So, I used shampoo last night. And conditioner. BS/Vin worked fine for the last 3 or so weeks, but the vinegar smell in my hair was getting to me. I rinsed and rinsed and used essential oils but I still smelled vinegar. There was no major difference with my hair itself. My hair seemed slightly darker, maybe from the distribution of natural oils. But the tangling and the static electricity were out of control. My hair hits my shoulder blades, is coarse/naturally wavy, and it's always been a struggle to get it to look decent. I might alternate for a bit..I have quite a bit of shampoo/conditioner left so I need to use it up anyway.
