**Use Nature**
Inspired by the lovely Vonalina's post about her quest to have her long hair shiny and tangle free I'd thought I'd share some of the amazing benefits of Apple Cyder Vinegar with you all.It offers so many benefits for hair, scalp and skin :) Carry on reading for some of the amazing benefits and simple recipe for skin and hair :)

For Hair:

Apple cider vinegar removes clumpy residue and gunk in hair from product buildup. It also works as a natural detangler. It also has anti bacterial and anti fungal properties for soothing dry itchy scalps.When used regularly in your natural hair care routine, apple cider vinegar can revitalize your hair, leaving it soft and smooth. The vinegar also works by closing the cuticle of the hair, which makes light reflect off of it. In other words, it making your hair super shiny :)

Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse
1 part apple cider vinegar
1 part water

Directions:
Mix the apple cider vinegar and water together. After shampooing, pour the mixture into your hair. If you have a spray bottle, that works even better. That way you can spritz your hair with the mixture and massage it into your scalp. Let the apple cider vinegar concoction sit for a few minutes before rinsing fully with water. No need to use conditioner! The apple cider vinegar will leave hair feeling smooth and soft.

For Skin

This simple vinegar can help improve your overall complexion. Because skin is naturally acidic, apple cider vinegar can help restore your skin's natural pH balance. When your pH levels are in balance your skin sits at that optimum level between oily and dry. Apple cider vinegar can also help reduce red marks and blemishes, and soften skin. For all-over softness, add a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your next bath.

Apple Cider Vinegar Facial Toner

1 part apple cider vinegar
2 parts water

Directions:
A good toner can moisturize, refresh and purify skin.
One part apple cider vinegar mixed with two parts water creates a refreshing toner that leaves skin glowing. When lightly sprayed or dabbed on the face, the acidity of the vinegar will create a light layer on the skin, locking in moisture. It works best when used just after cleansing. Don't worry, the vinegar smell will dissipate after a few minutes.It can be quite astringent on dry and sensitive skin,so you may want to dilute the solution further.
Have a play let me know how you get on :)
