I use apple cider vinegar since it is tastier and better for you than the other kinds.

Well, off I trotted to the store where I purchased the largest bottle I could find. I had long thick hair and wanted to make sure every strand was totally saturated. I had read the instructions that said, add two tablespoons into the final rinse, but of course I thought this couldn't possibly be right. I mean every single strand had to look it's best. I had a boy at school I was trying to impress after all.

I used the whole bottle. All of it.
It smelt awful, really disgusting, but when I dried it the smell kind of evaporated a bit and I must admit, it did look a tad more shiny. I think. Anyway people would look at my film star hair and never notice the smell.

Later that afternoon whilst walking home next to the man of my dreams. I was truly gutted. He hadn't noticed my hair and worse still, he was walking so far apart from me that Queen Mary could have docked in that space.

To add insult to injury, it then started to rain. It poured and everyone got totally drenched.

He started to sniff at the air, everyone started to sniff at the air. The stench of vinegar was unbearable. They were all sniffing like a load of blood hounds.

He finally looked at me and asked,

" What the hell have you got on today?
Bloody hell, you smell like the local fish
and chip shop!"

My heart sunk. I prayed to all the Gods that I could think of to open up the ground and swallow me up whole. I was truly mortified.

I never spoke to him after that. Everytime he saw me he'd shout out loud, so that all the population within a ten mile radius could hear him, "Hiya Chippy!" If it were not for the fact I was so fashion conscious and knew that a prison uniform would not become me. I probably would have quite happily committed a serious assault on that day, perhaps even murder!

I drink Cider Vinegar but I do not put it on my person. Ever.

i like it because it seems much milder than salicilyc acid or alcohol, but just as effective.....while witch hazel and some other toners just don't penetrate as well.
