Take a step back from commercial shampoos and conditioners and try these homemade goodies

Baking Soda Shampoo

What You will need:

-  A bottle or a container that can fit and pour the mixture with ease

- Baking soda

- Water

- A spoon (if your using a container)

The basic recipes is a combination of 1 tablespoon of baking soda to 1 cup of water depending on how dirty, long, or curly your hair is you may have to tweak this recipe; but try the basic one first to see how it works on your hair.

Put baking soda and water in bottle and shake, if using a container mix with a spoon.

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.

- 1/2 cup of mayo

- 1/2 of a ripen (soft) avocado

- 1 tbsp of honey

- A blender * (for quick mixing)

- A bowl

- A fork ( if you don't have or want to use a blender)

In a bowl mash the avocado half and honey  first, making sure there aren't any avocado chunks.

Next mix in the mayo and whisk with a fork. FOR BLENDER: just put everything (avocado, honey, and mayo) in and blend until smooth!

Put on hair for 45 mins, if hair is extra dry leave in over night or for 3 hrs for maximum conditioning.

Rinse out of hair completely.
