Notes

Apple cider vinegar is acidic, so be sure to tilt your head back so that it doesn’t get into your eyes!
I like to use equal parts water and apple cider vinegar. You can adjust this ratio as you see fit for your hair needs.
While this vinegar hair rinse works great without essential oils, I do think they make it even more effective.
While I do like to make apple cider vinegar from scratch, I prefer to use store-bought apple cider vinegar for this hair and scalp rinse since it is more acidic.
