African Black Soap

African black soap has many uses. I use it as a shower wash and I wash my face with plain African black soap and I use my homemade body butter to moisturize my face. African black will help acne and make your skin smoothe and very soft. I also use it as a shampoo I make without adding anything to it except aloe Vera juice. It cleanse and moisturizers my hair very well. You can order it online from www.butternbars.com. She has the best deal. I hope this helps someone.

Oils and your Steamer

I got this from a member of LHCF and I tried it myself, I love it!!! I did it like a hot oil treatment. I coated my hair and scalp with JOJOBA OIL and then sat under my steamer for 20 minutes. And when I rinsed my hair it was very soft and managable. I'll be adding to my regular regime.

Oil Rinising the hair

Rinse (or shampoo) your hair
Coat in your favorite oil (I've used olive, jojoba, castor, meadowfoam,
Rinse with warm/hot water
Apply conditioner
Rinse with cool/cold water
Apply leave-in
Seal

The part that makes it an oil rinse is using conditioner to help rinse some of the oil from your hair. Everything else is just a hot oil treatment, or an oil wash.

I do this because it helps with detangling and some oils can moisturze the scalp. JoJoBa Oil being one of them.

How to Rinse Hair With Apple Cider Vinegar

Add shine, bounce and remove buildup from your hair with a simple apple cider vinegar rinse. Apple cider vinegar is a well-known health food and folk remedy. Acetic acid, the main ingredient, will remove buildup from styling products and conditioners and strengthen the hair shaft, leaving you with soft, glimmering strands. Apple cider vinegar hair rinse will also balance hair's pH level, kill bacteria and is a great cure for dandruff. This rinse in not recommended for color-treated or processed hair, as acetic acid is a clarifier and can strip hair of color.



Make the rinse by mixing 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar with 1 qt. of distilled water. Put the mixture in a plastic bottle and bring it into the shower or bath


Shampoo hair and rinse well.Do a deep condition Apply the apple cider vinegar rinse to your hair. Leave it in for a few seconds. Rinse your hair using cold water to seal the hair shaft and create more shine. Because vinegar is acidic, using the rinse daily is not advised. Try it once a week at most. Pay attention to how your hair responds and adjust use accordingly.

Dry your hair with a towel. If you notice a vinegar scent after you're done rinsing, don't fret. The smell will disappear after your hair dries.

Herbal Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse

Bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add 3 tbsp. of your chosen dried herb into a tea ball or muslin bag. Place the ball or bag in hot water. Let the mixture infuse for two hours.

Pour the mix into a glass jar when the herbal tonic is cooled, and add 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Shake well. Apply the same way as the basic vinegar rinse.

Add a few drops of lavender, rosemary, lemon or rose essential oil to the basic vinegar rinse recipe if you're not motivated to make an herb tonic.
