Vinegar shines your hair

Hair conditioning has become part of our lives as its benefits is widely known and often it is used together with the shampoo. For convenience, conditioners are also included in the shampoo. There were some who suggests to condition your hair more regularly than shampoo, especially if you frequent swimming in high chlorine-containing pools. In this post, I would like to focus on the use of vinegar on our hair. Hope you can test it out and give me your feedback.

Vinegar is not only beneficial for health when consumed, it also helps people to cope with oily hair and in addition, it makes your hair shine and helps to remove all the old residue from shampoo, conditioner and even hair spray.

As vinegar gives of a strong smell, you might like to take some measures to handle it properly. Before use, dilute the vinegar with water 1:1. Wet your hair with water before you pour the vinegar on your hair at the sink. Then rinse with water again and shampoo your hair. If you like to prepare and contain the diluted vinegar in advance, you can store it in a glass bottle.

Many would reccomend the natural vinegar and I totally agree with them. To play safe, start with apple cider vinegar. For creamy alternative, you can use salad dressing (eg Miracle Whip), but use this once a week; simply apply the cream to dry hair and leave it on for 30 minutes before shampooing thoroughly.

Caution:
Be extra careful not to let the vinegar gets into your eyes. It can sting really badly. But if that happens, rinse your eyes immediately with lots of water and seek the doctor if the pain persist. Your eyes are more important than your hair!!
