Apple Cider Vinegar

An apple cider vinegar rinse can help balance the pH of your hair and remove buildup from styling products and shampoos. Rinsing also closes the cuticle which covers and protects the surface of each hair shaft. This creates a smoother surface leaving your hair shinier, smoother and easier to manage.

• Mix 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar in 1 cup of water
• Pour this over your hair as if doing a hair rinse
• Let it sit in your hair for a couple of minutes
• Rinse out your hair with cool water

FAQ

People always want to know: “But will my hair smell?”

Your hair will smell like apple cider vinegar when it is wet. Once it dries, the smell will go away. Using cool water instead of hot will help minimize the smell too.

After you rinse

Use a wide toothed comb to comb out tangles after rinsing with the apple cider vinegar. Pat your hair dry with a microfiber towel or a t-shirt.
