There are many around-the-house products that double up as hair care miracles. Apple cider vinegar makes the list with flying colors. It is by far one of the best clarifying rinses you make at home. Considering that commercial hair rinses and clarifying treatments cost 10 dollars on average, using a cheaper, equally effective and readily available product makes perfect sense. The ACV rinse clarifies the hair, eliminating any product build up you might have. In addition, it leaves the hair shiny and frizz-free, not to mention that my curls are always more uniform afterward. Why, you ask! Well, the main ingredient in ACV is acetic acid, which serves to remove build up and balance the pH level of the hair. I’ve used this rinse a lot in the past 3 years and can honestly say that it is an essential staple for those who use silicone-containing products, as they are more prone to product build-up.
How to Use
Mix 1/3 cup of ACV into a quart (1 liter) of water and pour the rinse slowly over hair after washing. Ideally, follow the rinse with a moisturizing conditioner. Not to worry, the strong smell eventually wears off.
Caution
Those who have color-treated hair should use this rinse sparingly to prevent stripping the color.

ive never tried this it looks intersesting
Just wondering how often do you do a ACV rinse? I recently did something to damage my hair, where it has become very dry. The ACV mix is helping to restore my natural softness, and its been 2 weeks. Right now I do it once a week, but want to make sure increasing the usage to every other day wouldn’t be too much.
i realize this is an old post, but i am so glad i found it. i am going to try it tonight! since you already use it on your hair, i’m sure you know how much else it can do – my husband and i both have used it to get rid of sinus infections, as well as a wart! i am loving this stuff!
