If you’re looking for a natural, affordable way to refresh your scalp and encourage stronger hair, baking soda shampoo might just become your new favorite trick. This simple method helps remove product buildup, balance scalp oils, and create a clean environment for healthy hair growth — all using one ingredient you already have in your kitchen.
🌿 Why Baking Soda Helps
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is mildly alkaline and works as a natural cleanser. It helps remove excess oil, dirt, and residue from hair products that can clog follicles and slow growth. A clean scalp is essential for strong, healthy hair — and baking soda does this gently, without harsh chemicals.
When used properly and occasionally, it can:
- Deep-clean the scalp and roots
- Improve circulation to hair follicles
- Add natural shine and volume
- Support a healthy environment for hair growth
🧴 How to Make Baking Soda Shampoo
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 cup warm water
Instructions:
- Mix the baking soda and water in a clean bottle or container.
- Shake well before each use.
- Pour the mixture over wet hair, focusing on the scalp.
- Gently massage for 1–2 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
💡 Optional step: After rinsing, use an apple cider vinegar rinse (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) to restore the scalp’s natural pH and add shine.
🌸 How Often to Use
Use this method once a week or every 10 days. Overuse can dry out your hair, so moderation is key. Always follow with a light natural conditioner or a few drops of coconut or argan oil on the ends.
💫 Benefits You May Notice
- Fresher, cleaner scalp
- Reduced dandruff and buildup
- Softer, fuller hair
- Healthier roots and gradual growth improvement
Gentle Reminder: Baking soda is powerful — treat it like a detox, not a daily shampoo. When used correctly, it’s a natural, cost-effective way to support clean, healthy, and beautiful hair growth right from home.
