Can an ACV Rinse be done.....

[NewYorkgyrl]

before you shampoo.

I tried the ACV rinse for the second time. The first time I rtied it a while ago it left a horrrible smeel in my hair. And I diluted that thing like there was no tomorrow. I used it as a final rise and it remained on my hair for days.

Yesterday I washed my hair winth cream of nature poo (left my hair feeling great) and then did a rinse (left my hair hard and HORRIBLE) and deep conditioner (my hair felt slightly better).

I do not want to give up on it but I just wanted to know if you ladies think that I will still have good clariying effects if I did it before I poo with cream of nature (greean and white bottle-very moisturizing)

I followed instructions from babyblue and she does the ACV rinse between the wash and the cond steps. I just did it yesterday and it worked out great for me. See if you can check out her regimen in her Fotki.

That IS what I did. Between the poo and the con and it left my hair hard.

Maybe instead of using ACV to clarify, use Baking Soda. That is what I use and I don't have any problems.

Wow! Okay, I mis-read your post. I thought you meant that you did the rinse and a leave-in cond. My bad.

Maybe doing your ACV rinse before your poo will work out better. My aunt does hers that way and she is fine with it. I do the ACV after my co-wash, followed by a deep cond, and then a leave-in. Works for me.

Oh ok so people have done it this way. Thanks HairPhoenix!!!!! I didn't know if this was a bad way to use it. I think I am going to try this next week. Hopefully the results are better.

Sure. I hope this works out better for you.

NYG, the scent of the ACV hangs on to my hair too. I refuse to do it following my shampoo so I do it prior to shampooing. It just makes more sense to me. If I'm getting rid of build-up and I'm trying to reap the full benefits of my products, it just seems I would do it in that order: ACV rinse then shampoo followed by conditioner.

Maybe your recipe is too strong. Try 8 parts distilled water to 1 part vinegar.

Thanks ladies I will try the ACV before I poo.

Crysdon: When I did the rinse this past sunday I did 1 TABLESPOON in 2 cpus of water. Still it left my hair hard. The smell was not there though.

I will be doing this tomorrow. It's funny that there was already a thread on it. I havent clarified in forever. I just usually go with how my hair feels and right now it feels as if it is time.
