Happy Humpday babes! Yay for being halfway through the week already! I have a busy Thursday and Friday so I'm hoping the rest of my week will go by quickly. I'll be completely MIA from the computer on Friday (which is a nice change of pace since I'm usually sitting in front of a computer all day) to do an all day video shoot of some drink recipes for our website so hopefully I'll be able to get some behind the scenes footage to share with you all! Tomorrow we have to go set up for the shoot so that means I'm stuck driving two days this week but it should be fun so I won't complain!

I wanted to share with you all some diy hair treatments for removing build up. I'm not really one who puts a lot of product in my hair, I rarely use hairspray and the only thing I usually put in after washing my hair is "It's a 10". However when I know I'm going to need my hair to hold for awhile (like this weekend for the concert and then the wedding) I use Paul Mitchell Soft Sculpting Spray and cross my fingers. Unfortunately no matter what hair spray I use my hair usually doesn't hold all night, especially if I'm going to be outside in the heat and humidity of Florida. I'll admit, I probably sprayed a little more than usual in my hair this weekend and it held for awhile but I've noticed a lot of product buildup in my hair that no matter how many times I wash it, it just isn't coming out. Since I don't use a lot of product I never felt the need to go out and buy a clarifying shampoo however if I did I'd probably go with this one or this one but instead I did some research on at home treatments you can make with stuff you probably already have on hand!

This first one is SUPER difficult. I mean 2 ingredients, mixed together and massaged on difficult. So here we go:

1/3 cup baking soda
4 tablespoons water

Directions:
Mix together until it’s a paste. Then massage into your hair.
 Leave it for 10-15 minutes then rinse and wash as usual

Yup, this one is as simple as that!

{Excuse the lighting, a storm rolled in before I was done blow drying so it got darker out}

The second one is a bit more abrasive so I wouldn't do it regularly but it's nice to do once a month or so to get rid of that build up and restore shine:

3 tablespoons of coarse sea salt
2 tablespoons of shampoo (I recommend a clear shampoo just to keep it ligher)
1 teaspoon of coconut oil

Directions:
Mix together
Massage into scalp gently for 3-5 minutes
Rinse (I rinsed twice just to make sure I got all the salt out)

And that's it! Both of these are super simple and can be done with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! How do you erase build up from your hair?

 {Yes my balayage is still there in the second picture. The storm made it so I had to use the flash so it's harder to see them not in natural lightning. Which reminds me, I could use a good touch up!}
