Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse

An ACV hair rinse acts as a cleanser, revitalizer, and conditioner. They are great for people who use natural shampoo bars, like me. (I use this shampoo bar).

Apple cider vinegar can:

Help with frizz and tangles.

Decrease dandruff and residue.

Add body and shine.

Cleanse hair follicles.

Herbs for Hair

I have chosen 3 herbs for an added boost of hair benefits. You can add different herbs like rosemary (for hair strength) and thyme or yarrow (for oily hair) but this is what I had on hand.

Lavender- soothes the scalp, fights inflammation, balances, oil production, & adds natural fragrance

Chamomile- helps naturally highlight hair

Calendula- conditions hair

You can add essential oils if your skin can handle them. Just use a few drops into already made ACV rinse and shake the jar before you add it to wet hair. Use good quality essential oils!
