So I recently ran out of baking soda, and today I am going to wash my hair.I usually do the baking soda/acv wash that SE recommended on this site and add tea tree oil to the mix.. Is there anything (that is usually in every home) that I could replace for the baking soda just for today's hair wash?(Just a little info: My locks are a little over 2 months old, I don't or ever have used wax, my locks are about shoulder length, and we have hard water.)

Out of Baking Soda!!
I use basic washing up liquid/detergent that I dilute roughly 1/4 washing up and the rest water (in a 500ml bottle, or 2 1/2 US cups water) Damn metric - imperial ! Which I follow with a vinegar rinse, obviously rinsing inbetween I got this idea from another forum because apparently it doesn't leave a residue
Hope this helps!

you can basically use any shampoo that isn't conditioning. i've heard that liquid dish soap is also an option.
So... is there a guarantee that these methods will not cause my two month old locks to unravel or hinder the locking process? I have some neutrogena anti residue formula, I have only used it a couple times and it smells soooo bad. I just don't want my locks to stink like that nasty shampoo xD
