BAKING SODA has a pH of 8, which means that it is ALKALINE You may find yourself
needing a chelating shampoo to deeply cleanse.. or remove buildup of direct dye
or other coatings on the hair lengths.
It's a great idea to keep a box of baking soda in your dispensary. And, if you don't have
an appropriate "lifting" product available, here is what you can do:
In an applicator bottle, add 1 ounce of shampoo, 1 ounce of baking soda and 1 ounce of
very warm water. Shake to combine well. You have created a deep cleansing (chelating)
shampoo. Apply to damp hair and massage as normal. Allow the lather to remain in the
hair for 10 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly, shampoo and condition the hair. Note that this
formula is NOT a bleach, but it very effectively deep cleanses and brightens the hair. Just
be sure to rinse very well before shampooiing and conditioning as usual.
Using gentle "lift" formulas is a careful way to begin corrections when a new client visits you for a correction and when the hair is too dark. Before bringing out bleach, try this to evaluate
just how much pigment must be lifted out of the hair prior to beginning a new color application.
