A lot of these "make it yourself" ideas seem great and I'm excited to try them, but I'm confused as to how they cut down on plastic use if you're buying the vinegar in plastic...Even if you buy it in glass, the top cap is plastic. I ran into this problem yesterday when I decided to try making my own plastic-free soap and found that the beeswax is wrapped in plastic..go figure :( Help/advice??AMSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766882701166934144.post-46155485570382896002012-11-10T09:07:59.098-08:002012-11-10T09:07:59.098-08:00Thanks much for the recipe.

This was not a positive comment, and it was actually contributing to some other issues such that our marriage was looking dim. I thought that perhaps it was just a feature of getting older. But the other day it occurred to me that vinegar has a way of making things so clean and fresh that perhaps it could get me back on track. I found your recipe and used it on my body as well as my hair. Sure enough, I don't smell "old" anymore, and it looks like you may have saved my marriage!

I wash my hair with an olive oil soap and would like to restore the ph balance by using a vinegar/acid rinse instead of my conditioner, but I tend to be a bit clumsy and would like to naturally thicken the vinegar rinse somehow so it is more controllable and won't run down into my eyes while in the shower. All the thicker conditioner recipes on the 'net deal with perishable contents such as egg and fruit etc and are left on for 15-20 mins (which is all well and good for a slow day at home) and I would ideally like to make a bulk supply to keep next to my bath in a pump container which I can use in a hurry every day. Any ideas? HSHSnoreply@blogger.com
