Hi EveryoneI just tried the vinegar rinse that was described in some earlier messages. My hair is still wet, so I don't know if it is any shinier than ususal or not.I do have a word of caution to anyone with sensitive skin. Be careful not to let the vinegar drip down onto your skin when you are applying it to your hair.I poured the slightly warmed apple cider vinegar slowly over my hair letting it penetrate to the scalp. I did this while standing in the bathtub right before taking a shower. I let is sit for about five minutes. When I got out of the shower, I noticed that my left shoulder was feeling rather warm. When I looked in the mirror I noticed that my shoulder was completely red (like a pretty substantial sunburn) and there were trails of red skin going down my arm and chest.I'm sure it will fade, and it just feels like a mild sunburn. But I thought I'd let the rest of you with sensitive skin know to be cautious and not let it drip.Has anyone else had this problem? Or are you always sure not to get it on your skin?Teresa

Hi Teresa,That's funny, when I was a kid we used to put vinigar on our skin to soothe sunburn after a day at the beach. I did'nt see the article about vinegar rinse that you refered to, but I never heard of using straight vinegar to rinse with, only a little vinegar mixed with water to get any soap residue out.
