Wash Your Hair With Bicarb Soda and Save Money

Bicarb Soda is a low cost and natural way to wash your hair.

Simply sprinkle a little on the top of your scalp before entering the shower.

I need to emphasize LITTLE BIT here. It doesn't take much and using too much can leave a residue in your hair.

When done properly, you should have wonderfully soft and extremely CLEAN hair when washing with bicarb soda.

A perfect finish is a few sprays of apple cider vinegar diluted in a spray bottle to help condition the hair.

Warning: Bicarb Soda is an effective cleaner and has been rumored to strip color from hair. Use with caution on newly dyed hair.

Even if you only use it every 2nd or 3rd wash, using bicarb soda to wash your hair can be a great way to SAVE MONEY.

Save Money on No Tangle Spray

Once upon a time I paid $4+ for no-tangle spray for my daughter's hair. Now I add a small amount of conditioner to a spray bottle with some water and shake to mix. It works extremely well. I don't even bother to condition her hair anymore. By spraying with this mix we deal with the tangles and have a leave in conditioner all in one. All for around 20c per 500mL. It's an easy way to save money.

Save Money with Epsom Salts

Magnesium sulfateImage via WikipediaEpsom Salts have many uses. One of my favourites is as a luxurious bath product. How often do we spend big money on lovely products to pamper ourselves in the bath?

With our skin being our largest organ, a soak in the tub with Epsom Salts is a great way to get magnesium, an important mineral for many body functions. The sulphur in Epsom Salts is great for helping the body get rid of toxins.

Where is the cheapest place to buy Epsom Salts?

The cheapest place I have found so far is a Horse Supply place. At around half the price per kilogram that the supermarkets sell it for. It's not food grade but how many of you drink the bath water? ;) I bought several kilograms from a horse supply place last time I bought it and it looks as clean and white as what comes in the tiny box from the supermarket.

A great way to save money!
