Baking Soda Deep Conditioning Treatment

Well my friends....I'm a little late with my posting, forgive me Lovebugs..here we go:

So... I've heard, read, and researched this conditioning treatment because my hair type is ALWAYS in need of a deep conditioning. I'm slowly learning my hair all over again, having been natural for only a few months. I decided to jump in with both feet and give it a try:


Ingredients:

1 cup of your favorite conditioner
1/2 cup of baking soda
2 tablespoon of favorite oil

Mix ingredients together well (It will look like a relaxer) ...make sure the baking soda is dissolved in the mixture. *There may be some tingling...nothing uncomfortable, it's normal*
~You may need to wear gloves to apply
Apply mixture the same way you would a relaxer
Cover hair with a conditioning cap for 1-2hours (I kept mines in for 1hr 25 minutes)
Rinse hair thoroughly
Allow hair to air dry


RESULTS:
My hair looked as if I had a texturizer, which was nice...but it left my hair a little dry. Once again, that is just my particular hair type. Maybe if I sealed in the moisture with a hair butter before air drying the results would have been a little better. Also, at the time of this trial my hair wasn't completely natural. My roots were natural, the middle of the strand was "Scab" hair, and the ends were processed. So the roots took really well to the treatment, but most of the strand needed a little help blending.

All in all it is a great process, but not to be done too often because it can dry out the hair.
