Although it sounds crazy, washing hair with Coca Cola has become the new trend among celebrities in Hollywood. It all started when last August, model Suri Waterhouse, confessed that she hated how clean her hair looked, and that by using this soda to make it dirty, she looked spectacular! Her statement revolutionized the world of beauty, causing thousands of «bloggers» around the world to record themselves performing the experiment and the results were incredible.
One of the most famous «video bloggers» on the «Youtube» portal called Elllko, carried out the test by recording the entire process with her camcorder and then uploaded it to her channel to check if what the model said was true or not. Ellko indicated that her hair had acquired a wonderful texture, she felt fuller and even assured that she would do the experiment again. But why is Coca Cola good for hair?
According to experts, the famous drink has a very low pH and among its ingredients is phosphoric acid, which, when in contact with the hair, causes the cuticle to tighten, reducing the «frizz», making the hair look straighter and with Much more defined curls. In addition, the sugar helps to give body to the hair, achieving a spectacular effect.
How to wash your hair with Coca Cola? Although it sounds contradictory before washing your hair with the drink, first, it must be clean and dry. Yes! As you read it, for best results wash your hair as usual and let it air dry. When it is completely dry, you can proceed to wash it with the soda, wait about ten minutes and then simply rinse the entire product with water, without applying other products while removing the Coca Cola because it will lose its effect.
But is this an effective treatment for all hair types? We regret to inform you that it does not, this works best for women who have fine-stranded hair, with little frizz and who have it naturally straight. In people with very curly hair, it was observed that after washing it with Coca Cola, it became brittle and somewhat rebellious, so its use is not recommended on these types of hair.
It is important that you know that this should not be done many times a month, since Coca Cola is not a product designed to be applied to the hair and its constant use could have unwanted consequences. Washing it once a month or every two months might be enough to achieve the desired effect.
If you’re curious and want to try this new technique, try doing it on just one strand the first time, as a preventative measure against any negative reactions you may have.
Without a doubt, this new trend is something that has revolutionized the networks and that arouses the curiosity of those who want to have beautiful hair. What do you think, would you be able to use this product on your hair?
