Baking soda on your hair?....YES!

Baking soda can be used for so many things. Baking, your teeth, cleaning around the house and now your hair! Using baking soda in your hair when you shampoo makes your hair soft and light with extra volume. I absolutely love it!

All you need to do is put about a 1-2 teaspoons of baking soda in your palm with your shampoo and scrub into your hair for about 2 minutes than rinse.
I recommend to use luke-warm water.
