Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse

Apple cider vinegar rinse is good for cleansing your scalp from every day product build up. However, it smells really bad and when using this as a rinse it is best not to get it into your eyes because it will BURN! By the way it doesn't taste that good either lol Apple cider vinegar is on the low side of pH scale being only 2.9.

What you want to do and need to know:
  1. You want to dilute the apple cider vinegar a lot! 
    1. About half a teaspoon of vinegar to two cups of water.
  2. Bring out your AUBURN tones!  
    1. The more vinegar you use the lighter your hair will become naturally. This vinegar will accent the highlights that are already in your hair making the brown lighter in some areas.
  3. Add essential oils (if you want)
    1. Essential oils will change the sent of your vinegar as well as add extra color agents to your hair depending on what herb you do use.
    2. For example: rosemary and parsley is good for dark hair, to get rid of gray hairs you may want to use sage, lavender will add that lavender scent, amongst other herbs and oils.
  4. Add Shine Maybe?! 
    1. It is said that this rinse add shine to your hair. However, when I used it my hair it did not enhance the shine, the shine was my natural shine. However, adding oils could purpose help the shining factor.
  5.  Kills Germs!  
    1. Because of its acidity it kills germs! Good to know huh many usages.
  6. BOUNCE! 
    1. One thing for sure is that after using this rinse your hair will be softer and bouncer than before. Your curls will be more enhance with each usage.
  7. CAUTION! 
    1. Before usage on the entire head, I would suggest testing it out on a small section. Some individuals maybe sensitive to apple cider vinegar. So would you rather break out on a small part of your head or the WHOLE thing? I would go with the small part. However, when I used this rinse I did not experience any break outs

My BIG CHOP experiences

Doing that BC or "big chop" can be life changing for some. It's embracing a part of you that has been neglected, mistreated, and forgotten.
