  • Seals the hair cuticle-which helps hair maintain moisture
  • Helps detangle the hair
  • Stimulates hair growth
  • Removes product and chemical build up without stripping hair of moisture
  • Restores pH
  • Soothes itchy dry scalp
  • Prevents split ends
  • Makes hair shine

So how does it work? Simple. When we shampoo our hair it leaves the cuticles open, which makes the hair look dull and sometimes dry. Apple cider vinegar smooths the cuticle of the hair. When hair cuticles are uniform and smooth, light can reflect. ACV also removes any buildup that is layered on the hair making it look dull.

Check out the recipe below to make your own rinse!
