I am sure that you've heard that apple cider vinegar (ACV) is phenomenal for the hair. Well, let me show you how to make an easy ACV rinse that will have your hair feeling great and looking shiny! Let;s start by going over the benefits of apple cider vinegar for the hair:
- 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!
