I’m so glad I found your website! thank you for the tip 🙂
I started using vinegar 2 clean back in November & decided that in the new year I would replace all my chemical based products w/ natural products.
I tried the NO POO 4 the month of December & didn’t like the dry feeling I would get. I decided 2 try the MILK & HONEY shampoo, I have been using this since the 1st of January 7 I love the results. My only issue w/ this is that my hair feels sticky after shampooing, but it dries soft & feels great. My hair has natural red tints in it, my friends keep asking if I had red highlights done, I say no it’s milk & honey.
I was wondering if any1 had any ideas on how 2 make a natural detangler/conditioner 2 spray on my hair in the morning that will compliment the Milk & Honey I’m shampooing w/. I also want 2 use it on my kids, they have very curly hair.
I am looking for a recipe to make homemade shampoo – do you have any?
from what I have found its just finding the right amount of baking soda…just mix it with warm water and apply…haven’t tried it yet but will soon…still have a lot of regular shampoo left 🙂
This is a great tip and so very easy, too. I LOVE it..now is this a “leave-in” detangler? or do you have to wash it out? I read a comment that someone left here on the Facebook comments about going shampoo-less. That sounds interesting, too. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂 🙂 🙂
p.s. I saw this link on a friend’s Facebook page 😉 🙂
Hi Heather ~ we’re so glad to have you here, joining in the $$-saving FUN! For the detangler, you can just spray on a small amount and leave it in. Hope that helps!

I haven’t used shampoo in 3 months. Just diluted conditioner. Works great. My curly hair is more managable.
Been doing this for years, but I must agree with a previous poster. Distilled water is key or you get the mildew smell. I also use a wide tooth comb on my curly hair. :0)
I am a professional hairstylist and I have to tell you that I add about 1/2 teaspoon of conditioner to my water bottle with warm every single day. This IS a fantastic tip as a DIY detangler!
I have to agree with JenT and VictoriaBC about the vinegar. I use 1/2cup of vinegar in 1 cup warm water. After shampooing your hair gently pour the mixture all over the hair and rinse. It works wonderfully! Not to mention my hair is silky smooth and shiny. I’m on a mission to find the best natural recipes.
I agree with VictoriaBC. My daughter and I use apple cider vinegar/water (about a 1:1 ratio) in the shower as a conditioner. Regular conditioner doesn’t rinse out of our hair due to seriously hard water. I have shoulder length curly hair and my daughter has very long, very straight hair and this works GREAT for both of us. You REALLY can’t smell the vinegar once your hair is dry and my daughter’s hair is far less “tangly” now.
I just started doing this as well as I read it off another site. Also, the vinegar gets all the leftover residue from commercial products out of your hair! I found my hair is even curlier( I have naturally curly hair) using the vinegar! I use it for me and my daughter and you are right. You cant smell it at all when its dry! LOVE IT!
I heard and tried apple cider vinegar and water mixture in a spray bottle or a bottle like a plastic catsup-type bottle. Use it in the shower on wet hair. It worked, and the smell goes away when the hair is dry. Better than the chemicals in conditioner.
This is great! I will try it but I will use distilled water in the mix. Thanks for the tip!
Just curious, why distilled water?
Doing a vinegar rinse in the shower once a month is also a great cleanser for your hair. It removes build up other shampoos miss. It also keeps lice away.
I just made me up some for my 8 year old. She is so tender headed and she has been this way since she was born. Plus she gets a tad bit dramatic when it’s time to brush her hair. Lets see how this works!!
PS. You also know how you run out of shampoo faster than your conditioner? And you have like, 5 bottle of almost gone conditioner just collecting dust? This is PERFECT!! Talk about frugal 🙂
That is weird it has always been the other way around at my house, we have 1/8 full shampoo bottles all over because I ran out of the matching conditioner.
Thanks for the good tip! I will just add the water to the bottle & that will be easier to get out. Thx!
