How often can you use this? My hair loves it... Is once a week too often...
Do you do it before or after deep conditioning? Which way is better?
 
I used to do acv rinses weekly with no problem at all.

This is the order that works for me:

shampoo
acv rinse
condition

I selected that order because I always wanted my hair to get the full effect of the conditioner.

HTH.
 
Thank you Allandra...
I will try it tomorrow...

My hair loves it and is so, so soft and managable after I use it...

Thanks Again
 
I do them every time I wash my hair. (Unless it's too cold and I really dont feel like it)

I shampoo/CO wash/condition then ACV rinse. I use a lot less than some people do though. I use 1/2 to 1 capful of ACV to a 1.5 pint jug of cold water.
 
Thank you ladies....

Supergirl, I love the ACV rinse done last... My hair loves it...

But your hair is georgeous, why change?:)
 
I do it once a week in the same order as Allandra. Sometimes I do it AFTER I deep con as a final rinse. Both ways work for me.
 
So, can I just put some ACV in a spray bottle and use it that way then rinse? Or must I dilute it first?
 
I always use this amount... 2 oz.ACV added to 14oz of distilled water... I sometimes use a little less ACV.... And it seems to work good...
 
I do mine in the order Allandra does hers, but I don't do them every week. However, I don't think doing them weekly would harm the hair unless you didn't follow with a moisturizing DC.

Patiencevirtue, there are a variety of uses. Some people use them to clairfy while others use them for conditioning properties and still others use them as a detangling rinse.
 
YOur hair is beautiful! :) A true Inspiration, indeed! ;) I begin co washing bcuz my hair and poo dont agree :ohwell: ...how often do u recommend I ACV to clarify ? I am new to this...but I am determined :)

Thanks!

I would use it to clarify however often you'd use a clarifying poo. Most folks just substitute ACV because it doesn't leave the hair as stripped as the sulfates & detergents in poo.

I started doing acv rinses a few months ago and at first I was doing them every couple days because there seemed to be a lot of build up (it felt slimey running out of my hair), once it felt clean, I slowed to once a week. I also use a heavy concentration, something like 1/3 acv to 2/3 distilled water.
My hair seems okay with it, very float-y! Lot's of movement with little breeze to make it move. (when I flat iron. when I leave it curly, I have real precise curl definition).
I shampoo, then ACV rinse, then condition. I know a lot of people don't do it that way, but I think the ACV should clean out any deposits left by the shampoo and make the hair more receptive to the condition- which is SUPPOSED to linger in the hair in order to condition it.
Oh yeah, sometimes I add some tea tree oil if my scalp seems a little flakey.

Sorry O/T: Those babies in your siggy are so precious looking. I WANT ONE! (I mean of my own your grandbabies are safe:D ) off to find the SO...
 
I love ACV rinses and do them the way LadyZ does hers: at the end of the wash. I don't worry about losing the effect of the conditioner because ACV's seal hair cuticle so lock in the conditioner goodness, and so love to apply conditioner while cuticle is still raised from the alkalinity of shampoos so there is ease of penetration and then after rinsing the conditioner out, let the ACV seal my cuticle. Since most people apply leave-in conditioners, that takes care of that fear of losing the effect of the conditioner on the surface of the hair. Also doing it last makes sure I don't have any conditioner residue left on my scalp which could lead to itches.

SG, you have to dilute the ACV coz too much acidity can wreck havoc on your hair. I use about a 1/4 cup in a basin of water. I argue that even a touch of acidity is better than none. I usually add EO's of rosemary, lavendar and liquid sage, and dunk my head in the solution and massage my scalp to my heart's content. It's funny you mention a spray bottle coz I used to make an ACV spritz to use as a leave in. The recipe was:

Essential Oil Vinegar Rinse

2 tablespoons (8 teaspoons/40 ml) apple cider vinegar
20 drops lavender oil
20 drops rosemary oil
10 drops geranium oil (or lemon oil if hair is oily)
Rain or distilled water
1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin

Mix essential oils and vinegar together in a 300ml spray bottle. Fill up with purified or rain water. Shake well before use.

To use: Rinse the hair after shampooing then spray thoroughly with the vinegar rinse.
Don't rinse out.

LadyZ, I did ACV rinses after every wash and never regretted it. I got lazy when winter came as I didn't wanna be in water that long and so skipped that step. My hair took a downward turn. I am now back on track.

After skimming OVER the acv rinse mentions again and again, I decided to read up on them a little yesterday. After hearing so many people talk about how good they were and doing some research, I stopped on my way home yesterday and got myself some acv and distilled water, since I wanted to do a CW anyway. I did my CW, then my acv rinse and deep conditioned right after (with Elucence and EVOO), added my leave-in and sealed with my Kemi Oyl.

Can I just say .............................OMG!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: I am soooooo pleased with the results (and I am not easily impressed)!! My hair is unbelievably mosturized (the lack of which is always a problem for me and my fine head of hair). So from a former lurker and now newbie and infrequent poster to all the LHCF ladies who are so helpful with posting their experiences, recipes, etc., I say........

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

I'm so happy, I'm about to cry!!!:cry:
 
I love ACV’s its one of the things that I immediately see results from. I like to do it with warm water and only ¼ part ACV I like to let it run thro my hair and it leaves it soft and clarified. I have been slacking on it lately since I got the V05 kiwi lime shampoo and it smells good and clarifies but the softness I get from ACV doesn’t happen with V05. so this is a friendly reminder for me to ACV tonight… tho lately I have felt to busy to really get into my hair. I have been doing wash-n-go’s like it’s a new trend .. ok lemme stop rambling.
 
I bought some ACV 2day...Im gonna use it 2 c how my hair responds...im 11wks post and my scalp has build up from Co washing...should i pre-poo, then ACV rinse,then DC? Please help a sis' out:)
 
I've tried it both ways: first shampooing then acv rinse then dc and also doing acv rinse after dc (as Guyaneek posted). My opinion.................I like doing it after dc. My hair was and STILL remains much more moisturized than usual. I love it!

I never thought of adding oils to it.... I must try that..... Thanks
 
I decided to be a good girl and not start a new thread about it. :p In the new issue of Cosmo they have this hair tip in their beauty section that's basically and ACV rinse/prepoo. I thought "Who at Cosmo is stalking LHCF?" :lachen:

The recipe is ACV, EVOO, well they just say Olive oil, Orange peels, and water. Mix it in a blender, and boil it, or vice versa (trying to remember by heart here) and then coat your hair and let it sit for 30 minutes then shampoo and condition. They gave it as a tip for instant shine.

This pushed me to buy some ACV today, I'm thinking of doing this, this weekend. But, I'm also planning to do my Emergencee, with my wash, as well as DC and I have no idea of the order of steps I should do all this, if I should even do this at all. Is it too much, or will it be a wonderful treat my hair will thank me for? Altogether it's, (not in order) Botanoil Shampoo Treatment, Emergencee, Moisturizing DC, ACV. What would you do and how would do it?

TIA!
