Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse
Here’s a super easy apple cider vinegar hair rinse you can do in the shower in under 5 minutes! It helps to strengthen your hair, reduce frizz, and remove build up. A tried and true recipe I developed a decade ago that’s been tested by over 10,000 people!
Prep: 2Total: 2 minutes
Servings: 1 1x
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups water
-
¼ cup raw apple cider vinegar
- 2–3 drops lavender oil (optional)
Instructions
- Clean: Shampoo your hair. Rinse with warm water.
- Mix: Mix the apple cider vinegar, water, and essential oil (optional) together in a 16 oz plastic squirt bottle or large cup.
- Pour: Lean your head back and pour the rinse over your head, working it into your scalp. Be careful to avoid contact with your eyes. Let the mixture sit on your hair for two minutes.
- Rinse: Rinse your hair with cool water. Use a conditioner afterwards.
Notes
- Yes, you can use this rinse if you have sensitive skin or dry hair! That’s a myth. If you have dry or sensitive skin, use with 2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar in the recipe instead of ¼ cup.
- This is not a replacement for shampoo or conditioner. Make sure to shampoo your hair beforehand, and use conditioner afterwards.
- Use this rinse 1x a week for best results.
- Do not, under any circumstances, use undiluted acv on your hair.
- Make sure to follow up with your conditioner after you rinse it out.
- This DOES work on color treated hair! I have been coloring my hair for the last few years and it does not impact the color or tone.
