Apple Cider Vinegar

A big bottle here runs around $5. Most grocery stores carry it, but you usually have to look in the natural foods section and not the isle where the other vinegars are sold. You will find ACV sold among the other vinegars, but it's usually the filtered, pasteurized stuff which does not contain the mother.

 

OK...I have not checked Adams yet. Maybe they have it, as they have special things there....Thank you......

Does it matter if filtered or not goes on your hair?

 

moonglow I have used filtered and unfiltered on my hair and haven't noticed a difference

 

Just put the vinegar mother directly on your hair. Here's a nice one for ya...lol

 

What is that? A wig...some sort of alien ice pack?
OK, so shampoo, rinse...no condiotoner then?....just vinegar rinse and then rinse that out? or what here.? People I need explicit directions.........

 

Just fill a glass with water and a few tablespoons of the acv. put your head under the water and dump it on your head and rub it in everywhere. Leave it for a few minutes then rinse it out. the smell might linger for a few minutes but its not bad. i never use shampoo or conditioner so id kwhat to say about those things.

 

What's it do for your hair?

 

Thats already been answered.

 

I also don't use shampoo, but I think it would replace your conditioner best. I use baking soda or soap nuts in my hair and then rinse with a bit of acv after. I honestly don't usually use the braggs for my hair since it is also expensive here. I think it's less important since I'm not ingesting it. When I do use it instead of plain acv my hair looks a bit shinier though.

 

It's the 'mother' 'Rat was talking about, it's what makes vinegar. It's actually called a 'scoby'.
It's a living culture made of cellulose and acetic acid bacteria.

Here's another...eeew! lol



All you need is a piece of this and you can start a culture and make your own unfiltered, non pasturized ACV way cheaper than you can buy it.

 

ewwww......

I think I will just buy it......
I shampoo with Dr. Bonner's Eucalyptus here...all natural...it helps keepmosquitoes away...they hate eucalyptus.....It is just castile and eucalyptus.

 

Dr bronners can be drying, at least from my experience so I think using ACV as a conditioner would work nicely with it. ACV makes my roots greasy so I only apply it to the ends but that is probably dependent on your hair type. I have fine, straight hair

 

I do as well, Melial...have fine, straight hair, but it is on the drier side....It has never been greasy...i could for 2 weeks without shampooing and not have greasy hair...not that i ever would go that long, though. Maybe Bronner's has been the culprit. I have shampooing with it for quite a long time......
They also say you cannot put anything topically on your skin or hair to make it really softer. It has to come from the inside. makes perfect sense, too.

it would make sense that something could strip something of its natural oils though. What is a good shampoo then? I am not washing my hair with baking soda or vinegar. I will try the vinegar rinse, though.

 

I find if I mix the acv with some water before putting it on my hair I don't have a greasy looking scalp. When I use straight acv I get this problem though.

 

It looks like it is made from placenta.

 

I love that soap, but I use the Peppermint. Always found that Eucalyptus smells like some terrible childhood medicine, but it's nice and tingly.
I tried it on my hair, which is also very fine. It makes my hair hopelessly tangled, and I imagine that ACV would do the same, but not sure why.

 

Acv actually detangles your hair. For those of us who don't use shampoo or conditioner, it replaces the conditioner. I have very fine wavy hair that gets ridiculously tangled in the shower, but once I use the acv on it I am able to get most of the tangles out!

 

Hm, I don't use conditioner. But maybe it's worth a shot

 

You would be surprised at how soft it makes your hair.

 

Tried the vinegar rinse last night....store bought clear one and my hair is softer today...no condioner at all was used. Strange. Would never have thought it since vinegar is used to strip things.
