Washing hair with baking soda and vinegar -

Sodium bicarbonate is universal household tool, but few people know that it is useful with personal hygiene. Did you know that you can use it instead of shampoo as well instead of toothpaste and deodorant? Let's have a look why the shampoo belongs in the bin and how to make the cheapest healthier alternative.

Before we get to the facts, ask yourself, in what condition are your hair. They are always dull? Dry or straw? Maybe grease so fast that you have to wash them every day? Do you have split ends or itchy scalp? You leave pieces of dandruff on clothing? All of these diagnoses, appear to be normal, but who would think that right the shampoo is usually the cause of all chronic problems with your hair?

Shampoos contain dozens of toxic substances, some of which are carcinogenic, others can cause impaired concentration and memory, allergens and irritating to eyes, skin and mucous membranes, or adversely affect the immune system. Some of the most dangerous ingredients: parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, formaldehyde, phthalates and methylisothiazolinone (perfume). In summary, shampoo is the chemical, like any other cleaners that is used with gloves.

Shampoo is a detergent - defat the scalp. What does this mean? With shampoo you get rid of sebum, which naturally greases hair. Sebaceous glands have to sweat to form sebum, which supplies hair with the nutrients, fat is also necessary for shine and flexibility. Shampoos are degreasing and so aggressive that they dry the scalp and force the skin to create larger quantities of sebum, resulting in the premature greasy hair. In an effort to better hair wash, shampoo is applied repeatedly, causing even more damage. The result is an oily scalp and dry strands, as well as the rest of the shampooed hair length that is not greasy at all.

After the use of shampoo we urgently need to use another conditioner to artificially restore nutrients in depleted hair.
