All natural hair wash

I am the kind of girl that is always up to try home remedies and all natural challenge. So when I read a blog post about washing your hair in baking soda and vinegar I had to try it.

The girl writing the post said that she had not washed her hair with regular shampoo in 6 weeks. Hearing this made me say, WHAT?? I have to wash my hair every single day because it is so oily! If I did not have to wash my hair for just two days, that would be a miracle within its self. I can`t even imagine 6 weeks.

I did a little more research after reading the blog post and found that the vinegar can strip hair die out of your hair. Since I have a light ombre I was a little worried but I proceeded to try this anyways.

This is what I used:

1/3 cup of baking soda mixed with a whole bottle of water

1 tablespoon of vinegar mixed with a small bottle of water

After I grabbed these items out of the cabinet and mixed them up... I went straight to the shower!

OK! Lets gets this started!! You will not be needing your hair cap for this one! 

First I poured the whole bottle of baking soda and water over my head trying not getting it in my eyes and screaming at the same time. Why was I screaming you ask? Well because my crazy self, filled the bottle up with cold water. Let me tell you, there is no surprise like cold water running down your back and not expecting it. So REMEMBER when trying this PUT HOT WATER INTO THE BOTTLE. Bahahaha

After putting the baking soda all in my hair, I gave my scalp a good scrub (my scalp felt like I had my head in the sand at the beach all day). I then Let this sit for about 5 minutes then rinse it out.

After I washed all of the baking soda out, I poured the vinegar mix over my head. Guess what? This bottle also had cold water. Thank goodness I was expecting it this go-around! I let the vinegar mix sit for about 2 minutes and then I rinsed it out.

I finished up my shower and got out see and smell the results.

OK, so my concerns were:

 1. Would my hair smell like vinegar?

2. Would my color come out?  

3. Would my hair be dry and brittle?

To my surprise my hair did not smell like vinegar at all. The amount of water was way greater than the amount of vinegar so it definitely diluted the smell. Rests assure ladies and gents your hair will not smell like nastiness!

All of my hair color came out. There is no longer any ombre. However, when I got my hair dyed about 1 year ago my hair dresser did not put any bleach on my hair. She only used light brown. So with that being said maybe that’s why it took everything out. I think this will pull out a lot of color no matter what hair you have. It will either take it out completely or make the color super dull.

OK! So these are before and after pictures. The top: before the all natural wash. The bottom: after the wash. I guess I do have a little color left but in person you can not tell at all.

My hair was more shiny, silky and light weight than it has ever been. It really took out all the wax and oils shampoo and conditioner puts in. It is really amazing how good your whole head will feel.  I did not have to repeat this again until 3 DAYS LATER!! This ended up being a miracle within its self and subtracting my time to my morning routine! WHOOP WHOOP!!

So I totally recommend everyone try this, unless you have hair dye. If you do stay on this all natural remedy I do recommend an all-natural hair mask once a week to moisturize the hair. I noticed the ends of my hair did get a bit dry but not too bad.  

When I get a chance I will do an all natural hair mask moisturizer and let you all know how it turns out.

Until then if you try this at home leave me a comment and let me know what you think! How did this work for you?
