^me too.....maybe tomorrow in the evening......my husband HATES the smell of vinegar so I will have to use shampoo afterwards I think, like Maria said-
Are there other benefits besides a deep cleansing/removing any buildup??
I guess I will google it.....

I tried a deep conditioning overnight treatment on my hair last night.....KMS moist repair.... I really can't tell any difference....
I want my hair to be as soft and shiny and healthy as it looks right after dying it...everyday....
I just can't figure out how to get it that way:)
 
^ You will definitely see a huge difference after using the vinegar :D Trust me on this one! I've tried everything on my hair imaginable (all kinds of shampoos, conditioners, leave on, hot oils, etc.) and while they all work well for a period of time, after a while my hair becomes immune to it and just becomes dull and not as shiny because of build up. Vinegar takes care of that in the greatest way..it's like a rebirth for your hair.

^Why? was the experiment not going well? I bet your hair looks and feels amazing now though :D
Click to expand...

I just got jealous of my boyfriend coming out of the shower smelling like passion fruit :)

My hair doesn't feel that much different-could it be that my shampoo costs .97 cents?
 
My partner and I stayed at my parents' place the other night. Mum has some rosemary-scented shampoo (to which I helped myself of course =D) and my hair smelt sooo lurvely afterwards! <3
It smelt very similar to tea tree oil.
 
I tried the vinegar- :)
My hair feels better than it did the last couple days.....
But it isn't very shiny and its heavy so I think I need to do it again.
I didn't leave it on more than a minute though so I am going to try the 2-3minutes......
About how much do you use?
I used 1/4 cup-
I have long thick hair so I am not sure that was enough?
In the shower my roots felt oily so I think it was working- I just may need to try again.....

N3o- Rosemary shampoo.....I love rosemary mint shampoos.....St. Ives used to have shampoo and conditioners - they had a hair repair conditioner that was rosemary mint.....I miss that stuff.
 
Okay girlies, I need your help.

My skin is terrible at the moment, I'm pretty sure it's hormonal-related. But my face is covered in subcutaneous blemishes and it looks and feels awful. My skin is pretty oily due to the climate (it's finally starting to cool down a bit here though) so does anyone have any good products to control the oiliness?

I'm currently using Dove soap, followed by a toner, then Nivea moisturiser. I scrub using a Clearasil facial scrub but I suspect I was doing this too often? So I've cut back on that...

Help meeee!!
 
Cutting out the soap is only as crazy an idea as cutting out shampoo ;) :D
Do I cleanse with anything then? Instead of soap?
 
A lot of people swear by no soap. I, on the other hand, swear by Dove soap. ;)

I would say if anything cut out the toner. It can be drying and irritating even though you use moisturizer. And definitely limit the face scrub to once or twice a week max.
 
I didn't wash my hair this morning. I normally wash it daily.
I don't like how it feels. Will I get past it? (lol)
 
From the sounds of other's experiences, yes you will get past it! Let us know how you go if you continue with no washing :)

ocean, I just rinsed with water this morning and surprisingly my skin feels less oily. BIZARRE!!! I'll see how it goes for the rest of the day (it's only 11am here).
 
Yup yup ocean I use a bit more than 1/4 cup, and my hair is shoulder length and pretty thick! Yes maybe you should just do it again. :)

Also...the longest I have gone without washing my hair was five days...I felt incredibly disgusting (plus I live in a very hot country) so never again! ;):p Now I cant go for two days without washing my hair and I have to shower everyday. Mmmm...squeaky clean feeling is the best!
 
Yeah it was fine actually!! My skin was actually a little dry after only washing with water.....go figure?!
I'll try again this morning :)

I'm not sure if this product is just in Australasia but anyone who is up for trying a new lip treatment, TRY THIS!!:

It's just divine <3
And it can be used for dry skin, small cuts and grazes, insect bites etc.
SO GOOD!!
 
^If your skin is too dry- maybe you could alternate days- Soap one day- not the next?
Also if you get oily in the day- have you tried rice paper?
I always see them and want to buy them but I don't ever get oily skin :)
(Yeah-That sounds silly-I know. I like cute packaging.)
 
^I use those paper poudre thingies. I am very oily ;) I always have baby powder on hand though and that works just right for me (I never wear makeup!) Ahh the scourge of oily skin...on the other hand, we will not be getting wrinkles for a looong time! =D
 
Don't use soap on your face! It totally fucks it up IMO

I have only used water for the longest time, 5+ years I would say. Once in a blue moon (every week or two) I will do the apricot scrub. THATS IT

I get compliments on my skin ALL the time.


I swam in the ocean the other day so I felt like I needed to wash my hair afterwards, especially because of all the tangles from the wind. But I'm definately going to stop washing for a long while after that. When I stopped washing it was a lot thicker, fuller, and overall had a healthier look to it.
