Oh No!: No job= no money for hair products!

Well here's the deal guys, I have been unemployed since May and my funds are pretty much down to nothing. And right now, I am almost out of hair products! I am freaking out. My hair is getting dry and unmanageable and just overall unhappy!!!

But I figured out a way to remedy that situation: HOMEMADE PRODUCTS!!!!

I've been looking on blogs and through search engines for product recipes and I've found some that might be promising.  Since I'm a broke/unemployed person I have the benefits of getting on the bridge card. They give me more than enough money for food. So that leaves a some funds left over to buy some supplies at the grocery store!  I have already bought some olive oil, eggs, apple cider vinegar, honey, and coconut milk so I'm going to try the recipes that include those first. I will tell you how it goes!

Here are some recipes that I am thinking of trying!

Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse
Vinegar rinses can do wonders for the hair! They are great at removing the residue and build-up left on the hair that come with regular use of styling products, which cause the hair to look and feel dull and lifeless. Vinegar also cuts through excess oils, which sometimes give the hair a waxy feeling. The result is soft and shiny hair that is manageable and has tons of body.

• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup water

Mix ingredients together and use as a final rinse after shampooing. Be sure to distribute this mixture throughout your hair evenly for complete coverage. Leave on for two to three minutes and then rinse with cold water. What a cinch! Use bi-weekly as a hair clarifying treatment. Take care to avoid getting this treatment in your eyes. It does sting.
