To achieve healthier and more beautiful hair, Katherine Martinko recommends washing hair with a solution of baking soda followed by apple cider vinegar. The recipe involves dissolving one or two tablespoons of baking soda in half a liter of water, applying it to the hair, rinsing it out, and then using a mixture of apple cider vinegar and warm water. This treatment, tried and tested by Martinko herself, keeps hair clean for at least four days.
Regrowing Hair with Baking Soda
In a bottle, mix 1 part baking soda with 3 parts water. Apply it to the hair, leave it on for 3 minutes, and then rinse. This DIY shampoo can help combat hair loss often caused by aggressive shampoos, promoting regrowth instead.
Scalp Cleansing Techniques
Proper scalp cleansing starts at the roots. In addition to a scalp scrub once a month or more frequently, it is recommended to use specific shampoos and lotions. A gentle massage helps products penetrate, which should then be rinsed thoroughly.
-
Use baking soda occasionally in hair treatments, not in your daily routine. The scalp is acidic, so excessive use of baking soda can cause damage.
-
Apply baking soda to dry hair and leave it on for 20 minutes for a more structured and healthy-looking mane.
Benefits of Baking Soda for Facial Skin
Baking soda acts as a gentle exfoliant that delicately removes impurities and possesses antibacterial and antiseptic properties, ideal for preventing blackheads even on sensitive skin.
Natural Remedies to Strengthen Hair
A mask of almond, coconut, and castor oils in equal parts, applied every 15 days to dry hair before shampooing and left on for at least 2 hours, can restore strength and shine to the hair.
