A part of rinsing with cola includes the final water rinse. Since cola has sugar and carbonation, if not well rinsed out, it feels sticky on your hair. Follow with a quick shampoo or a conditioning rinse to strip out any remaining residue, leaving hair clean but adding volume and texture. Some users report that a good cool-water rinse alone will strip away the cola without using additional products; this may depend on individual hair types.
Temporary effects make it fun, commitment-free changing up a hairstyle for special occasions. A person with very fine hair would find cola rinsing quite beneficial as it gives their hair the volume of body that it needs in order to hold styles more effectively, like voluminous waves or textured updos. Since the effects wash out after a day or two, users need not worry about long-term alterations to their hair’s natural state. This makes cola rinsing popular for events or photoshoots when the volume needs to be enhanced for a short period.
It is also interesting that cola rinsing speaks to the souls of people who are into DIY and natural haircare methods. At a time when many people want to keep their routine as simple and few-product-oriented as possible, here comes an affordable, straightforward alternative to commercial texturizing sprays in cola. Some users just appreciate that it gives hair a look without the many chemicals contained in most shampoos and conditioners. It is another ‘DIY’ solution and thus suitable for those who admire such kinds of beauty and skin care treatments.
