You're supposed to rinse it out completely.

Nonie said:Says who? @PinkSunshine77 many of us don't rinse it out (notice most people above said it's their FINAL rinse). In fact, I have ACV rinse in a spritz bottle that I use whenever I want to change my twists' style to something else, since they are easier to work with when damp. Or if I'm in a hurry and cannot do the dunk, then I'll towel dry my hair after rinsing conditioner off, and spritz it till it's very wet and I'm sure every strand has been bathed by ACV. I have NOT rinsed ACV from my hair since 2004 when I first learned of it, and my wash is not complete until I have had ACV solution running through my hair and I airdry with it on.
This is my hair dripp-drying after an ACV rinse.
The idea of the rinse is to leave your hair acidic so that cuticles stay closed and hair doesn't tangle. Why would you want to rinse it off?
PinkSunshine the idea of leaving it in is as Nonie said it's to impart a particular ph level on your hair which allows your cuticles to close or lay flat. If you add more water on top of that you change the ph level and that then opens up or raises the cuticle again becauses of the higher ph level. It wouldn't be wrong to rinse after the acv but it would be then using acv for an alternative purpose than neutralizing the ph level of your hair.
PinkSunshine77 said:I think y'all are doing it wrong. I can't understand why in the hell anyone WOULDNT rinse it out. Final rinse meaning rinse it completely out. You're not rinsing if you're leaving it in and not washing it out. That's what a rinse is.
