The Best Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo For Deep Cleaning Strands After Skipping Wash Day

It’s long been known that apple cider vinegar can be magic for your hair, balancing out its natural PH, and closing up the cuticles resulting in serious shine. You can DIY a hair mask at home, or you can shop the best apple cider vinegar shampoo out there because really, it’s a lot easier. Not that we don’t have some time on our hands to concoct a kitchen experiment. But you may not be able to get to the store to grab apple cider vinegar, at all. And this way, you can trust there’s the perfect amount of the stuff in each bottle to revive your strands.

Apple cider vinegar has even been known to reduce excess sebum on the scalp and you know what that means: less oil, fewer flakes and less allover itchiness. Any hair type or color can use it but if you’re especially dry or color-treated, look for a gentle formula that also contains soothing ingredients such as oats and avocado oil. These will leave your strands smooth while allowing the apple cider vinegar to work its magic on the scalp.

There’s a good chance while at home you’re washing your hair less and maybe using dry shampoo a little bit more. Use an apple cider vinegar shampoo every few times you wash your hair to remove all the products from the scalp, reinvigorating hair follicles. This has even been known to help reduce hair loss and the damaging effects of overdoing dry shampoo. There are a ton to choose from, including both drugstore and higher-end choices. Shop some of our current favorites, below.

Caroline Stanbury’s Coral Swimsuit

Caroline Stanbury’s Coral Swimsuit on Instagram

Ladies of London Instagram Fashion

Caroline Stanbury is social distancing in style in her coral lace up side swimsuit as seen on Instagram. And lucky for me, even though swimming pools are on the long list of things I am social distanced from, computers are not. And since Caroline’s bold bathing suit is on sale I think I might just have to invite it into my home to keep me company until I can see a pool again.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Instagram Fashion 2020

Although I admittedly don’t always check out Teddi Mellencamp’s Instastories (no shade, working out and eating healthy just isn’t my thing), I’m very happy that I decided to yesterday considering it allowed me to catch a glimpse of her in these cute pink star pajamas. Which are totally inspiring me to go ahead and scoop myself up a similar pair to go for a run in like Teddi wear while running to the fridge.

The Best Peptide Eye Cream to Fake 8 Hours of Sleep

Some people can’t live without their eye cream (me) and others feel like it’s not any more helpful than putting face cream on your eyes. Well, these peptide eye creams might just change their minds. With powerful depuffing ingredients, these babies can reduce the appearance of fine lines, smooth out texture and, perhaps most importantly, hydrate the delicate area around the eyes. While you can use face cream up towards your eyes, formulas made specifically for the area are less likely to cause burning or any skin irritation.

Eye creams with peptides help plump that sensitive skin around the eyes. Peptides work by telling the skin to produce more collagen. Since we lose collagen when we age, they basically tell your skin that you’re younger than you are. Chemically, peptides are strings of amino acids that are often called the “building blocks” of your skin. They work hard to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and they can also protect against environmental damage from free radicals.

There’s also something satisfying about applying eye cream at night. Throughout the day, we’re not the nicest to our eyes. We apply makeup, put on lashes, rub the makeup off, put in contacts, etc. All of this wears down the skin around the eyes, drying it out and making us look tired. A little cooling eye cream before bed calms down the skin and can be a nice moment of self-care.

These Affordable 360 Wigs are Basically Hidden Treasure on Amazon

If there is one beauty habit that seems to never change with the seasons or circumstances, it’s my general admiration and passionate search for the best 360 wigs on Amazon and really, anywhere else. In the grand scheme of things, I’m new to the world of wigs. But after a couple years of living the short cut life (and because I’m stuck in the house more than usual), the universe has decided that I am growing my hair out.

With that being said, I figure I may as well have some fun along the way and add a couple units to my growing arsenal of hair care products—an expected uptick when giving up your low maintenance buzzcut. Up until a few months ago, I found the traditional wig to be sufficient enough. However, since discovering the benefit of wigs built with lace closure around the perimeter of the entire wig—hence the name 360 wig—I’ve already decided this is what I need to really have fun playing with styles that a traditional wig wouldn’t allow, like a towering top knot or Sade-inspired braid.

Though I obviously want quality hair on top of my head, I don’t think I need to sacrifice my budget to get it. And if Amazon is any indication, I’m absolutely right. I scrolled and read enough reviews to land on five 360 wigs that are not only the real deal in terms of longevity and hair quality but under $150 too. Keep scrolling to grab one before you’re left with that “Currently Unavailable” box.
