Put about a tablespoon of baking soda in your hand and then add your shampoo, wash your hair and it will get rid of all the hair spray, gel, etc. that has stayed in your hair, and it will come out extremely clean... Then use your conditioner too.

Using baking soda once a week mixed with clarifying shampoo will keep the color from fading, so quickly. I just mix a couple of tablespoons of baking soda with my shampoo. Then, I follow with the conditioner.

Thank You SOOOO much! I have so much hairspray build up that my hair wont curl and looks frizzy on the ends. I was thinking also of cutting my hair short but thanks to your advice I now won't have to. Thanks so much for a cheap home remedy to fix a big problem! My hairdresser told me to try Dove soap to get it out, I will tell her the home remedy and she can help others with the same problem. Thank You soooooo much! What a life saver!

I have really dark hair so my hairspray residue was really obvious. I tried clarifying shampoo but it did not work. I tried 1 tablespoon of baking soda in my shampoo and it worked perfectly. I can't believe the result. Thanks.

Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you!!! I've recently started using Nice 'n Easy haircolor and for some reason it leaves a sticky residue in my hair that I can't get out for love or money. By dumb luck, I stumbled across your wonderful recipe here and ran out at 6 am the next day to get baking soda to try it before I went to work. And, as you promised, it completely removed the sticky from my hair! I love simple and cheap home remedies like this - thanks for sharing!

I was very skeptical, but this really does work! I just added approx 1 tablespoon of baking soda to my regular 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, washed my hair as normal, and it worked. It even makes my highlights 'pop' even more, without all the whitish hairspray buildup! Thanks for a super tip!

Wow, just washed my hair and realized I had so much gunk built up. I could literally 'peel' it off each strand. So did an internet search on how to remove it. Immediately, rewashed my hair with the baking soda and shampoo then voila! No more build up. Thanks so much. Now I know what was making my highlights begin to feel like that 'matted straw' that someone else wrote about.

This really works. I spent $10 to have salon remove it and it didn't work. Read this and tried it and it's all gone. Thanks so much!

I want to thank you guys so much. This really works great. My hair was so bad, like matted straw. I couldn't even style it anymore. And when ever I would sweat, it was like I had glass slivers falling out of my hair onto my face causing major breakouts. I was miserable for years and tried everything. Ive even gone to doctors for help and still nothing worked. So, again, thank you so much.

For YEARS... I have used hair spray and I have the kind of hair that hair spray STICKS 2 and BUILDS and spreads like you got lice! And it seems to NEVER wash out... then becomes split end infested... Well, I Freaking "CAN'T" beleive it!!!!
This is the BEST thing I have found that REALLY FREAKING CLEANS OUT YOUR HAIR!!! I cant FREAKING beleive how "Soft" - "Clean" - "Shiny" my hair feels!!! I recommend ANYONE & EVERYONE~
As many hair products being used every day and put on the DOOZE ... should use this on a once a month conditioning to keep your HAIR HEALTHY!!

I recently had my hair done for a photo shoot and after 3 washes, the hairspray would NOT come out. A T. baking soda combined with a generous handful of shampoo did the trick. The person whose hair fell out, I have no idea how that could've happened. My hair has been colored numerous times and I didn't even experience any minor breakage from the baking soda. ~Angela McKeller

I had asked my hairdresser about what would be the best thing to fix my hair buildup and all she kept doing was push merchandise on me that didn't work. I was about to cut my hair also and was very depressed about it. Thank you so much for this idea and thank your hairdresser. WOW!!!

I was panicking because I had used old hairspray and it caused my hair to look like it had lice in it! I called my hairdresser, and he said to use baking soda mixed with water. I did, and thank goodness, it worked! I made a paste of it and rubbed it in well, let it sit for a few min., washed as usual, and followed up with condititioner. I'll never use old hairspray again.

WOW! It really does work. I have to admit I was very skeptical about this, but I just tried it and I'm amazed at the results! I've tried everything, clarifying shampoo, combing with a lice comb, and even scraping each strand with tweezers to remove the hairspray buildup. Thanks a million times over for a great tip!!!

Thank You very much for helping me with this problem. I have washed my hair everyday to remove the hairspray and it did not work. I am on my way to wash my hair, but with your solution to my problem this time. Thanks again!

Baking soda made into a paste with water will remove all hair spray build up from your hair. Wet hair, mix a paste using baking soda and water. Rub into hair well. Let stand for a bit then rinse out. It will take every bit of hair spray build up out of your hair, even hair that is washed and set once a week.

My dearest friend is a hairdresser. She confimed that the easiest way to remove buildup is to add a tablespoon of baking soda to the shampoo in your hand right before shampooing as you usually do. Follow with a good conditioner. I do this once every two weeks with great results.

My hairdressor said the best thing to use for hairspray buildup is just plain baking soda with a little water to make a paste. It works great!

The best way I've found to remove hairspray build-up is to mix 1/4 cup of baking soda with enough vinegar to make a foamy paste, put it onto dry hair with fingertips and leave on for at least 5 minutes. Then wash and condition as usual.
