How to use apple cider vinegar for hair?
To use apple cider vinegar (ACV) for your hair, follow these steps:
Dilute ACV: Mix 2 to 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 16 ounces of water.
Post-shampoo and conditioner: After shampooing and conditioning your hair, pour the diluted ACV mixture over your hair, ensuring the entire scalp is covered.
Leave in for a few minutes: Allow the solution to sit on your hair for 1 to 3 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly: Wash out the diluted ACV completely from your hair.
For ease of use, you can also try a pre-formulated ACV hair rinse product like dpHUE's ACV Hair Rinse. Keep in mind that ACV is acidic and may cause a strong scent during the process, but the smell will dissipate after rinsing. This method can help restore hair's pH balance, seal the hair cuticle, and promote hair health. Use ACV as a hair rinse once every few washes for best results.
If your hair is dry, you may want to use ACV less frequently or dilute it with more water, as the acidity could exacerbate dryness. Always test a small portion of your hair first before a full application.
