How to Use Baking Soda for Faster Hair Growth?

Are you concerned about the growth rate of your hair is less than average?. Well, I did face this kind of problems throughout my life.

Fasten your hair growth using baking soda shampoo and yes, it is possible!

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a natural mineral which has long been recognized and extensively used. In short, it is one of those harmless chemicals.

Using it with apple cider vinegar is one of the best methods for hair growth. Almost everyone keeps baking soda in their kitchen.

This common ingredient can be used for numerous purposes: cleaning, cooking, and so on. Also, baking soda has many therapeutic effects and health benefits.

In fact, it can prevent hair loss and stimulate hair growth. It acts as a natural shampoo since it can clean the hair, and as a conditioner because it makes the hair soft.

Now we move on to how this inexpensive ingredient works:

1. It can absorb excess oil from your scalp and make it absolutely grease-free. It basically works as a dry shampoo and keeps the scalp free of oil and grime.
2. As the scalp becomes unsoiled with baking soda shampoo, the locks also turn squeaky clean.
3. While cleansing the scalp, it also sucks out those white flakes i.e. dandruff completely.
4. It does not rip the natural moisture off our scalp and hair. So, you do not develop dandruff anymore. Also, hair remains soft and manageable always.
5. As the high pH of baking soda clarifies your scalp from dandruff and all sorts of chemicals, you experience less or even zero itchiness, which eventually reduces hair fall to a huge extent.
