Very Informative Comment Response by umkish: The hair is acidic. For every BS wash, you will need to normalize the ph with an acid rinse.
Great Response by Aven from www.mothering.com thread Does washing hair with baking soda damage it?
The vinegar is an important part of the mix. It balances the pH of the baking soda. I imagine that if you only used BS and no vinegar that it would break your hair after a while. It could break it down chemically.
The intention of the BS/V cleaning is that if your scalp is clean, your hair will be clean too. The oils come from your scalp, and not from your hair, afterall.
I found it a bit drying, and I’ve recently added aloe to my vinegar rinse. Love it!
My regimen: 1 Tbs baking soda dissolved into 8 oz warm water (I use a peri bottle) and pour it over my head, focusing on the roots. Scrub with finger tips, rinse. Then I use 1 ounce of a 1:8 dilution of vinegar. Pour it on, let it sit a minute, rinse (no more scrubbing).

By all means do your research before trying any method.
The best alternative, find a gentle cleanser or soap bar.

I posted my experience with the baking soda conditioner DC on Nappturality. One week later, my hair is starting to feel a LITTLE better but it’s still really dry. Last night I used a commercial DC that said it was for “very dry chemically processed hair” and I feel like that’s exactly what my hair is even though the chemical consisted of baking soda and conditioner. You brought up a good point about shea butter though: Now that my hair is fried, maybe I can use it straight now, lol.

Lol I had a funny/good experience3 with baking soda I mixed it with my Aubrey Organics Honey suckle rose conditioner (which does not work by itself on my hair), Organic honey, and Apple Cider Vinegar (lol) it then began to explode, but once I got the explosion under control and put it in my hair and left it in for a wwhile Omg my hair was SOFT!!! And my hair is NEVER SOFT.

How do you get the natural henna hair dye?
I’ve been researching for days and some henna kits contain ingredients used in bleach. Pleae help me find a henna dye that is natural or a recip for an all natural one. Thanks :]

ITA with most of what you said. My personal belief is everyones hair journey will be different and you have to find what works for your hair even if you stand alone! Most of my hair idols have henna but it will never touch my head cuz through research i have found too many mixed results BUT look how beautiful your hair is. You have to do you.
So true…you never …
So true…you never know about the long worded ingredients in (yes even natural)shampoos and conditioners if they coexist well with a substance like baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, etc…
Exactly. I stick to …
Exactly. I stick to mixing my butters. The rest of my products are still “natural”, but I leave the chemistry to the experts. I can read as much as I want about properties of ingredients but who knows the long term effects. My hair’s reaction is usually an indicator of something working for me, but long term damage is subtle. Plus, it just complicates the routine. The hair is acidic. For every BS wash, you will need to normalize the ph with an acid rinse. Just find a gentle cleanser or soap bar.
