Vinegar Hair Rinse

After washing your hair - always. No one called it a "spa treatment". Just: a bowl, water, a spoonful of vinegar - and a tart smell that made your hair smooth, manageable, and alive .

Not apple cider vinegar, not organic vinegar, not expensive vinegar. Regular table vinegar. Mom poured a little into her palm, diluted it with water, poured it over her hair - and it shone. Not a single knot. Not a single tangled lock.

This ritual was like a period in a sentence.

You are already clean, already washed, but here is the final gesture. And your hair smelled not of shampoo, but of home, care, calm.

Sometimes it seems that mom poured into this water not vinegar, but a little tenderness. And everything fell into place again.
