Why are your beautiful curls looking dull and lifeless?
The outer layer of the hair is made of scales overlapping like tiles. When these scales lift, the hair appears dull. Indeed, lifted scales mean hair that poorly reflects light. To restore shine to your hair, nothing beats a natural, proven remedy: apple cider vinegar!!
The following remedy should be used after your shampoo (i.e., after the shampoo + mask steps)
Special Shine Rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar:
Ingredients:
- Apple cider vinegar
- 1 bottle of inexpensive spring water
Pour half a liter of spring water into a small basin. Then add one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and rinse your hair with the mixture. This final rinse with vinegared water will close the scales of the hair shaft. Your hair will reflect light again and will have regained all its shine. Vinegar also helps eliminate limescale traces that dull the hair fiber.
In summary, vinegar is a natural "two-in-one" product that:
- Tightens hair cuticles
- Dissolves all traces of limescale deposited by water
For those who fear exhaling a strong vinegary smell, rest assured: the characteristic smell of vinegar disappears after a few hours! Unlike white vinegar, apple cider vinegar has a less strong odor. The most reluctant among you can always opt for the following solution: add a few drops of essential oils to the rinsing water to mask the vinegar smell or buy a special shine hair treatment like René Furterer's "vinaigre de brillance" (approximately 12 euros, 250 ml bottle).
