I have yet to try baking soda to wash my hair but think its a good time to start...shampoo and/or conditioner has been causing me itchy dry flacky scalp..it all started when I tried the wen products a few years ago..my scalp didn't like it and even though I don't use it anymore my scalp still has problems. I don't shower everyday either but no matter what kind of shampoo I use I still have issues
I also love coconut oil very much. You can add coconut oil in your list.. Best natural hair shampoo is Amla Shampoo.. You can use it everyday. It has no sideffects..
