So I've had this thought for a little bit. When you pour the baking soda wash over your hair you just let it sit and "soak" in right?Well what would happen if you just soaked your head in this? Like you make it in a bowl, dip your head in, and keep it there I figure for only a few minute, because too long could mess up your scalp?This would reeeeaaaally clean your dreads huh? I only figure so because I usually dip my babies in the bowl to make sure they all get some before pouring it anyways and this last time I noticed when they sat, they bubbled a little, and that means their getting cleaned.So I was wondering if anyone has tried this, and what your thoughts on it is.

If you need a good deep clean sure but for convienence it's easier to just pour on while u r in the shower then having to to the awkward act of leaning over the sink or tub.. unless of course you re doing it in the tub and you are willing to get wet... I supposed once in a while you can do a big soak... the box suggests as a bath soak but not too often because it will dry out skin. but once it a while good for a whole body clean

sounds like it would be tingly. The water would look so gross after haha.I think I might try a whole body soak someday soon.

I usually just pour the solution I use on my head while I am in the shower. Letting it set for ten to twenty minutes after using my palms to rub it in a little bit. After that I rinse my hair with cool water.

I'm pretty sure I'm not leaving it on long enough. Its funny I can stop caring about whats going on with my hair and have the patience to let it do its thing but I can't sit in the bathroom for 20 minutes, I would go crazy!
