As promised, here's some info on using vinegar hair rinse. Many people are shocked when I tell them that my family uses a vinegar rinse in our hair. It's really not that weird. Just search the web and you'll find lots of references to it. Here are a few that I have read:  Little House in the Suburbs,  Chagrin Valley Soap (this one goes into a lot of detail and gives some recipes) official

The shampoo bars are, and I say this in all humility, FABULOUS! Even though I did make them, from a recipe that I did develop myself. I mean, look at them aren't they beautiful? All golden and swirly. Seriously, my family and I have been using them for several months now and we love them. They have far exceeded my expectations.

I am working on making shampoo bars and head-to-toe soaps (for hair, body, and shaving). I have researched and developed recipes and I’ve ordered all of the special oils and plant extracts.

I will be posting some special hair rinse recipes to

The last couple of weeks have been fairly quiet as far as my soap-making goes. (I’m supposed to be doing that “spring cleaning” thing, just haven’t gotten too much of it done either.)
