Just mix 1/3 cup of baking soda and 4 Tablespoons of water into a paste, apply it to your hair, leave it for 10-15 minutes, and then wash it out and wash your hair as usual. The 1/3 cup mixture is the amount needed for shoulder length hair. I started with this amount and only covered about half my hair. I made another batch (for a total of 2/3 cup of baking soda and 8 Tablespoons of water) and it covered my shoulder-blade length hair nicely. The website I got the recipe from said you could start with either wet or dry hair, but since she started with dry hair, so did I.
My results: After washing it off in the shower, I noticed that my hair didn't seem to absorb my shampoo and conditioner as well as it normally did, no matter how much I applied. I worried that my hair would end up being more unruly than normal, simply because it hadn't gotten the moisture it needed from my conditioner. To my surprise, my hair felt just as clean and soft as it normally did after being washed. I would say that it did not live up to its reputation of a miracle cure for frizzy hair, but you could save some money by applying it before your shower so you can use less shampoo or conditioner.
An additional method that I have not tried but I encourage you to try is a mixture of 1/2 cup of malt vinegar, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/4 cup of lime or lemon juice. Follow the same directions, leaving it in your hair for 10-15 minutes then follow with your normal hair washing regiment. Let me know what your results are!
