That looks extremly even for Russia . Also , they both don ' t look like Russians . May be Georgians . <| sep |> I just got my ready to pick up email from Toys R US . Hopefully yours is good too ! !<| sep |> Some other users already explained it very well in the comments . I ' d like to add to it that some people actually depend on high pH or heat for ultimate maintenance on healthy hair . For these people , baking soda could be a holy grail . Low porosity hair is so incredibly healthy and strong it won ' t loose moisture quickly but it won ' t allow it to enter very easy either . Using heat or pH will help to lift the cuticle and allow moisture in . With the ACV rinse it ' s closed again . These people could also go for weeks or months without needing to add moisture again . This is why baking soda is so popular , because for some people it works better than all these neutral pH products . They need stronger products , so they have a better experience once they use baking soda . For the majority however unfortunately baking soda may be damaging . This is why I ' m usually very cautious and try to warn people about the risks of using baking soda . It could be someones holy grail , but if it goes wrong the damage is much worse .
