I tried this Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment and my hair was shiny and had less frizz

I decided to see if this really worked.  I washed my hair, used conditioner then poured this mixture over my hair and let soak in while I finished showering.

I used a slightly different recipe than below and did use conditioner first.  I used a 2-2 ratio: 2 ounces of tap water to 2 ounces of apple cider vinegar and a few drops of lavender.

My hair usually resembles the model's photo below on the left after blow drying. After treatment and a swipe with the flat iron, my hair was shiny and less frizzy, but not as shiny as the model below on the right. However, definitely worth trying before investing in expensive products and treatments.

Ingredients:
2 cups of boiling water
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
Herbs of choice - Lavender and lemon add fragrance and cut down on the vinegar smell.

Preparation:
First boil the water and then add the herbs and vinegar. Allow it to cool down for 30 minutes. After that, refrigerate the mixture for later. You can use the mixture after you have finished with rinsing the shampoo. Just pour the mixture and massage the scalp, and then rinse with fresh water, or you can leave it in and towel dry for extra conditioning benefits.

Here is a list of all the health benefits using the apple cider vinegar:

Improves porosity * Conditions naturally * Treats hair loss
Clarifies the scalp * Removes the dandruff * Reduces frizz
Balances the pH of the scalp * Prevents split ends * Treats itchy and dry scalps

My stylist started carrying DAVINES hair care products in her salon.  I used the OI Shampoo and Conditioner for the first time yesterday.  Day two and my hair is still amazing - I mean amazing!  I complain about the texture of my hair all the time, but have to say I am hooked on only one use. I want to try their other products...

Burt's Bee Facial Cleansing Oil is a GREAT product for only $16 (less at Walmart).  One pump massaged into face literally removes all makeup.  It leaves your skin clean and moisturized.  I've been using for two weeks and my complexion is looking good and acne is greatly reduced!
