Retaining Moisture with ACV

First off, I have to say ACV is the truth! I wanted to wait after a few more wash days before posting my thoughts on ACV as a final rinse treatment because I wanted to make sure the benefits I saw weren't a fluke. Let me say it was not. As I am writing this (approx 1 hour and 30 min after shampooing my hair) my hair is still damp and moist!

I use to read Sunshyne's blog and think, what does she mean it takes 2 hours to dry her hair--whoa, her hair must be mega thick! Little did I know hair density had absolutely nothing to do with moisture retention, which was what I was struggling with. After reading some of the entries on her blog and some of the things she does to retain moisture (she apparently struggled with dryness as well) I had to try some of her hair remedies out. I am glad I did. My hair feels strong, moist--OMG I love my hair right now! This is what I did (I added a few extra things to my treatment):

Boil 2 1/4 cups of filtered water. After boiling, remove the pot from the stove and add 1 tbsp of mix dried herbs (equal parts sage, rosemary, rose hip, horsetail and nettle). Cover pot and allow herbs to steep overnight. In the morning strain herbs from brew then add 1/4 cup of ACV. After rinsing your conditioner pour brew over hair and massage into scalp (be sure not to tangle hair--this brew has no slip). Allow to sit for 30 sec-1 min then rinse thoroughly. Proceed to style as usual. That's it! Magic in your own kitchen. Who would have thought?

Original recipe:
1/4 cup ACV
2 cups water

I am currently very  happy with the results from my regimen now that I have added this final rinse treatment. I need to streamline it a bit--I am doing a lot of stuff to my hair right now (pre-poo, dc, oils, ect...), but I want to continue with it for a while. It works, and if it ain't broke, why fix it?!

ETA: I have since modified this recipe to 3/4 tsp per 2 cups of water after reviewing Kimmay Tube's video on pH balance. I've also changed the herbal mix as well.  Since changing it I have had good results, but now I can use this recipe on a weekly basis vs. once every other week/month. See my updated regimen for details.

HHG!
