For those swimmers out there

There's apossibility. But when I rinse after the BS part of the wash, I rinse for a minute or 2 and wring out my hair during and after. Then the ACV will get absorbed. Then I rinse and wring out my hair before doing a cold water rinse.

If there is a small amount of BS that gets mixed with the ACV, it won't hurt your. you start out with 1/2 cup of it. Once you rinse it out, if any is left, it's probably in the 1/8 of a tbls range. And that little, spread out all over all of your hair, won't create much of a chemical reaction

It wasn't so much the chemical reaction that I was thinking about. It's more about BS staying in your hair after you've finished your wash. It may be a small amount, but left in for days, coupled with the cumulative effects regular washing could, possibly, lead to brittle hair. Maybe the effects are negligible, but I think I will rinse with water before a BS wash from now on. Better to be safe than sorry, as they say.

That's fine. I agree. It's better to be safe. But that's why I rinse once with warm water, then wring my hair out, and then rinse again with cold water, and wring my hair out again.

But if it makes you more comfortable and gives you peace of mind, I can't blame you. It's not a bad idea at all

This is totally off topic, but I always rinse my hair just before I pour the bs. I just like the feeling of water running thru my hair lol

I do too, but I think It's out of habit of getting my hair wet before I wash it. I'm sure you could just use the BS without rinsing it first, but I'm sure you could just pour the BS mix on when dry. I don't think it would have adverse effects. But for 20 years I rinsed my hair first, so it's a hard habit to break

Exactly. We didn't put shampoo on dry hair before did we? It's a habit to get hair wet first...

Speaking of which, I can not wait to wash my hair today. Just sayin....

I just washed about 45 minutes ago. I just love how it feels

Usually i wash my hair in the garden. I fill a bottle with bs mix and start with dry hair. With winter approaching ill be moving inside. So all good.o

I've had several near drowning experiences when I was little. You'd think that'd keep me out of the water. No, it just made me a little psycho during the first swim of the season in 'the lake'. I get a bit panicky swimming out to the bouy, but by the time I'm on my way back I'm fine. I still hate flying tho. And heights. And big spiders. That's beside the point tho.
