I pray that your realm of influence will help to pass the Cottage Food laws for those folks that wish to sell bakery items from their kitchens. I'm sure you did just fine with your high level tour. Have a great day.

In recent years, I've tried the baking soda as shampoo and vinegar as rinse, but even though the baking soda works better than I would have ever thought, my hair does tend to get matted if I'm washing it in a sink, and I tend to damage (stretch or break) it while trying to detangle. I suspect I wouldn't have that problem in the shower, but don't tend to have those kitchen (food) ingredients handy in the bathroom. The only reason I had the courage to try a baking soda solution was because I thought the vinegar would undo any damage. But I was truly surprised that except for a couple of mats, it didn't damage my hair. (If I had short hair, it wouldn't be a problem.)

I used them separately, so they wouldn't fizz. I'm wondering what would happen if I used them together.

I've also used olive oil as a deep conditioner occasionally in the past, especially in the summer. But it usually requires two washings to get it out, unless I'm just going over it with a light layer over the driest top layer.

I like the idea of using simple food-grade ingredients instead of chemicals packaged in plastic bottles.

(But I won't use eggs or dairy products on my hair, since I don't buy them to eat.)
