Dampen hair and apply BSS to your hair.
Pour onto scalp first and massage your scalp to lift up build-up (do this for about 2-3 mins)
Then clamp your hands on your hair to smooth and slide the BSS on your hair.
Remember this is not a commercial shampoo so it will not sud, but that does not mean that it's not cleaning your hair!
Rinse with warm-cool water then follow with a vinegar rinse (1/2 tbsp of vinegar to 1 cup of water)
The vinegar rinse is important don't skip!! it closes the cuticles of the hair shaft that open up due to the alkalinity of the baking soda.
