Your regular shampoo – 2 tbsp
Baking Soda – ¼ tsp
Water – Few drops
Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients above. You’ll just need your regular shampoo to mix with ground coffee and baking soda.
2. We know well that shampoo shouldn’t be used directly for hair. So, mix few drops of water to it and dilute the shampoo.
3. The mixture may seem gritty and you may feel like not to use this but you must give it a shot.
4. Apply the shampoo to your hair and wash your hair like always do, wait for a couple of minutes, and then rinse well with water since the coffee grounds may not leave your hair so easily.
5. You’ll feel how clean your scalp and hair become. Now as usual, use your regular conditioner. Leave it for some time and rinse well.

Coffee grounds will also scrub off the dead cells of your scalp which makes your scalp and hair cleaner. Use this at least once a week to keep your scalp clean always.
Not only the cleanliness but it also promotes proper hair growth. If you want you may even like to soak your hair in coffee as well. This also benefits a lot and is less messy.
