Why Apple Cider Vinegar Is a Hair Care Star
Before sharing my story, let’s talk about why so many people praise ACV for hair health.
- pH balance: Shampoos and styling products often throw off the natural balance of the scalp. Apple cider vinegar, with its gentle acidity, helps bring it back into alignment.
- Build-up remover: Over time, hairspray, gel, and even some shampoos leave a dulling film. ACV cuts right through it.
- Anti-dandruff aid: Its antifungal and antibacterial properties help reduce flakes and itching.
- Shine booster: By smoothing the outer layer of the hair shaft, vinegar gives strands a reflective sheen.
- Nutrient boost: Apple cider vinegar contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that may help strengthen the hair from root to tip.
In short, it’s a simple, natural, inexpensive remedy that many women—especially those looking for chemical-free solutions—turn to again and again.
