trying too hard.

Interesting: I recently found out from a friend that apple cider vinegar is a remedy for the most random of minor ailments.

Take for example, a completely random example of course, dandruff. Not that I would even begin to know what that's like! No. Not at all. It just popped in my head for an example to explain the wonders of apple cider vinegar. I could have used other examples, of course, this one in particular just stuck with me because, well, I mean, come on--dryness of the scalp? That's a pretty nasty ailment, in my book. Not that I would know. Definitely not.

So anyway, back to my friend who wasted countless hours googling "cures for dryness of the scalp that doesn't involve shelling out fifty bucks for head + shoulders in a fancy bottle." She told me about this apple cider viegar concoction---1 part ACV and 3 part H20 (look at me! i'm speaking science!) --mix it up, pour it over your dry disgusting scalp (no judgement!) and let it soak in. Massage it in, talk dirty to it, whatever your preference. Then, wash it out with with shampoo unless you enjoy smelling like a big ol' smelly bottle of apple cider vinegar (again, not judging!).


Got real bad nasty dry scalp? Do it every day! Then do it once a week! Then do it when you feel the need!

If I had a tv show on cable all about the wonders of vinegar, I would totally pull a rachel ray and insist on shortening apple cide vinegar to ACV but then every time I use it would say ACV and then continue to say the full name: apple cider vinegar, therefore really defeating the whole purpose of an acronym.

There you go! Lady Friend's "a la natural" tip of the week. So go take care of those dry scalps of yours. My friend gave her thumbs up on this ACV (apple cider vinegar) trick. She's trustworthy. Not to mention very witty and pretty.
