Yes! A seasoned hairdresser told me about that. She warned not to leave it on for more than 4 minutes. Rinse well and follow with a final rinse of 1 cup or so of water mixed with a dash of vinegar, to correct the acid balance. I had just done that and was shopping when an elderly gent approached me and said "There is a lady with beautiful shiny hair. We never see that anymore."

This was a great idea for clarifying shampoo. I just have a warning for those of you who have highlighted hair, this recipe may take out some of the color. I had some auburn highlights before using this recipe, they turned light brown (i.e. lost the redness) after using the recipe. They still look nice, but they aren't the same as before. My hair is wonderfully soft now though.

Yes Boogaloogle This Really works good,I have been using baking soda for years now,my hair holds hair spray real bad when I try to wash it out,so I use baking soda and it just kind of melts that hair spray right of my hair.This is a real good recipe. Darlene Summers

My hairdresser just told me that I need to get rid of the build-up on my hair and suggested a pricey shampoo from her salon. Instead I came home and tried your recipe. I mixed the baking soda with the shampoo and started working it into my hair. I could tell something was happening because it smelled different from my shampoo - almost like the smell of perm solution. The lather felt like shaving cream — very rich. After rinsing, my hair has returned to its normal soft state that I hadn't had in months, and it was easy to style again. Thanks for the great, affordable home beauty treatment!

I tossed my semi expensive but worthless hair clarifing shampoos. They never did what this has done for my hair. I also added a final rinse of apple cider vinegar too. TIP: I also used to use the hair shine products to bring out my highlights, I now use just a bit of olive oil to add shine to my dried styled hair ( not on the scalp - will flatten the hair). Thank you for sharing this great idea !

This recipe is really a treat — personally thought it wouldn't work for me (swim in salt water 4-5 days a week) — but four days later I've shampooed daily and still am amazed at the improvement in shine and softness. This will become a permanent part of my haircare routine.

i recently dyed my hair a lovely greenish orange (by mistake of course). i remembered this recipe and drenched my hair in dish soap and baking soda for 15 minutes, then i rinsed it and watched most of the orange go down the drain. after rinsing, i used mayonaise to condition. i still had to go to the hairdresser and get a professional dye but this helped alot! i have learned my lesson, thanks for a very helpful recipe!

I tried this and I loved it. I could tell that all the hair styling junk I put in my hair was just melting away. I will now keep a box of baking soda in my bathroom. My hair thanks you!

I think this is just GREAT! Simply WOW! It costs pennies, the ingredients are there in every home, and it works wonders for the hair! It left my hair feeling like that of a Princess would, clean, shining and beautiful! I just made a bowl of this for a friend and can't wait for her to try it! As someone mentioned, I kept it on for 4 minutes, then rinsed it really well and followed the rinse with 1 cup or so water mixed with a 2 tsps. of vinegar(I had to use more vinegar because I have really long hair)! I love this recipe!! Thank you for sharing!
