I color my hair so I have a question about the apple cider vinegar. Will the vinegar strip the color out of my hair? I got some yogurt at the grocery store today to give it a try.
I don't color my hair but I've never had any problems with vinegar stripping the natural color from my hair. I'd be wary of lemon juice, though. I'm told that some people use it to lighten their hair, and as such I'd think it would do that even if you didn't want it to.Olive oil and lemon juice is a good natural conditioner. Extra virgin coconut oil is another popular natural conditioner choice. You need to massage the oil in your hands to slightly warm it up and then rub it into your scalp.
That's interesting. Is this based on anecdotal evidence? Lemons are actually alkaline, not acidic like vinegar, thus I would have thought vinegar would lighten hair colour, not lemon juice.I don't color my hair but I've never had any problems with vinegar stripping the natural color from my hair.

Actually, yeah, it is based on anecdotal evidence, haha, but I have very dark hair and I use vinegar in it all the time.That's interesting. Is this based on anecdotal evidence?

Yes, I have seen women doing that. Not that I would try. It just looks a bit too messy for me. Olive oil is supposed to work just as well. I have actually tried olive oil on my hair. Just a little bit. And I didn't wash off afterwards. Quite a good substitute for commercial hair oil, actually.I swear by coconut oil. Apply to damp hair and wrap up, just like a hot oil treatment, and wash out after a few minutes. I've even used a small amount to smooth frizzy hair.
It's much better than commercial hair oil, actually. Commercial hair oil is usually made of olive oil, haha!Yes, I have seen women doing that. Not that I would try.

I have always heard this and considered trying it, but mayonnaise is expensive! I'll have to try a store brand to check this tip out.I have been using mayonnaise as a hair treatment for years now and so far it's really effective. I don't apply it everyday because I'm not really a fan of the smell. But I use twice a month followed by my favorite conditioner. My hair is softer and stronger.
Mayonnaise is not expensive. You can get a jar for less than two dollars, and it will last you a good long while. Go for the bargain brand at the 99cent store; labels won't make a difference here.I have always heard this and considered trying it, but mayonnaise is expensive!

Are you sure about that? I thought that commercial hair oil is made of re-cycled cooking oil. Just kidding. No, I don't really think that commercial hair oil is made of olive oil because if it is, then it would have been advertised as such since olive oil can be marketed as a premium hair oil.It's much better than commercial hair oil, actually.
