So today was day two of using vinegar as conditioner for my hair. I was wondering what my hair was going to look like after I used vinegar yesterday and then dared to allow my hair to air dry. Usually when I let my hair air dry, it turns into a afro-like mess. I was pleasantly surprised! My hair was shinier and smoother than it has ever been using conventional hair conditioner! Fantastic news. When I woke up this morning, it was still smooth, shiny, and fairly tame. Amazing!
I bought myself a spray bottle today so that I would not have a repeat of the "eye incident" today. I was looking forward to my shower this evening to see how well it worked. I was not sure how much I wanted to spray on since yesterday I just dumped it on and possibly used more than necessary. No biggie though. If I did not use enough, only DH would see the afro mess and he has seen it before.
So when I took my shower this evening, I waited until the end of my shower to use the vinegar because you are not supposed to let it sit on for long. You basically coat your hair and rinse it out. So I figured I would end my shower that way. HUGE MISTAKE! Whatever you do, NEVER EVER use vinegar on your hair AFTER you shave any part of your body. As I rinsed the vinegar out, various precious parts of my body began to burn, and I am fairly certain it was worse than the eyes. I would go as far as to say that I may never have to shave again because hair might actually not grow back... Can you tell that I like to exaggerate a bit? Seriously though, it really did burn.
In the end, the "eye incident" was avoided, but I still learned a new and valuable lesson. My hair was soft and easy to brush through, and I look forward to a shower where there are no new lessons to be learned. :-)

Adventures In Vinegar! I use vinegar in a Downy ball in my washing machine instead of fabric softener (because my skin freaks out) and it works really well!I'm one of those hippies that makes her own laundry detergent because I HATED buying it and it costs pennies per load. Hmmm, may have to try it out for conditioner too. Just tell me if there are anymore potential dangers :)
