Apple Cider Vinegar
After shampooing, rinse hair with a container full of 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar to help remove product residue and add shine. Rinse thoroughly. The smell should fade within 20-30 minutes.
Avocado
A wonderful moisturizing treatment for dry hair. Peel one firm yet ripe avocado and remove the pit. Mash thoroughly and apply to washed or unwashed hair for a moisturizing deep treatment. Rinse thoroughly.
Beer
After shampooing, take warm flat beer and pour through the hair. Rinse thoroughly. The protein from the malt and hops help repair damaged hair and add body and shine.

Molasses
For shine and strength, try applying 1/4 cup of molasses to wet unwashed hair and shampoo out. Hair will feel strong, healthy and moisturized.

Safflower Oil
Before washing, apply safflower oil to hair to counteract the harsh detergents in your shampoo.
