    Sup!
    I really need to wash my dreadies tonight, going to go for some ACV too, before I just put about 4 parts ACV to 1 part water, what should I dilute it to?
    I only have salt, lemon, essential orange oil and ACV, so what possible order and application can I use the ingredients above for?

    I'd wash with a solution of the salt, lemon and oil in nice hot water, then I'd use the ACV as a rinse/conditioning soak on its own afterwards. I like to leave it for at the very least a few mins before rinsing it out.

    Ok sorry for the multi-posting... Is this your first softening wash since that drying out in the chlorine? If so you could go for neat vinegar if you can bear the smell. I never measure it following any method when diluting it, just by what sort of looks like a visually significant amount of vinegar relative to water :p

    Exactly :( Well actually I have a soapy bar (Lush) Didn't want the Deep clense to counter act the ACV!

    Aye it is!
    I don't mind the smell ;) Just don't want to smell like a chip shop tomorrow ;)
    I'm thinking deep clense, followed by vinegar, then shampoo bar?
