How It Helps: Our scalp has a natural pH that helps maintain healthy hair growth. Many commercial shampoos, with their acidic pH levels, can throw off the natural balance. Baking soda, being slightly alkaline, can help restore pH balance and promote a healthy scalp environment.
What You Can Expect: Consistent use of baking soda shampoo can lead to healthier hair and fewer scalp issues, such as dandruff and itchiness.
3. Removes Excess Oil
How It Helps: If you have oily hair, baking soda is a great option to absorb excess oil and grease, leaving your hair looking fresh and full of volume.
What You Can Expect: After washing with baking soda shampoo, your hair may feel oil-free, voluminous, and non-greasy for longer periods.
4. Gentle and Chemical-Free
How It Helps: Baking soda is a natural, non-toxic ingredient, making it safe for your hair and scalp. It doesn’t contain the synthetic fragrances, sulfates, or parabens that many commercial shampoos have.
What You Can Expect: A gentler, safer hair care experience that is kind to your skin and doesn’t contain any artificial ingredients.
