    Default Vinegar Hair Treatment

    Have you ever tried white vinegar hair rinses? It's quick, easy, cheap, and it's good for most hair types (it won't harm colored hair, but I'm not sure if it would be smart to do this on perm'd hair)

    Our hair and scalp puts up with a lot of abuse, from gels to heat to dyes to extensions, and even excessive washing. And unfortunately, a lot of residue can be left behind that standard shampooing can't get rid of.

    I use white vinegar at least once a month in the shower. You only need a small handful for short hair, but up to a 1/2 cup for longer hair.

    Shampoo and condition your hair like normal. But before you rinse your conditioner, pour the vinegar over your hair, work it through your hair and massage it into your scalp with your fingertips. Then rinse the vinegar and your conditioner out very thoroughly.

    Step out and dry/style as normal.

    The vinegar strips all that unseen residue from your hair, leaves it incredibly soft and shiny, gives it a ton of movement, and even kills seemingly harmless fungus on your scalp that can inhibit hair growth, so it can stimulate hair growth.

    Your hair WILL smell pickly until it dries, but you can use your favorite body spray to help mask it if you're too unsure.

    I don't use shampoo or conditioner. I use baking soda with a couple drops tea tree oil (mixed into one cup water), and rinse. Then apple cider vinegar (mixed into one cup water), and rinse. I have frizzy hair so I also add a couple spritzes of leave in conditioner. This gets rid of any vinegar smell.

    I love using vinegar for hair. Doing what I mentioned above has given me the best hair of my life, something I have always struggled with!

    Ive used vinegar to rinse my hair in the past and it makes it lovely and shiny and soft, just don't do it too often or i smell like a chip shop! Plus, it is a natural killer for head lice (i work with children too!) So its a nice gentle natural alternative to the horrible stinky head lice solutions chemists dole out!

    This may be a silly question, but does anyone know if apple cider vinegar is gentle enough to use on a 5 month old puppy? My new Jack Russel seems to be itching her skin a lot but doesn't have fleas and is on a high quality raw diet. Would it be gentle enough to soothe her coat if I diluted it? Maybe I will try it on myself first! Lol

    I know that vinegar is safe to use on human infants (does wonders for ringworm), so I'm sure it would be safe to use on a puppy.

    Oh god my mom used to have this nasty Schnauzer with tons of dandruff.... he was so gross and yappy, I hated that dog. Anyways, I did my treatment on him and it worked better than the doggie shampoo she'd gotten at the groomers.

    Perming came back into style like 2-3 years ago with larger curls/waves. We did a lot of 'new' perms in my salon. The most annoying salon service everrrrrr. I am so using vinegar on my dog... her dander is terrible. She's actually a mess but I love her... sheds a ton, pees nervously, dander, bad farts, chews everything, etc... but she's freakin adorable. She'll be due for a bath soon so I'll let ya'll know if it helps.
