Vinegar is known to add that extra zing to your food. But that’s not where it’s usefulness ends. It is a great beauty potion too. The correct use can add a new zest to your strands.. Vinegar works equally well for dry and oily textures. It works by neutralizing the pH of the scalp and restores the natural balance. It also smoothens your hair cuticles.
- Vinegar removes scaly build-up and product residue from hair shafts and closes the cuticles. Since residue coats the hair causing it to look dull, removing residue gives your hair more shine.
- By closing the cuticles, the hair slides more easily and there are fewer tangles.
- Vinegar has a tonic action that promotes blood circulation in the small capillaries that irrigate the scalp.
- Apple cider vinegar is healthiest for your strands. However avoid using synthetic vinegar as that can dry up the scalp and make hair brittle.
Vinegar Aroma Hair Rinse
Mix 2 cups of cider vinegar and 10 drops essential oil of your choice. You can take from a selection of lavender, rosemary, clary sage, rose geranium, lemon, or patchouli. This mixture should be stored in a glass bottle since the essential oils may react with plastic.
When rinsing your hair mix about 1/4th cup of vinegar with two mugs of water. Use that as the last rinse for your hair.
