Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse For Shine and Healthy hair

Here is My speech on Apple Cider Vinegar as a hair rinse. I am in love with this stuff. (ACV) As I mentioned before, ACV has many uses.

Apple Cider Vinegar removes build-up and residue from hair shafts and closes the cuticles. Since residue coats the hair causing it to look dull, removing residue gives your hair more shine. By closing the cuticles, the hair slides more easily and there will be fewer tangles. I have long hair, and very thick, somewhat wavy hair. I use a wide tooth shower comb, and the ACV helps smooth my hair, and I have less tangles. How Do I Use The Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Hair Rinse? After shampooing apply the vinegar rinse. You may rinse it all out if you want, or leave the rinse on your hair. I like mixing ACV in with my bottle of shampoo. Here is what I do: I wash my hair every other day. You may need to wash your hair daily if your hair gets oily fast.

I get a bottle of shampoo that is 1/3 gone, and pour in ACV to the top. I close the lid (Yes, I had to say close the lid, since some may forget and splatter the acv/ shampoo mix and get it in their eyes....it STINGS! --ok so I am one of the few who have made this mistake, and have remembered for future times to close the lid before shaking and mixing. )

...shake it up and use this shampoo on my hair 1-2 times a week. This clarifies my hair, makes it shiny, and removes buildup. If your hair is damaged or naturally dry, I suggest using this treatment once a week.I use my non ACV shampoo on the other days. Feeling in need of a homemade herbal rinse? Don't want to mix ACV with your shampoo?

This is for you..... Fancy Herb & Vinegar Hair Rinse (For use after shampooing and rinsing your hair) Certain herbs can highlight or enhance your hair color, as well as condition it. For example, rosemary is good for dark hair, (like mine) chamomile will highlight blonde or light brown hair, lavender and lemon verbena add fragrance, and nettles will control dandruff and is said to help with preventing hair loss, and helps hair that is thinning (rosemary is also good for thinning hair).
This rinse is made from the herbs themselves, not essential oils. You can use either fresh or dried herbs. If you have a rosemary bush handy, (like I did last fall, my sister gave me a small indoor rosemary plant), use a sprig or two-- each about 5 inches long. For dried rosemary use about a tablespoon. Rosemary is one of the best herbs for hair. I like its fragrance, light and fresh.
I boil my rosemary herbs on the stove in a pot, with water, then drain through a coffee filter. I get a clear (why clear? I just like to see my herbal hair rinse, really, you do not have to use clear) bottle, sometimes dollar stores have these in a travel set, or you can use a empty shampoo bottle. I pour my rosemary mixture (after its cooled--do not risk burning yourself!) into the bottle and fill it halfway, then add ACV to the rest.

This mixture can be used as a rinse AFTER shampooing with regular shampoo. You can leave this in for a few minutes while you use body wash or shave your legs.
I sometimes leave this in, without rinsing, if my hair needs added shine and needs smoothing.
