Basic of Things #1: Hair

Here's a easy and cheap way to go green! Wash your hair with these easily available organic ingredient.

-In an empty shampoo bottle mix in the following:
-1 tbs. baking soda to every cup of water
-1 tbs. of lime for every 2 cups of water 
-shake them all together~  

[Why baking soda? It will absorb your hair oils without striping all of it away unlike shampoo. You need some of your hair oil to keep your hair follicles moist which keep it dandruff free]
[Baking soda work well as a good household cleaner because it releases carbon dioxide which choke the bacteria to death >D]
[Why lime juice? It make your hair shine, less static, and smell good.. Follow the recipe through because too much lime will dry out your hair!]
Give your hair a week to get use to this regime that will normalize hair. Over washing your hair cause it to go to overdrive mode and produce lots of oil. For clean healthy hair wash it everyday at night with warm water. Warm water helps open your hair pores for some easy deep cleaning =]!
This regime should work, if it doesn't then here are some troubles that you might have encounter:
  • Your water need to be soften. (Hard water contains calcium/magnesium which basically damage your hair)
  • Your hair is thick so you will need to add 2 tbs. of baking soda to each cup of water
