Pickly

I've wanted to try rinsing my hair with vinegar for quite a while, but never got around to it. I heard a few things about it:
1) Britney Spears does it
2) it makes your hair have more body
3) it makes your hair shiny

Yesterday, I tried it and yes, I think it made a difference. One notable difference is that I smell slightly pickly. I thought that I rinsed really well, but I guess I could have done better. It's not bad, though. I love pickles. My hair does seem to have more body and I do think it's shinier. Could I be imagining this? Yes, I have quite a strong imagination. However, I do think there is some change. I also think that the bit of natural curl I have came out more. I could ask Mick for an opinion less swayed by imagination, but he never notices anything about my hair. Once, I hacked off about 6 inches off of my hair and he didn't say anything.

What I did: I took a couple cups of white vinegar into the shower with me. After shampooing, I poured the vinegar over my hair and massaged it in. I left it in while doing my other shower business, and then rinsed it out.

Words to the wise: When dumping the vinegar on your head, tilt your head back and close your eyes. Also keep in mind that any little skin abrasions you might have (I had slightly chapped lips) will sting if the vinegar gets on them. Before you open your eyes, make sure that you rinse your face really well. I made the mistake of thinking I had rinsed well enough and got a little vinegar in my eyes (ouch!).
