ACV Rinse=BEST FREIND




I tried an ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) rinse the other day after my shampoo, the Sunshyne way, and I've realized what I've been missing! It does make your hair hold moisture better, it makes it smooth, and makes it have a natural shine.
I used:
1/4 cup of ACV and 2 cups of water in a applicator bottle, shaken, not stirred...LOL.

I finished my shampoo, DC, and for the final rince, after rinsing out my DC, I squirted the ACV rinse all over my hair from root to tip. I started at the top of my head going down. I squeezed the excess off through the ends and then rinsed with lukewarm water.
Here are some pros and cons, thanks Sunsyne :):

Pros:
- stimulates hair follicles
- hair takes longer to dry (indicates that your hair is healthier)
- holds moisture better
- hair is smoother since cuticles are now tighter and laying flat
- more shine

Cons:
- you may smell like vinegar if you dont use something in your hair afterwards (your leave-ins should take away the smell)
- stiff, hard hair IF you dont use the right amount of ACV and water. The ACV has to be diluted.

*You can find it at any local grocery store.

Hope you try it and like it too, let me know!
