Clarify Your Hair

An inexpensive way to clarify your hair is to use your usual shampoo, during the first lather, take a handful of baking soda and work it into the lather thoroughly.

Let it set for a few minutes, depending on how much styling buildup you have on your hair. Rinse and shampoo again without baking soda, then condition.

The baking soda makes an excellent chelating aid. It is also advisable to clarify at least every two weeks to remove product buildup.

Always clarify before doing a deep conditioning treatment. Otherwise you will be conditioning over product buildup which really won't be beneficial.

Chelating also removes trace buildup of prescription drugs that buildup in your hair.

Treat yourself to a scalp massage, this facilitates healthy hair growth by stimulating the blood supply to you scalp.
