Deep Cleansing

For the past few weeks, well maybe it's just been two, my scalp has not been happy.  It's been flaking up and quite unpleasant.  Last week, I did an ACV rinse, without much relief.  This week I decided to add a baking soda cleanse to the ACV rinse.

I made an ACV and water mixture (50/50) poured over my scalp.  Then I saw with a shower cap on for about two  hours. Next, I filled kitchen sink with warm water.  Poured baking soda in my hands and rubbed it into my scalp like shampoo.  I then used the water in the sink to rinse out my hair:

Then I let that water out and rinsed it out some more:

Next using my homemade shampoo base I did two lathers.  Or maybe it was three.  Here's what came out:


First rinse - you can really see the dirt when I take the flash off.

Then I retwisted with coconut oil.  Yay for clean hair.
