Shampoos/Conditioners that Protect Hair Color?
Comments (9)I love the Pureology products. I alternate then with Bumble &Bumble. I have long hair and we play a lot with the color. I always though salon products were a way too expensive but I finally decided to invest in a couple of giant bottles. I paid around $80 or $90 for those first two bottles. I found that you use so much less of the good stuff that those bottles lasted me two years plus! That's pennies on the dollar I was paying when I was spending around 10 dollars a month on drugstore products. I've found in my area at least the salon products are cheaper in my salon than they are are Target etc....See MoreWhy white vinegar in the rinse .....
Comments (3)Well vinegar is instituted in a rinse cycle for various reasons. If a person uses homemade soap based laundry detergent, the vinegar will remove any soap residue left on the clothing. Vinegar also removes built up laundry detergent and hard water residue. It has the ability to soften clothes naturally without the use of chemicals for the enviornmentally friendly concsious individual. It also has gentle bleaching properties and natural disenfecting properties. In addition to all of this, for those that are chemically sensitive, it dries and no odor is left behind, just the smell of fresh laundry. Mind you, this in only for white vinegar. I have no idea what the others would do, but I have a feeling the others would not do well as they would most likely leave a stain behind....See More36 uses for distilled white vinegar
Comments (8)I buy it by the gallon also. My mom use to use it all the time, but me being of the 60's generation or maybe I was just not smart back in the day abandoned vinegar and used store bought cleaners and such that my mom used vinegar for. I came back full circle when I got wiser, in my mid thirties..I think that is when I realized mom wasn't so dumb after all. LOL...See MoreIs it salt or vinegar to set the color in fabric?
Comments (12)It can be salt OR vinegar depending on (1) the fiber content & (2) type of dye stuff. But I'd be careful of using vinegar, as it's a form of acetic (or ascorbic) ACID (I forget which). If not rinsed out or diluted, it will over time damage the strength of the fibers. When I was in college, they taught to use a drop of bleach on a Q-tip to remove a bit of dye dripped in the wrong place (in a batik for example). Folks who didn't take care to dilute the bleach afterwards, had the rude surprise of the bleach literally eating thru the fibers, resulting in a whole in the cloth. I'll grant you bleach is a much stronger form of it, but they're both types of acids. That is not the case w/ salt....See Moresowngrow (8a)
