living in the united kingdom, i was wondering if baking soda was the the same thing as either baking powder or bicarb soda. i can find the other two but NOT baking soda, The shop worker told me they were all the same thing is this correct... i want to start washing my dreads with the baking soda wash. any help here would very appreciated.
they are nit all the same
baking soda and bicarbonate soda are the same
baking powder has added starg]=hes
you want the soda only in america its baking soda in englwnd bicarbonate soda
some countries just bicarb or bicarbonate
baking powders not the same but contains baking soda
thank you very much, i will get some tomorrow, and let you know how the washwent. When you wash with the backing soda wash do you always following it with a ACV rinse?

NO you do not have to. i havent done an acv rinse in MONTHS, probly like 8. but try it with and then without and just get a feel for what your scalp n hair needs when you go to wash. i never hjave the same recepie when i wash, itll vary with waht i feel i need.
you should! acv restores a healthy ph bam]=llence
hairs a 5.0-5.5 which is slightly acidic (7 being nutral)
baking soda is alkaline around a 10 i believe
for proper hair and scalp healt the ph has to be brought back intoi the rigt range
exceptions to this are:
oily hairs usualy lil too acidic 4.8ish
to get oily hair to not be oily anymore u ca nudge it into range bu-y skipping the acv A FEW TIMES not permenantly only a few washes or so till youir les oily
then resume using it
if you dont use it for a long period yiur scalp will get dry and itchy
your hair weak and brittle
you might evcen get si=ores on the scalp
yeah that prolly explains the dryness on my scalp, but the rosemary keeps it from itching each week...and my hair is oily, but thats probly because i used to wash with hot water. now that i use cold water to wash and rinse the hair its not so bad. i just dont feel the need for it.
where can i get this coco butter from

do a ph check get a ph testing kit run water through yiur hair (1st npmeasurew the ph of the water as a control it should be neutral but might b[not be
catch the water runing out of the hair and test the ph
do you have any idea where i might be able to get the coco butter from, i don't really know much about it, is it a block or liquid or cream.
ill keep that in mind next time im at walmart or something. i would like to know for sure. thanks.
