I washed my hair with vinegar this morning. I apologize for my stench, but my hair was just getting too heavy and gross, so I had to get all of the shampoo/conditioner residue off of it. HOWEVER, my hair is very soft, so if you can stand to get close enough to me to do so, you may pet my head. (Disclaimer: This offer is for today only! No rain checks, no substitutions.)
Sometimes I wonder how "home remedies" like the above came about. Here's a list of weird things people put in their hair and my guesses at how people figured out to put these things in their hair.
1. Beer. A girl walks into a party. She catches the girl who is drunkenly dancing on the coffee table flirting with her ex-boyfriend. She reaches over to push dancing girl off the table and dancing girl pours her beer in jealous girl's hair. When jealous girl wakes up in jail the next morning, she realizes that her hair has never felt cleaner or softer.
2. Vinegar. Someone was tossing a salad and got a little crazy with it. Leaves of lettuce flew on top of her head and voila!
3. Mayonnaise. This is perhaps the most disturbing of the edible hair care products I've heard of. A friend of mine's kids had a lice outbreak awhile back and she had to "suffocate" the lice with mayo. I think people also use mayo as a conditioner. I really have no good explanation for why a person would do such a thing. My first instinct would have been to use Ranch Dressing. It's good on everything.

Any home remedies for the folicly challenged?
Here's one for you. You pour honey on your head and then wrap it up in toilet paper.
It won't make you grow hair, but it'll make you look funny.
I got the funny part already wrapped up!
i've thought of trying vinegar... doesn't the smell go away?
and do you use it _instead_ of both shampoo and conditioner?

I get my hair wet, then rinse it with vinegar, then wash that out with water, then do my regular shampoo and conditioner. The smell mostly goes away, but there's still a faint smell until the next day when I wash it regularly.
