So, I rinsed my hair with coke...

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

Having seen a Youtube video of it. I didn't think it had done much, but when it was properly dry, it is more wavy/curly/beachy hair. I think I like it. It has to be worth it for me, cos pouring a jug of cold coke on my hair wouldn't be my first choice of hair care, but I suppose I could warm it a bit...anyone else tried it?

Thank you! I might have a go at the sugar spray, but I'm off to a cheap shop to buy gel, and give that a go. I have tried it before, but not in the same way as has been kindly suggested.

Yes 30! I told my mother on the phone this morning. She is horrified and has suggested it will all fall out, and the devil will undoubtedly capture my soul. Too late

It looks terrific.

Thanks for the photo.

No worries. As an Old Bird, I have now been introduced to the world of photo editing....

If only I hadn't accidentally posted it on My Story on Facebook, whilst trying to save it to post on here. My friends thought I'd lost the plot. It's off now.

It looks lovely.
Never heard of doing this

Thanks all. I probs won't continue with it now I know it's bad for my hair, but twas an interesting experiment.

Omg it looks great. Maybe I'll try it.... was gunna have a rum and coke tonight but maybe I'll do this instead!

Coke is very acidic which is why it can be used to tenderise chicken, soften your hair or clean the loo. The PH is at about 2.5 though which is enough to damage the hair. Hair is between 4.5-5.5 and so slightly acidic products are fine, however, at a PH beyond about 4 you are damaging the hair. Think of an acid perm. I would not use this as a regular hair care method. Actually I wouldn't use coke on the hair at all. Not worth it when there are so many great products out there that will not damage your hair, or attract wasps.

Were you blonde before..?

No. I've got reddish hair, with a blonde Cruella de Ville foil at the front.
