smell nice, and clean my fine, oily hair better than the baking soda did. I read about this several months ago and my hair has not looked this good in years. I have aging, thinning dry hair which always looked frizzy. I now use only VO5 once or twice a week.
My hair is fuller, grows faster, breaks less and is not frizzy. Baking soda is meant as a cleaner, not for your body. Just use a clarifying shampoo. You scrub your tub with baking soda, not your hair or face. I really have a need to say this. You actually can use 1 or more eggs mixed with honey as shampoo. I use this once a week and it is really great for hair Except when i henna my hair, because henna can be used to remove the extra oils from the hair, and I have really dry hair , I also use apple cider for rinse, and also some tea cuz it really can be great for hair.
Heeey, I washed my hair with baking soda about 2 years ago and the second I did it fried my hair horribly. Since then I have had multiple buzz cuts but my hair still seems to be damaged and thinning. Its been insanely thin for 2 years, density completely different. Can baking soda cause permanent hair thinning and damage or is this not possible?
I have seen multiple derms, endocrinologists and everything in my blood is fine? Do not use baking soda on your hair. Hey adria , I happened to have to used to much baking soda on my hair. About two years ago I washed my hair with about 3 table spoons and half a cup of water, I completely misread someones instructions and it completely destroyed my hair.
Aloe vera is also a good option. Peppermint not only helps add a refreshing fragrance, but studies show that it can enhance hair growth without causing scalp irritation. In fact, research proves that peppermint oil is a more effective solution for preventing hair loss. Tea tree essential oil contains antimicrobial and antiseptic properties that help protect your scalp from infections by keeping germs at bay.
Add the oils and continue shaking the mixture to get an even blend. You can use the homemade shampoo to wash your hair and scalp. Use lemon water to rinse your scalp and hair, then moisturize with jojoba or olive oil.
While you can use diluted castile soap to wash your hair, you can get more benefits by customizing the soap. When done right, castile soap shampoo can offer incredible benefits without the risk of chemicals found in conventional shampoos. People with sensitive skin and scalps can often benefit from DIY shampoo, thanks to its gentle nature and rejuvenating properties. Almond oil is known for its emollient properties and helps moisturize the scalp and hair.
On the other hand, lavender is a valuable ingredient in aromatherapy for relieving anxiety and stress. It can also stimulate hair follicles for faster hair growth. In a bowl, melt the castile soap bars using moderate heat and the double boiler method.
After the soap is thoroughly melted, add the lavender oil and almond oil to make a well-mixed solution. Pour the shampoo in a mold or a caster and let it cool down and harden into a shampoo bar.
Once it hardens, you can use the shampoo bar to wash your hair and after rinsing, apply almond oil to moisturize and add sheen to your hair. Studies show that clove oil is effective in preventing and fighting dandruff and can be used against Malassezia. Add the other ingredients and shake well until you get an even mix. Pour the mixture into casters and allow it to set.
Lemon oil can unclog hair follicles and leave your hair looking vibrant and shiny. On the other hand, rosemary oil stimulates the scalp for thicker hair while repairing damaged follicles and promotes new hair growth. In a heating bowl, put the castile soap bars and melt on low heat using the double boiler method. Keep the heat on until the soap melts into a clear liquid.
Add the rosemary leaves powder and stir the mixture. Add the lemon oil and rosemary oil while stirring the mixture, and finally, add the sweet almond oil to the solution.
Pour the blend into suitable molds and allow some time to set and harden into a shampoo bar. You can use the shampoo bar to clean your hair and scalp, but follow-up with a rinse massage with some almond oil to lock in the moisture. Castile soap is a natural, non-toxic solution, but your experience depends on how you prepare the hair care soap. If you only have hard tap water, then castile soap recipes may not be a good idea for you.
It might leave you with an ugly mess on your hair, but if you have filtered or distilled water, then you should give castile soap a try. Read this article to learn more. Unlike most DIY hair care products, castile soap requires careful use and adherence to specific conditions for it to work. I like to use jojoba, vitamin e oil,, or olive oil to my shampoo mix.
Try not to use heavy oils like castor or coconut oil. It will give a unpleasant residue. Hope that helps. No Retwist for 5 Weeks: 31 Months with Locs. December 9, at pm.

I just read your article and it is giving me major hope that my problems can actually be fixed! I recently made the switch from regular and commercial shampoo and conditioner to using solely Dr. The results have been pretty disastrous! My normally full and bouncy curls have turned into strange, snake like medusa tendrils! I think I am going to maximize on your advice to rinse rinse rinse rinse, but is there anything else I could be doing wrong?
