Hey all,

I am in Afghanistan for the next 6months. i've been here for about 6wks. my hair has become really dry. i was wondering if you guys had any ideas that would help. I'm using Dr. Bronners to wash, and the water out here is super hard. wondering if i should just get some over the counter conditioner and rinse really well. I don't have access to things like BS and ACV. so any thoughts?

how old are your locks? if multiple years old,conditionerwon't really hurt them. It might undo some of the tips a little, but hey, they're wispy anyway. But yeah, rinse really really well. If you can get your hands on some oils, that could help put in a pray bottle (if you can get one) and spray your scalp once in a while and massage it in

If you do use conditioner, dilute it with a lot of water too. No need to use full strength conditioner. really, any vinegar will work to soften your locks. ACV is just the best, but even a white vinegar used in a slightly modified proportion will work

Still not something i can find at the store. of course they prob use for cooking and stuff, but vinegar is not available in the store. i really don't want to have to worry about anyone sending me some or anything. thanks

hmmm. olive oil? Now I'm just shooting in the dark. But I've heard that olive oil works in small amounts, and you should probably wash it out after a little bit
