Speaking of vinegar, it’s your zero-cost, zero-plastic softener. After shampooing, pour a cup of diluted ACV over your hair and let it sit for a minute. It breaks down the mineral film that makes your strands feel like straw. Rinse with cool water—it seals the cuticle and adds a mirror-like shine.
Your scalp will thank you too. Hard water can cause itchiness and flaking; the vinegar’s acidity restores your pH balance. Just don’t use it every day—once a week is plenty. You want to fight the scale, not strip your natural oils.
