While I would assume that these remedies would work for you, I must advise checking with your doctor before taking any type of herbs, especially if you are on medication. Hi, Ron.

However, rinsing your hair with apple cider vinegar after washing it works just as well for most people. You can even mix it with a little essential oil to improve the smell if you want. Personally, I use a store-bought natural conditioner with my homemade shampoo, because like you, I can't get a comb through my hair without it either. @Jennifer – It’s difficult to make a good herbal cream-based conditioner at home (and I’m still trying to find just the right recipe).

I recommend using Mountain Rose Herbs (Google them). They have great prices and wonderful customer service. Plus, they have everything you need to make your own herbal shampoos.

If you've dyed your hair red, use herbs recommended for red hair, etc. @Felicia – For color treated hair, I would recommend using the herbs for your current hair color and texture.

I use a natural conditioner now, but I have used an apple cider vinegar rinse in the past and loved it. It really makes your hair soft and shiny, and it feels very clean. @Valerie – It’s up to you if you want to use a conditioner. If you typically use one, I would suggest that you continue.

It will go bad if you leave it out for too long, since it contains essentially an herbal tea. I usually keep the main bottle in the refrigerator and keep a small bottle (with enough for three or four days) in the shower.
