Let’s talk clarifying.

To clarify is to strip away any impurities that may be clinging on the hair or scalp. Often using silicone containing products can lead to a build up, that ideally needs removing for optimum hair health. Obviously, the curly girl method means you wouldn’t get a similar product build up. But, many curly girl approved products do contain heavy ingredients like, shea butter, coconut oil, black castor oil, jojoba. These can lock in moisture but can also lock it out. This is when clarifying comes in to it’s own.

There are many cleansing and clarifying products that can be purchased. These are fine but it’s not something that you want to be over doing. This is where home remedies can be more suited.

I plan in doing an ACV rinse!

ACV….Apple cider vinegar. Mixed with water sometimes with added essential oils. Although, I want to cleanse and clarify so won’t be adding any extra oils. In the hope I might take my current frizz down a notch. When undertaking this journey, it is advised to have a final wash that strips hair back to natural state, then use a cleanse and the deep condition to reset, if you like, the natural hair. This is something I’ve not really done. Now, is the time.

Lemon-aid is another similar home remedy that also can be used.

The up-side of these home made remedies is that often we have the ingredients to hand, reasonably cheaply and they can in both health, beauty and the kitchen!

Well. Tomorrow I plan on ACV rinsing, hopefully the frizz will lessen and shine and body will be restored.
