AFTER becoming desperate to fix her damaged hair, a beauty lover decided to take matters into her own hands – or rather, her mouth.
She was determined to give her hair a new lease of life.
Editor Cutederpster He soon realized that when it came to his straw-like strands, the proof was in the pudding, or hair conditioner.
“I had dry, brittle hair that got tangled no matter what products I used,” she said.
To resolve the difficult case surrounding her braids, she knew she needed to take it one step further.
“I literally licked — don’t judge — my conditioners and realized they don’t taste acidic,” she said.
“They are all neutral,” she continued.

She combined 0.4 millimeters of 80% lactic acid with about 200 millimeters of water.
“The water has a slightly acidic taste,” she said.
“I use this as a rinse, after shampoo but before conditioner,” she continued.
“And my hair felt super soft and smooth immediately. And so much easier to brush.”
Some users weighed in on his unconventional chemistry experiment.
“Genuine question here, not sarcastic. If you have pH strips, why did you lick the conditioner?” asked one user.
She didn’t hesitate to explain herself.
“I’m a very chaotic person and I tend to lose items somewhere in the back of my furniture,” she replied.
“Plus, I have random bouts of being a jerk, that’s all.”
Others didn’t think there was anything wrong with his extreme method.
“I think trying out multiple conditioners is one of the most chaotic things a person can do, and I’m all for it,” wrote one Redditor.
No matter what the reactions were, his tasting technique seemed to pay off.
“Honestly, I can’t argue with the results,” said another reader.
If you want to try the recipe, Amazon sells Druids Grove Lactic Acid for $14.99.
