The simplest, easiest, and the most beneficial hair care hacks are those that are readily available in your kitchen. Ones that you should totally make use of for healthy, luscious hair. And one of these ingredients is our humble baking soda.
1. Rids Your Hair Of Build-Up Baking soda works wonders in exfoliating your scalp. Your scalp contains build-up like pollutants, excess oil from overactive glands, and remnants of hair care products. Instead of shampooing daily, which can rip your hair off its natural oils, try replacing it by a baking soda routine that will cleanse your hair without stressing it out.
2. Clean, Chemical-Free Product A whole of shampoos out there comprise harmful chemicals like sodium lauryl sulphate, paraben, dyes, and fragrances – all of which wreak more havoc to your precious tresses than you can imagine. On the other hand, baking soda comprises all natural ingredients, sodium bicarbonate, that does the job without leaving behind any harmful side-effects.
3. Treats Dandruff Baking soda treats dandruff right from the roots, unlike shampoos that only remove the flakes from the surface of your scalp. This desi nuskhe fights against fungi, which is usually the cause of dandruff.
4. Acts As A Coolant For Your Scalp Baking soda balances the pH of the scalp by preventing the scalp from producing excess oil or sebum. This helps it to keep the scalp clean and cool.
5. Controls Scalp Allergies Itching and redness of the scalp may not always be because of dandruff. It may also be indicative of allergies and other skin conditions. This may get aggravated by commercial shampoos and other hair care products. However, baking soda eases the irritation and pain that accompany these skin conditions and allergies.
6. Acts Like A Dry Shampoo If your hair is naturally oily, baking soda works well as a dry shampoo by soaking in all the excess oil. In case you don’t have time for a full baking soda routine using the nuskhes described above, just sprinkle a little amount of this soda and experience the wonderful results for yourself. So, the next time you catch yourself thinking about a commercial dry shampoo, you know which kitchen ingredient to bank on.
