how to apply apple cider vinegar on hair - #36844
I am dealing with some serious hair problems. My scalp tends to be super oily, but the ends of my hair are dry and kinda frizzy, ugh! I read this article the other day saying that apple cider vinegar can help balance things out, but like honestly, I have no clue how to apply apple cider vinegar on hair. I tried mixing a little bit with water and just poured it on my head, but it was such a mess! Some of it got in my eyes and it burned a bit, which was totally not fun. I was thinking maybe I'm not using the right amount or something? Or maybe I need to do it a different way? I also keep wondering how to apply apple cider vinegar on hair and keep it from just making it worse, y'know? My friends say rinse it out after a few mins, but what if I leave it too long? Do I need to worry about smell too? I've seen some mixed opinions online about the whole thing. Like, does it actually help with dandruff or just make it worse? Just looking for some tips that worked for you guys, cause the whole hair situation is stressing me out a bit. Any advice on how to apply apple cider vinegar on hair effectively would really help! Thanks!

Applying apple cider vinegar (ACV) to your hair can indeed be beneficial, especially when targeting issues like oily scalp and dry ends. The trick lies in balancing the potent acidic nature of ACV with the right method of application, ensuring it complements the natural pH of your scalp. Here’s how you can use ACV more effectively on your hair:
First off, dilute the ACV properly to avoid irritation; a common approach is mixing one part ACV to three or four parts water. This reduced concentration helps prevent the harshness you experienced and minimizes the risk of burning it your eyes.
When applying, here’s a method that may work better: After shampooing, pour the diluted solution into a spray bottle. This allows for a controlled application, targeting your scalp without over-saturating your ends. Spray it directly onto your scalp and gently massage it in. Focus on covering the areas that feel most oily.
Once applied, let the solution sit for about 5 to 10 minutes. This is generally enough time for the ACV to balance the scalp’s pH and address dandruff issues without over-drying your hair. Remember, leaving it on for too long may increase dryness, especially at the ends.
Rinse thoroughly with cool water. This step not only removes the ACV but also helps in sealing your hair cuticles, reducing frizz. As for the smell, it should dissipate after rinsing, but if it lingers, try a few drops of essential oil, like lavender or rosemary, in the final rinse.
ACV is known for its antifungal properties, which can sometimes help with dandruff, but ensure your hair care routine is holistic and aligns with your unique needs. If your scalp remains oily, consider washing hair less frequently, as over-washing can sometimes provoke more oil production. Make sure to monitor how your hair responds to find the right frequency for this ACV rinse, maybe once a week.
Always connect these practices with Ayurveda’s focus on Prakriti (constitution) and Dosha balance, keeping in mind your specific hair type needs. If the issue persists or worsens, it might be helpful to consult a professional Ayurvedic practitioner to explore other natural remedies or underlying imbalances.
