From Straw to Phoarr!

Saturday, March 29, 2008

I recently dyed my hair for the first time in a long time and I used peroxide to bleach out my natural colour then applied a brunette dye two days later.  Boy, did I notice the difference in condition.

Like straw!

I recently read a handy hint - which could well have been here on thriftyfun. Here's what I did just now.

I put a handful of my shampoo in my hand and then mixed in approx. 2 teaspoons of Bicarbonate of Soda [Baking Soda] mixed together then applied to my wet hair. 

Lathering like normal shampoo. Then rinsed. I used conditioner only on the ends of my hair and rinsed again, then I tipped about 4 capfuls of White vinegar on my hair and waited for it to saturate most of my long hair.

One more quick rinse with cool water. Squeezed out the excess and towel dried.

My hair feels silky soft and lovely and light. There seems to be a marked difference. I will keep doing this from now on.

I just thought to share my experience with this tip.
