How to Make Apple Cider Vinegar, Orange and Bergamot Hair Rinse
Apple cider vinegar, orange and bergamot hair rinse is a very simple homemade hair rinse that is good for all hair types, though it will work especially well on greasy and oily hair, as the apple cider vinegar and orange oil are fairly powerful astringents that will help remove excess sebum from the scalp and hair. Homemade shampoos and hair rinses can save you quite a bit of money, as well, over buying expensive commercial products, which often contain potentially harmful additives and preservatives. This recipe makes enough hair rinse for about two applications for shoulder-length hair. Does this Spark an idea?
