Yes, I have tried this and it works. I just add a tsp to my shampoo and it does the trick!

Have you ever tried it without a shampoo? Like just baking soda and water mixture? I'm thinking about trying that.

No. I always used it with shampoo. Sorry.

Thanks!
That might end up being the trick for relaxed heads anyway. I'm trying to see if I can just eliminate shampoo totally. I might end up being a subject tommorow night.

Just posting my experience
Well, I think I need to work on my baking soda/water ratio. I think I had too much water for my mixture. I think I may have done that subconscienously since this is my first time. I just water my hair really good and poured that water/baking soda mix over my head. (2 tablespoons with I think about 64 oz....not sure but I used one of those big clear plastic bowls that I use when I thaw out meat they usually come in sets of three...I used the larhest one) I let it sit on my hair and kinda rubbed it around a bit. Rinsed it out, did an ACV rinse (1 tablespoon vinegar 16 oz water) and ran through a cheapie conditioner (I didn't DC) VO5 champagne kiss. I let my hair air dry...my scalp still felt oily (didn't really get in there) but my hair felt sqeaky clean. I just put on some amla oil and put it in a bun. I think it came out alright, but I know it's def. something I will have to try again in the near future, just because I don't think I really got true results from this technique.
We shall see

I did this before and loved it! I had about 1 tbsp of baking soda and addes it to 8oz of water. I had so much gunk stuck in my hair. I couldn't get it out for nothing. I overdosed on oils I think so my hair felt like I had a lot of vasaline in it. But after putting the baking soda mix on mt hair everything was all good.

Thanks for your responses guys!
SoSweet...I'm going to try your measurments next time. See if I get better results for my scalp.

Hmmm...that does seem like it would be more moisturizing to do it that way.
I may have to give that a try as well (once I get down the backing soda/water mix of course)

Can this process work on natural hair?

Yes!
I saw quite a few threads with responses from women with natural hair that use this to clarify. Check out some search results.
