Use Baking Soda to Clear Build-up in Hair
last updated on 23 June 2012
If you have a lot of build-up in your hair from products like mousse, leave-in conditioner, hairspray, hair wax, oils, hair gels, ok you get the idea… this one’s for you.
How to do it: Just take about a spoonful size (more if you have long hair) of baking soda and rub it into your wet hair after a shampoo. Remember to work it through to the ends of your hair.
Rinse well and voila! No more hair build-up

can i use baking soda everyday??
It’s best to use only once or twice a week as baking soda can have a temporary drying effect, especially when too much is used.
thanks for the reply.. i have last one question.. can i used conditioner after i put baking
soda??? or no need? thank you
You can if you want to, but commercial conditioners/shampoos just puts the chemical build-up right back in.
Hiya, won’t this make my hair powdery? I unfortunately suffer from this dreadful thing called freaking build up and its uber annoying but i don’t want to make it worse.
Well, you’re not actually supposed to just leave it in. Like the post says, rinse well.
Oopsies
Guess I was just that baffled by the fact that you can use baking soda that I went a bit loopier than usual 
No problem… And Happy New Year
Will this bleach your hair I read somewhere that it can.
No, baking soda will not bleach hair.
If it could bleach hair, wouldn’t hair salons and everyone else be using it to bleach/dye hair instead of peroxide or ammonia?
More importantly, if it could bleach hair, would people use it to bake cakes?
Sometimes I really wonder where some of these ideas come from…
(sigh.)
Yeah I know I just wanna make sure before I do it haha XD
I’ve been using baking soda for about a month now.
I’m impressed by the results. Hair usually very fine an
limp, now looks an feels thicker. Also add lemon juice
to the cider vinegar. this lightens hair also.
