The outermost layer of our hair shaft is called hair cuticle.It is a layer of overlapping cells.It is formed from dead cells which form scales that gives the hair shaft strength and protect the hair.The hair cuticle is the first layer of defense against all forms of damage,it acts as a protective barrier for the hair.Much of the hair shine is also because of a healthy cuticle.Hair cuticle may be damaged by external elements such as sun,wind and pollution.You need to have a healthy hair cuticle in order to have healthy hair.When the cuticle is in good shape,is healthy and unbroken,your hair has a smooth and healthy appearance.When the cuticle layers are tightly knit together,light is able to reflect off the cuticle,which make your hair shine.The cuticle of our hair opens up when we shampoo our hair so after we shampoo we need to close the cuticle to make our hair look shiny and soft.This is when a hair conditioner or a hair rinse comes into action.The main purpose of a conditioner or a hair rinse is to lock the cuticle of the hair that has opened up due to shampooing.


Conditioners that are available in the market are loaded with chemicals and silicons to give that extra shine to our hair,I personally do not like to dump those extrz chemicals on my scalp,I prefer to make my own hair rinses,that are herbal,packed with mild ingredients and can be made at home with the items that are easy available in our kitchen itself.
Today I am going to share with you some easy DIY recipes of some amazing hair rinses that I make for myself and they give me smooth,shiny,long and healthy hair and scalp.So let’s get started.
1.APPLE CIDER VINEGAR RINSE:To begin with,first hair rinse is my most favourite of the lot,it is the ACV Hair Rinse.ACV means apple cider vinegar.I have long hair so I take 5tbsp of ACV,mix it in 1 cup of water ,mix it properly and pour it in a spray bottle.

I prepare this mix and after shampooing my hair I spray the entire solution to my hair ends first and then to my entire length and scalp.I massage it for a minute or so and then I wrap my hair in a cotton T-shirt.I do not rinse out the ACV rinse form my hair.It makes my hair super soft and super shiny.It is easy to make,it is chemical free and works amazingly on my hair,it does the same job as a hair conditioner.
