More Adventures in Natural Beauty Weirdness!


Today we are covering the magical world of apple cider vinegar. If you search the interwebs, there are approximately 90928409382890 uses for this stuff. From drinking it for weight loss (I'll leave that to other crazies), to skincare, to hair, apple cider vinegar is quite the little multitasker! I mixed equal parts filtered water and apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle, and I got to major work.

First, I covered hair work. Apple cider vinegar is a great clarifying agent, and it supposedly will help your hair grow by de-gunking (Yeah, so not a word. Whatevs.) your hair follicles and getting your oil glands on your scalp to work better. Yay for all of that nonsense! I sprayed this on after shampooing, left on for five minutes, rinsed, and then did a light conditioner, which I rinsed immediately. The result? I'm totally into it! My hair felt shiny and healthy. I'll probably do this once a week. I did read that it can strip color out of hair, so watch out for that mess.

My next experiment was on my face. ACV (That's what the cool kids say!) can also be used to treat acne. Word is that it helps balance the PH levels (whatever the eff that means) naturally. I use it after my other hippie face concoction (the one with the Dr. Bronner's and the Obagi with the Clarisonic brush), and I'm sold...So far! I'll let you guys know if anything crazy happens. Once again, if you have sensitive skin, you might want to use a weaker concoction. I'm not a doctor. I don't know anything!

If you guys give this a try, let me know how you like it!
