I read an article about someone putting baking soda in with their shampoo. I've started doing it and was wondering if anyone else does this and what results they get.
Okay, I thought that's what it was supposed to do. I only wash my hair twice a week, so I do it both times. I have noticed my hair has a better texture. It's usually too soft and wispy the first day or so after I was it. Since I've been using baking soda, it feels great.
Yeah. I have a lot of hair so I use maybe a tablespoon? My hair feels kind of weird after, but not in a bad way. Oddly enough, I've noticed few split ends.
You should try using shampoo 2 from Paul Mitchell instead. This product will keep your hair in a conditioned, healthy state. Also if you use drug store shampoos, you get more build up.

I've heard that you can "Bleach" your hair with baking soda... I tried it some months ago and it didn't work with me.
