Stop shampooing your hair! Just start using conditioner. Scrub your scalp with it, bring it through the ends, and rinse well. Alternate with pure coconut oil when your hair is extra dry (after swimming, after days in the hot sun).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498684442305075364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-44587358659857390222012-07-13T02:21:45.049-04:002012-07-13T02:21:45.049-04:00Well, my German relatives like to say that there a...Well, my German relatives like to say that there are plenty of B vitamins in beer. That would make two good arguments for imbibing the beer rather than steeping your hair in it: 1) nourishment from within and 2) acquired indifference. <br /><br />On a more analytical note, though, maybe the iron and whatnot is just building up as much on your hair as on your clothes. Wonder if there is such a thing as hard water shampoo? Or, if vinegar makes the clothes softer... <br /><br />Meh, the mere thought of all the hoops to jump to rinse with vinegar is tiring.

Your hair is beautiful, before and "after." Your photo shopping skills are admirable as well.<br /><br />As to at-home hair conditioning, it might be the hard water which is wreaking havoc on your hair. So, you may have to work the chemistry a little; maybe vinegar rinse, no water. Or, this might be anathema, but have you tried a beer rinse?Cocohazenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-88802343776964832592012-07-11T13:20:49.573-04:002012-07-11T13:20:49.573-04:00I've found that avocado oil works better than ...I've found that avocado oil works better than olive oil. I used to use it all the time, and it made my hair soft and shiny. Actually the very best deep conditioner I've ever used is henna, but it's a little pricier than those other options. Nothing but a cut will fix split ends though. I've had friends cut their hair at home and it came out really cute. Maybe sometime soon I'll get brave enough to try it myself.<br /><br />Also, are you scrubbing your head with a towel to dry your hair? Cause that causes that whispy frizziness at the top of your head. Stop. Back away from the towel. Gently wring your hair out with your hand and then leave it alone.TKDMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05418672576473916125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-60544763038888358972012-07-10T23:29:37.938-04:002012-07-10T23:29:37.938-04:00My 18 yo daughter has thick long hair and she has ...My 18 yo daughter has thick long hair and she has tried everything!

It adjusts the pH of your hair and smooths the cuticle. But don't pour the whole bottle on, mix a little bit with some water(like a 1:4 or 1:8 dilution- what works varies from person to person, but it doesn't take much) Mix it in a squirt bottle, like a repurposed mustard container or a clean peri-bottle, and pour it on your just-washed locks. Some recommend NOT getting it on the scalp, and definitely don't let it get in or near your eyes. Let it sit a while..... then rinse and you're done! You WILL smell like ACV, at least until your hair dries. I don't mind it, but some do. I love that it's cheap, easy and no chemicaleyness. Oh, and your hair looks awesome. Now my hair and a blowdrier...that's bad. And I'm 4 mo postpartum, with a couple of handfuls of hair coming out each day.
