Getting rid of hair buildup.

Yesterday after I finished running, I ran my fingers through my sweaty hair. Yes, it was only 50 degrees outside and I sweated. For those runners out there, you know how your scalp feels after it's up in a ponytail for awhile? Well, I was scratching my head trying to release the tension in my hair when I pulled back my fingers and realized how much build up was in my scalp. I've used vinegar before to deep clean my hair, but I felt this time it needed something else. I looked at some sites for ideas on home remedies to remove build up. I found several sites that sited using vinegar and other that recommended baking soda. I didn't think we had any baking soda in the house, I mean apartment, but i scoured the cabinets and found some baking soda. The site I looked up recommended mixing 1 tsp. of baking soda with your shampoo, then condition as usual. I wanted to use the vinegar too for a healthy shine, but we were out. After rinsing my hair it felt amazing. The baking soda somehow absorbed the build up and disposed of it. I definitely recommend trying it out.
