Bottles, Bottles Galore and Kombucha in my Hair!

Today’s kombucha adventures included Ch. getting kicked out of the liquor section at Dominick’s at 9 am while he was looking for bottles to bring me because he forgot the ones I left at his house. We went to Whole Foods and picked up some beer a bit later in the day and then to Binny’s for some cheaper stuff. I was able to get my neighbor/friend A. to drink the beer and now I’m sanitizing the bottles in the dishwasher (although I found out today an amazing recipe for beer pizza crust and now I’m going to have to buy more). Apparently those Grolsch bottles will chip if the caps aren’t pulled off quite carefully without putting pressure on the glass itself, so it seems like this bottle gathering process may be an ongoing event. 

In order to empty out another bottle, I used the 2nd half of a bottle of Ramirez that had gotten too vinegary on my hair in the shower. I dumped it all in, let it sit for a moment, and then rinsed it all out with warmish water. Behold! My hair, which is usually very fine and soft, got a little bit coarser and fluffed up quite nicely. I didn’t have to do anything to it (no extra products, minimal blowdrying) and it really had some good body today. I was very pleased with it. I’m not sure, though, that putting it in every day is a good idea because the acidity may strip the oils from it, but I’m wondering if it’s a good idea as a sort of weekly clarifying treatment in the winter and perhaps more frequently in the summer. I will continue experimenting with this.
