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




Here is a list (from http://www.apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com/natural-hair-care-product.html) that shows what herbs and oils are good to add with your apple cider vinegar rinse:
  • For dark hair:......Parsley, Rosemary, Sage
  • For light hair:.....Chamomile, Flannel Mullein, Marigold
  • For red hair:.......Henna
  • For oily hair:......Lavender, Thyme, Witch Hazel, Yarrow

Eco Styling Gel with olive oil

  Eco styling gel is a gel. It’s a gel with a hold of 10 (which is the max). This gel is alcohol free which means it is not supposed to dry out your hair. However, when using this product I recommend that you apply some type of oil underneath or your conditioner. That way your hair is protected from the gel and its being moisturized as your hair becomes harden. The suggested use for this gel for a wash-n-go is to wash your hair and apply this product on your hair while it is wet. However, my experience with this product left my hair feeling and looking like a jerry curl…you know the jerry curls from back in the day. What worked for me was using the gel half way. For example, pulling my hair back with a band and then applying the gel to the back of my hair. It gave my hair a more polished and nice look. Eco styling gel is good for slicking back those stubborn edges and it holds it down. To slick back your hair with this product I suggest using an old (or new) toothbrush or you...

First Steps: Going Natural

The first thing you want to do before going natural is: 1) Thinking about why your going natural The reason could be anything but you have to know why you're doing it. If your going natural just because someone else is doing it, it may not be enough motivation to help you though the journey. (here's a video on why I went natural): 2) Find products that work best for your relaxed ends as well as your natural hair. This may be a difficult task because there are products that work best for your relaxed ends but not your natural hair. What I used was oils. You don't have to buy expensive oils, you can use your household products like your olive oil or coconut oil. 3) Stay away from heat! The last thing you want to do is constantly be straightening your hair especially with heat.
