It is simple to give your hair a beautiful natural shine; just make a vinegar hair rinse. This hair rinse will remove all the residue and scaly buildup that accumulates on your hair shafts from using commercial hair products. The vinegar hair rinse also closes the hair cuticles and makes hair smoother and less apt to tangle. Adding your favorite essential oils or herbs customizes the rinse just for you.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Measuring spoons

    Preparing the vinegar hair rinse

  1. Step 1

    Measure two cups of apple cider vinegar and put it into a glass bottle or jar that has a cover.

  2. Step 2

    Add the essential oils of your choice.

  3. Step 3

    Mix the vinegar and the essential oils together.

  4. Step 4

    Cover the glass jar and allow the mixture to blend for one or two days. This mixture can be stored in the covered glass container until you have used it all.

  5. Using the vinegar hair rinse

  6. Step 1

    Mix one half tablespoon of the vinegar mixture with one cup of water. This measurement gives you one vinegar hair rinse application.

  7. Step 2

    Rinse your hair with the mixture. Pour it through your wet hair right after shampooing.

  8. Step 3

    Wrap your hair in a towel to dry for extra conditioning.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use the vinegar hair rinse that you made one or two times per week.
  • While you are using your rinse, you will smell the vinegar, but the smell will disappear once your hair has dried.
  • Some essential oils are very strong and irritate your skin if they are not used correctly. Take the time to research the essential oil.
  • Use only natural essential oils; never use imitation fragrance oils or those that claim to be nature identical oils. These synthetic products may irritate your skin.
