Instead of paying for clarifying shampoo, just add a tablespoon of baking soda to your regular shampoo and wash your hair. It will get rid of the build up.

Try switching to a volumizing shampoo next time you buy shampoo.

Edit: Use a T. of baking soda in the shampoo you are going to use that day. Don't add it to the bottle. I should have been more clear on that!

I agree - this works. I learned this a very long time ago from a stylist.

I always liked Aloe Rid by Nexus. Do they still sell that? It really cleaned all the gunk out of my hair including mineral build up from the water.

What a great tip, my hair doesn't feel dirty, but I am sure there is a lot of build up from the products I use.
