ACV
has been used as a natural hair care product for women with curly to promote healthy and shiny hair. Its acidity is very close to that of natural hair, it’s a good conditioner and cleaning agent as well as an anti-bacterial agent (germ killer).


Rinsing with ACV will balance the PH of your hair and remove build up that can result from the use of heavy styling products and harsh shampoos. Rinsing will also close the numerous cuticles scales that cover the hair shaft thus creating shiny smooth and easy to manage hair. The cuticles mostly open because of hard water and Sulfates, which creates the dry, rough and dull looking hair. It is also a natural anti-bacterial agent to helps combat dandruff.


If you’re wondering about the slight smell if you use it in your hair, it goes away when the hair is dry.


Note
Try to buy raw ACV which is very dark brown as this one has the most benefits to the hair and the lighter brown ACV have been filtered, distilled and manipulated to look that way, removing the benefits!


" True, raw, natural Apple Cider Vinegar should be a brownish liquid containing a gelatin-like substance that appears as little cobwebs floating in the vinegar. This is known as "the mother of vinegar,"

Make your own after-shampoo rinse

You’ll need

-ACV the cloudy, dark brown one

-Water

-A spray bottle

Mix 2 teaspoons of ACV and 2 cups of water into the spray bottle (you can add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to clarify further if you have oily hair)

Wash your hair with your normal conditioner (no-poo routine) or shampoo then spray the ACV mixture in your hair and leave it for 3 mins then wash out.

Then follow with a leave-in conditioner.


You only need to do this once a month for dry hair, every 2 weeks for oily hair because anymore and your hair will become very dry! It is also possible to add essential oils to use as a shampoo or leave in a teaspoon of ACV in your hair after using your normal shampoo for extra conditioning.

Also if you suffer from dandruff try adding undiluted ACV to the scalp and leave it for 30mins before washing the hair! Again you can add other ingredients like tea tree or lavender to soothe itchy scalp.
