Natural Hair Product
For Soft, Shiny Hair
|
Prepare your own after-shampoo hair rinse.
Mix 1/3 C ACV into 1 qt water.Store this mixture in a plastic bottle and keep it in the
shower for ready use. Either rinse it out, or for extra
conditioning, you can leave the rinse on your hair. Slight vinegar
smell will disappear completely as your hair dries.
For One time use -
Use 1 Tbsp. ACV into 1 C of warm water.For fragrance -add 5 drops essential oil per 1 Cup undiluted ACV before using in
above mixtures. E.g. Lavender,
Rose, Rosemary,
Sage, Lemon
Use at least once or twice a week -corrects natural mildly acidic
pH of hair
(many soap-based shampoos, bleaches, hair colors, and permanents are
strongly alkaline)and removes build-up
on hair shafts(closes the numerous cuticle scales which cover
and protect the surface of each hair shaft, imparting smoother
surface which reflects more light. Leaves hair shinier, smoother and
easier to manage.

Dandruff, itchy scalp, thinning hair, baldness

High
acidity of malic acid plus the powerful enzymes in ACV kill the
bottle bacillus,
a yeast germ responsible for many scalp and hair conditions. Every hair has its own oil can and bottle bacilli clog the openings.(Bottle bacillus, officially called Pityrosporum ovale,
is a fat-loving yeast belonging to the normal human skin
flora in adults; a saprophyte and opportunistic pathogen also
associated with seborrhoeic dermatitis and some forms of atopic
dermatitis) Scales and small dry crusts are formed resulting in
itching scalp and dandruff.Additionally, the oil-starved hairs either fall out or break
off, causing thinning hair and often baldness. ACV not only kills
bottle bacillus, but stimulates the oil cans to have healthy,
balanced activity.
Directions - Either (1) Apply ACV full strength directly to
the scalp, massage into scalp and hair by parting hair into
sections, and leave on for at least 1 minute before you shampoo. Or
(2) Use 1 part ACV to 3 parts warm water as a final rinse over hair
and scalp, making sure to avoid the eyes. Massage for 5 minutes,
then rinse with warm water.

Warts

Try this. Pin-prick the wart and place a vinegar soaked cotton ball over it for
at least half hour. The wart should be just a scab next day. Leave
it alone and the scab will fall off leaving just a small hole.
