Baking soda/vinegar washing method?
Hello fellow long hairs! Long time lurker here.
I have some questions about the "no poo" baking soda/vinegar method of cleansing hair.
I was doing this pretty regularly a while back, and LOVED how it made my hair feel (I have pin-straight, medium thickness hair). But then, I stumbled upon lots of research and testimonies about how it will damage hair over long periods of time. Something about baking soda being too far from the pH of the scalp?
So I'm wondering if there are some of you who have been using this method for a while--what's your input/results? Is it really that important to use pH-balanced cleansing methods?
Right now I'm shampooing every 2-3 days and then doing a bs/acv wash every week or two.
