Pretty sure you want to find straight non-iodized sea salt. I bought mine at a local grocery store. Not sure what size it was, like normal table salt size thing? (the cylinder you would refill a salt shaker with). Just Natural sea salt.Not sure if it was mentioned in this post but I wash my hair every 2-3 days and I do a light Salt spray every 2 days or so as well. I added teatree, rosemary, and lavender oil to my spray and it seems to soothe my scalp a a ton when I do the spray and holds back some itchies til I get around to washing. Squatting Buffalo said:

I got some sea salt last night but it says "Iodized Sea Salt" will it be ok? It was the only package of sea salt that was a big enough size. The other packages were tiny.

What happens if you use iodize salt as opposed to the non iodized?

Sister Rags said:

No, don't use iodized. It's okay if the other packages are tiny; you hardly need any salt to make your accelerator. Look in the gourmet foods section for kosher salt if you can't find sea salt.

Thank you

Haha, I can't remember..only know that we did a group effort a while back about salt, and that iodized salt isn't a good one to use.*******Okay, wait - I believe that it wasn't the iodized salt that was the issue, but that most folks felt that sea salt or kosher salt worked better. If you do a search on this site for iodized salt, the threads will come up and you can learn more about salt than you ever thought you would : )

No, hypocricy in regards to using baking soda. Wikipedia: Sodium Bicarbonate In short it is a component of the mineral Natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs. soaringeagle said:

well in that case yes it will help ya dread like crazy
make it about the same as sea water a dip in the ocean will do ya good any daywith dreads natural as can be is the rule, so as closely as u can imitate nature is bestif i was able to wash mine in a stream all the time i would (or waterfall would be heavenly)in nature u might pound the pulp out of some leaves to wash with so when u cant do that the best alternatives are herbs and oils from natural sources(i guess im maybe a hypocrite tho cause what the hecks baking soda made of? i dont think it grows on treees)

LOL Not a Hypocrite soaring eagle... Baking Soda is Sodium Bicarbonate which is what most Marine organisms like corals, crabs etc. build their skeletons / exoskeletons / shells from, and it comes from calcium carbonate in sea water!!!!!

Baking Soda, alias sodium bicarbonate, is a naturally occurring substance that is found in all living things, where it helps regulate their pH balance. ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda is made from soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate. To make ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda, the soda ash is mined in the form of an ore called trona. The soda ash is then dissolved into a solution through which carbon dioxide is bubbled and sodium bicarbonate precipitates out, forming "Pure, Safe and Natural"ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda. You remember that from chemistry class, don't you?from this site: http://www.armhammer.com/basics/magic/

I heard that ARM & HAMMER baking soda isn't that good for your hair, as organic Baking soda is.
