Reviews of women

Sharlen wrote her review: "I have hair naturally disobedient and slightly wavy, so I struggle with them with the help of various means and masks. And I really want them to be soft and silk. I found a way out: rinsing with apple cider vinegar.
Usually, I dilute 3 tablespoons of vinegar in 1 liter of water and rinse my hair with such a mild, slightly alkaline solution after each washing. The result - brilliant and surprisingly soft hair from the roots and to the tips. And no expensive cosmetics! "
Girl with a nickname zazuuna wrote this review:" I decided to try to make a mask on my hair using a shop beer. Home, of course, take nowhere, since the production itself is not engaged)) I took 1 glass of beer and spread it with 1 glass of warm water.
Rinsed this mixture with hair after traditional washing with shampoo and applying balm. Everything was wonderful, only a barely perceptible beer smell remained on the hair. Fortunately, it quickly disappears.
But the curls on his head stayed as much as 3( !!) days. And the hair did not lose its shine, although it was harsh. In general, I'm very pleased! "
But the Marquise used to give the softness of hair to citric acid. She writes:
"I do not like our tap water for its hardness, because it negatively affects the condition of the hair. They are very sensitive. I've heard a lot about the fact that citric acid softens the hair well, so I decided to try it. I dissolve a couple of teaspoons of powder in a basin and rinsed this hair with hair after washing. The result is simply amazing! Hair is soft and silky, which I have not had! "
