I have got to read this entire thread because I have 2 lbs of citric acid and don't know what possessed me to buy it!Now I might actually have a use for it!
Those two pounds will last you FOREVER, trust! 
No, not really - one, that's a HECK of a lot more than I used.... but that's interesting - I've never used Epsom before...
One thing about Epsom Salt, it's an entirely different chemical than table salt.
Table salt is Sodium Chloride, Epsom Salt is Magnesium Sulfate. So, the suggestions/uses/recommendations for Epsom Salt might not transfer to table salt quite as well.
My skin is very soft. I have no complaints at all about Epsom Salts.

. The thing is is that last week while I was researching a very high end product I read a rave about (not here) and had no intention of buying because it cost too much, it had salt as an ingredient and it had a blurb of an explanation of all its ingredients and their benefits and it has been killing me trying to remember what it was I was researching so I can go back and find it. This product has all kinds of wonderful ingredients in it and I did find the salt part a little jarring, but now I wish I had paid more attention to it.
When you mixed your citric acid and baking soda - did you dissolve the citric acid in water first, or just pour the crystals right into the CON?
I've got a whole BAG of citric acid in my closet.
keep the reviews coming!Good gravy, that's some reading right there, did you read that entire thing?
Tell DH you busy hookin us up...he can get a sandwich
Yup! About a teaspoon to 8 oz of conditioner.
Shimmie: I have been adding honey to my conditioner three or four times a week for the last three weeks, so no problem there. I get a hairgasm just thinking about the combo of the epsom salt and honey condish
Svetlana: I am embarrassed to say that I use more than what the box says to use because I have a huge tub. And, although I have suffered no ill effects, it is best probably best to do what the box says.
I have the same muscle soreness. 
Thank you ADW for reminding me...my forgetfulness shows me I need to slow down! LOL I can't keep up with myself!
Plus, apparently it also works as a chelator.
I also use it in the kitchen (actually IN food) to give 'tartness' to stuff I don't want to add additional liquids to....
Just to let ya'll know, if ya'll don't come back and update this thread, I will be PM'ing folks - good or bad, I really want to know how this works out for ya'll ladies!
Yes ma'am!
Since I don't know how or why it works - I don't know! Girl, we are traversing unknown ground together! 
It was pretty warm. It's so soft and my ends feel wonderful. This is just what my hair needed.
Alright, so I shampooeod, then used my conditioner with some baking soda, a tiiiiiny bit of lemon juice and some salt...it did get foamy and like mousse...interesting!
Put on a plastic cap for half an hour, then under my steamer for about 20 minutes.
Two words: LIKE BUTTAH.
Thanks Justkiya!
