How does apple cider vinegar affect your hair - should you use it?

If the ends of your hair are dry and the roots are oily, apple cider vinegar can help. It is harmless and even the opposite is good for the hair. Let's understand how this ingredient affects the hair.

Apple cider vinegar - what is it?

Apple cider vinegar is a 100% natural product, which can be found in stores on food shelves. It is formed during the fermentation process of apples. The best varieties of vinegar are made from ripe, sweet and high-quality apples. 

Vinegar contains about twenty minerals and elements. These include lactic acid, malic acid used in cosmetics, and various types of enzymes and amino acids. Apple cider vinegar is also an incredibly valuable source of bioflavonoids, iron, potassium, magnesium, silicon, vitamins A, B and C and many others. 

As you can see, vinegar derived from apples is a vitamin bomb that we can provide to our bodies internally - orally by adding it to salads or drinking it, for example, as well as externally by using it in facial and hair care, which we will focus on today.

When to use apple cider vinegar on my hair?

Apple cider vinegar is a product that has a great impact on the condition of our hair because it has acidifying properties, thanks to which it can close the hair cuticle and give it an amazing shine. For this reason, it is most often recommended for dull, damaged, broken hair. 

Vinegar will restore the natural pH of the scalp, as well as make up for incredibly important micronutrient deficiencies. Faster hair growth, better overall health and no dandruff are just some of the effects you will notice when using apple cider vinegar on your hair.

How do I apply apple cider vinegar to my hair?

The most popular and most commonly used form is apple cider vinegar rinses, which are used - as the name suggests - to rinse hair (the latter). To prepare such a mixture, you will need only: 500 ml of cool, but not ice-cold, filtered water and a large tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Thoroughly mix these two ingredients with each other and when washing your hair, make the last rinse of your head with a mixture of water and vinegar instead of just one water.

What kind of apple cider vinegar to buy for hair?

Not every vinegar you see on the store shelf will be a good choice. The cheapest, dubious quality, definitely avoid. The best choice would be unfiltered and unpasteurized vinegar, which doesn't look very pretty. It is cloudy and contains a natural sediment at the bottom of the bottle. This vinegar will be the best for your hair. Remember, appearance does not indicate quality. Good, high-quality, preservative-free apple cider vinegar will never look perfect.

The smell of apple cider vinegar on your hair - does it persist?

In a sense, yes, but it evaporates very quickly and can even neutralize other, unpleasant odors. If you work in a bakery, club or fast food joint and you still get the impression that your hair smells like food or cigarettes after work, consider apple cider vinegar for your hair. Unpleasant odors won't stay on your hair after using vinegar.
