I heard the same great benefits about vineager, however I heard to use Apple Cider Vinegar vs. White Vineager. I’ve used it as a rinse to control my dandruff and it works very well (I think it even helped in the growth of my hair). I’ve also heard that if you add a raw egg and extra virgin olive oil to the vineager rinse it works even better. Ditto – these are great househould products to use for your hair. Thanks for the advice…and again great site.

Sorry to hear that, Katie. This may not be suited for your hair type and skin sensitivity. And depending on your curl type, the olive oil may be too heavy for the type of style you’d like to wear. I now use it as a treatment every few months or so and wash it out with a SLS-free shampoo. I’ve just started to use aloe vera gel.

I have to stay away from some products as well. It may take a while to find out what’s right for you.

I tried the vinegar and the olive oil approaches. The vinegar was too concentrated for my skin and turned my scalp bright red. Then the olive oil, of which I only used a cap and a half instead of two full ones, left my hair molded in place and greasier than ever. I rinsed extremely in depth as well, so I don’t understand why this happened.

My hair is naturally very curly and very brittle, so I assumed it’d work to my advantage. Perhaps I should mix in one of the components with regular conditioner instead next time.

I’m so happy I stumbled across your blog! I checked out the SOMA product line and it’s completely vegan which is a huge deal for me because that’s all I use. I’m hoping to try out this for hydration because sometimes my hair needs a little lift.

Yes. I believe it works for locks too. I’ve heard for a long time how those who have locks use a waterless shampoo or other natural ingredients, and now that everyone is going green, people are actually using less shampoo products and turning to waterless or biodegradable products. Traditional shampoos strip the hair of too much oil and exposes the follicles and shaft to the elements, which causes damage.

I’m going to be writing on some new ways to think about cleaning our hair and bodies, hopefully in my next post…

Interesting experiment. Would this work for locs as well do you think?
