I just have another account now

Don't use shampoo, it is so bad for your hair! So damaging and drying, especially for curly hair. I use bicarb soda once a month (maybe even less often than that) and apple cider vinegar once to twice a week when I wash my hair. My hair has never ever felt better!

Btw I am back

Defiently trying the honey and coconut oil ! Any suggestions on how to wash it out after?

Oh no Vanessa if you do try acv again I advise you to wash your hair with a nice smelling scent shampoo and shampoo twice this worked for me my hair did not have an awful smell good luck :-)

I tried apple cider vinegar once and I couldn't get the smell out for days 😁 it was awful

You spelled damaged wrong

Wendy haha that's the thing, I shampooed my hair probably 3 times for a couple days with herbal essences, very fragrant and I still smelled like something had died in my hair, haha I'll just use coconut oil, can't go wrong with that :)
