Does apple cider vinegar help detox your hair?

Detoxing your hair with apple cider vinegar will help remove dust and residue, making it look shiny. Further, there are additional benefits of ACV that you ought to know:

Helps in reducing tangles - If your hair often gets tangled or develops knots, it is possible to get rid of them by using ACV. After rinsing your hair with apple cider vinegar, you have to comb it properly to remove those knots.

Effective for defrizzing hair - Apple cider vinegar can help smooth frizzed hair, making it a go-to option for people with textured or curly hair.

Fights hair loss - Hair loss generally happens due to the use of highly concentrated products, which imbalances the pH level of the hair. Treating hair with apple cider vinegar can reduce hair fall.

Effect on strength - When apple cider vinegar is directly applied to the hair's cuticle, it can reseal the cuticles, thereby strengthening the hair.

Prevention of discoloration - Apple cider vinegar is a safe product for colored hair.

How often should I detox my hair with apple cider vinegar?

Try to use apple cider vinegar 2-3 times a week along with your daily hair-washing routine. It is also based on the type of your hair. If you have dry hair, it is recommended to use it one to two times a week. However, if your hair tends to be oily, rinse it more frequently with apple cider vinegar.

So, dilute the concentration of the apple cider vinegar to prevent damage to the outer layer of hair (cuticles).

1. Mix apple cider vinegar with the water in a ratio of 1:4 (for example, if you are taking 100 ml of ACV, mix it with 400 ml of water). Increase it by three times if you have long hair.

2. Fill this mixture in a spray bottle and spray it on your hair evenly so it is adequately coated with this blend.

3. Use your fingers to properly coat the hair with ACV-water mix. If you feel a burning sensation, dilute the mixture by adding more water.

4. Lean your head back and leave apple cider vinegar to settle on the hair for three to five minutes.

5. Rinse your hair and scalp with water and clean it properly. You can also rinse your hair further with a light conditioner.

6. Post-drying your hair, you can witness shiny and beautiful hair.

Apple cider vinegar hair detox for locks

Apple cider vinegar is slowly gaining popularity as one of the most popular choices for locks detox. For dread detox, which is a deep cleaning method for removing dirt, odors, and sebum from the hair, compounds like apple cider vinegar are a perfect choice. Since hair shampoos and gels often leave residue in the hair, it can damage the follicles severely. People with dreadlocks are more likely to have this problem since dust and dirt accumulate in large quantities in their hair.

In this situation, apple cider vinegar can be a practical option. It contains acetic acid and is also rich in vitamins B and C, preventing the growth of fungi and bacteria. It can even reduce dandruff problems. So, doing a regular ACV cleansing routine is advised to maintain the health and strength of your locks.

Pro tip: apple cider vinegar and baking soda for hair detox

Combining apple cider vinegar and baking soda can help defrizz and maintain shiny hair. Rinsing your hair with ACV after washing with baking soda can effectively balance the pH value of hair and keep it moisturized and protected. With every hair remedy, this, too, comes with a precaution. In general, the pH level of baking soda is high so try not to overdo the rinsing, as it can damage your hair.

Using apple cider vinegar for the hair detox process can be a worthy choice. It can improve the health of the follicle, remove dust and dirt, reseal the cuticles, prevent hair loss, and increase hair strength. Along with this method, you can also improve your eating habits and change your lifestyle to have healthy and shiny hair.
