A cheap and natural conditioner - Real Mum story on MoM

23 Comments

Make your own natural conditioner by using Apple cider vinegar. Its acidity is close to that of natural hair so it can help repair yours if it’s all over the place from using multiple products.
Make your own conditioner by mixing 1/3 of a cup off vinegar into a litre of water. Store in a plastic bottle, in the shower for ready use. Apply the vinegar rinse after shampooing and then rinse it all out. This after shampoo rinse can be used once or twice a week or more often as needed.
Don’t worry about the smell, once your hair dries, the smell is gone.

Yup. It’s great for getting rid of product residue.

Wow I would never have thought of using vinegar as a conditioner. Always think of creamy things for conditioner but I would give it a go

That is so bizarre but awesome. I doubt my husband will try this but I’m keen to give it a go.

Wow, would never have thought! I drink ACV regularly, but didn’t think to use it on my hair.

Also, splashing it about in the shower will help clean it.

    Definitely a bonus-cleaning the shower, not a favourite chore!

  i think that i will give it a go though! we are constantly buying shampoo and it is expensive! plus when i was preggers and doing research, alot of places are saying that some chemicals in the shampoo are not good for unborn babies.

What a great idea. I’ve always got apple cider vinegar at home, so I will give it a try!

Have been using an organic apple cider vinegar for a little while now myself. My hair is definitely softer and tangles much less. Though I will admit on the odd times when I hadn’t made of my spray bottle before hand and just used a cap full or two directly onto my hair the odour lingered much longer than one would want and if I heated up or sweated it would reappear lol
