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.  :)
