Where to buy ingredients

Hair cuticles lie flattest at a slightly acidic pH. Soap and clay washes push things alkaline, which is why hair can feel tangly or dull. A diluted vinegar rinse smooths the cuticle, dissolves residue and leaves hair glossy. The smell disappears as it dries.

Method

  1. 1

    Optional: steep the rosemary in the water (heated) for 10 minutes, cool and strain.

  2. 2

    Combine the vinegar and water in the bottle.

How to use

  • After washing, pour about 100 ml over your hair and scalp, leave 1 minute, then rinse (or leave it in for extra shine).
  • Every wash with soap-based shampoo; weekly with other types.

Tips

  • Oily scalp: increase the vinegar to 80 ml. Dry hair: reduce to 40 ml.

Safety

  • Keep out of eyes.
