But on the flip side of the coin, despite all these advantages, there are also some things to consider before actually trying cola as a hair treatment. Since cola is acidic, constant use of the beverage on hair might lead to dryness-especially for people who already have dry or damaged hair. To combat this, users suggest to follow the treatment with a nice conditioner or a moisturizing treatment. Cola should only be applied occasionally instead of regularly as part of an ordinary hair treatment in order to minimize its negative impacts on the hair’s health in the long run.
Another plus of cola rinsing appreciated by some is that it is easy and convenient. Unlike most hair tonics, cola is readily available and inexpensive. So far, it is one of those things that will be effective for anyone curious enough to try it. There are no complicated procedures to put it on; most of the people just pour over their hair, let the cola sit in the hair for a few minutes before rinsing it out of the hair. The thing has gained popularity partly for requiring minimal effort and requiring no special skills.
Of course, applying cola to hair doesn’t sound like the most pleasant thing to most people, and a few will question its efficiency. Old-school hair experts might say that similar benefits could be achieved using less sugary alternatives, minus the stickiness or sugar residue. However, most people who have used it have been amazed at the immediate effects, especially the added volume and texture, which is hard to get from using standard products alone. For others, cola is an inexpensive, entertaining avenue to experiment with one’s appearance.
