I had dry, brittle hair until I tasted my conditioner, I admit I’m chaotic but people say ‘you can’t argue with results’

A BEAUTY lover who was desperate to repair her damaged hair shared how she took matters into her own hands - or rather, mouth.

She was determined to give her locks new life, but she had an unusual approach to healing her straw-like strands.

Redditor explained how she concluded that her conditioner was the reason why her hair wasn't living up to its potential.

"I've had dry, brittle hair that kept tangling up, no matter what products I used," she said.

She had a hunch that something was amiss with her products, and a quick taste test helped her crack the case.

"I literally licked (don't judge) my conditioners, and noticed they don't taste acidic," she said. "They are all neutral."

She deduced that her brittle hair might be due to her cuticles not "closing up" after washing, even after using cold water.

The only thing left to do was create her own concoction.

She combined 0.4 millimeters of 80% lactic acid with about 200 millimeters of water.

"The water tastes very slightly acidic," she explained.

"I use that as a rinse, after shampoo, but before conditioner.

"And my hair became super soft and smooth immediately. And way easier to brush."

Some users weighed in on her unconventional chemistry experiment.

"Genuine question here, not snark. If you have pH strips, why did you lick the conditioner?" asked one user.

She didn't shy away from explaining herself.

"I'm a very chaotic person and tend to lose items somewhere in the depths of my furniture," she replied.

"Also, I have random bouts of being an idiot, that's about all."

Others didn't think there was anything wrong with her extreme method.

"I think tasting multiple conditioners is one of the most chaotic things a person could do, and I'm all in favor of it," wrote one Redditor.

No matter what the reactions were, her tasting technique seemed to pay off.
