Bring Your Natural Hair To Life With Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Rinse





Apple cider vinegar (ACV) rinses are one of most cost-effective and beneficial ways in existence to improve hair health. A good ACV rinse can remove product build up, restore the pH balance of the scalp and hair, promote blood circulation in the scalp–which can stimulate new hair growth and give the hair a soft, healthy sheen.



One of the greatest benefits to those with curly hair, however, is that an ACV rinse will shut down the hair cuticle to protect the inside of the hair shaft from damage. Acidic solutions close the cuticle, which will keep moisture inside your hair and keep prevent frizz.

For maximum benefit, use of only raw, organic and unfiltered vinegar rather than the “sparkling clear” vinegar you usually find on the grocery store shelves. When doing the rinse, I also like to include additional ingredients such as aloe-vera, agave nectar and essentials oils if they are available.


Please be mindful of how acidic ACV is and take this into consideration when you are introducing this method into your hair regimen. If done too often, your hair shaft will begin to break down, ultimately causing damage. I personally feel it’s best to do this practice maybe once a month or every two months at most.
