VINEGAR HAIR RINSE RECIPE (for blonde hair)

I love to spray a rinse on my hair after shampooing and conditioning.  It gets rid of all the left over soapy residual and really makes a difference in softness and general feel.  This is the recipe I use, which is super-duper fabulously easy.  

Ingredients:
500ml boiling water
1 Chamomile tea bag
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
5 drops lavender essential oil
Method:
* Seep the teabag in the boiling water for about 30 minutes.  
* In a spray bottle mix the apple cider vinegar with the lavender.  Add the water and shake.
* Spray on your hair after washing.  Leave for a few minutes and rinse off.
Notes
The apple cider vinegar restores your hair to it's natural PH.  Makes it feel so much softer
