I am trying to get away from creme rinses. I detest synthetic chemicals
in my house and I want to be dependent on as few consumer goods as
absolutely possible (preferably none at all). I wondered if olive oil
would work, then I imagined using the apple cider vinegar (ACV) that I
use for my own hair with olive oil, and realized I would just be putting
salad dressing on their heads. :)
