Run out of Shampoo?
No worries. Here's a very simple, cheap alternative to shampoo made from something everyone probably has in their home and works like a charm.
1 Tbsp Baking Soda
1 cup warm water
dissolve baking soda in water
Pour on the roots of your hair and scrub with your finger tips for a few seconds.
Do not use more baking soda, if you have a lot of hair, like me, you can just up the water, not the baking soda.
rinse well.
use a tiny bit of conditioner.
My hair looks awesome today! No shampoo! Squeaky clean. amazing.
I should also shout out the awesome conditioner purchased here: Maplecreeksoap
