I, like many of you, have tried many an expensive shampoo designed to clarify and lift residue from styling products.  It's pretty common knowledge that using the same shampoo and conditioner over time makes your hair dull and produces build-up. 

After many years of trying various products, I was thrilled to find a solution in a very inexpensive common household product. Adding a cupful of plain white vinegar to your shampoo regimen once or twice a week will work wonders for your hair.  The vinegar makes any shampoo a clarifier and makes it squeaky clean and  super shiny. 

The smell of the vinegar disappears by the time you dry your hair and keeps it looking its best. If you have oily hair or alot of product buildup this is a cheap alternative to more expensive products. Vinegar really is a hidden gem with multiple uses.  It  works wonders as a household cleaner as well particularly on floors and windows. 

I have severe allergies and have found it very helpful to use vinegar and hot water to remove other people's fragrances and scented detergent smells from clothes I have purchased on ebay.
