Anybody here still doing ACV rinses...?

If so, how often are you ladies doing them nowadays, and in what ways has it benefitted your hair?

I'm not using ACV, but I'm still doing acid rinses - I use citric acid, instead.

For my hair, it leaves it very smooth and that helps prevent tangling/knotting for me - less for the strands of hair to catch on.

I use it mixed in with my coffee as the final rinse on my hair everytime I wash my hair (usually weekly, sometimes I'll let a week slide).

Okay so i bought the applecider vinegar from the super market and have yet to use it.

Oh yes ! My hair LOVES the acv rinse. I was being lazy mixing it and was using PC mixed in with my DC for a while, and there's such a huge difference in my hair when I went backto the acv. I mix acv, distilled water, aloe vera juice, honeyquat, and wheat germ oil together and use it liberally as a final rinse. My hair is stupidly soft after. That, steaming, and ayurveda have been three of the best things I've done for my hair since I've been here !

I use ACV once a week as a final rinse after a steam DC (75ml of ACV to 1 Litre of spring water; this mixture can be used for multiple washes). After incorporating this as my final step, honestly, my hair was soo soft, smooth, shiner, locked-in more moisture and was virtually tangle free . I highly recommend it!

If I clarify, use a harsh shampoo or baking soda, I ALWAYS follow up with an ACV rinse. Let it sit for 1-2 mins and then rinse with cold water. The acidity brings my hair back to its normal pH.

I still use an ACV rinse as my final rinse. I use it to smoothe & close my cuticles. I keep a bottle of ACV & water next to the tub.

I use it at the end of every wash. It hasn't hurt my hair to do so and so I have not intention of ever stopping

How has it benefited my hair? Well, the first time I realized how soft my hair was and how cute each strand was, was after I'd washed my hair, conditioned and did an ACV rinse. I hadn't applied anything to it and not only did it seem to have a natural sheen I've never seen before it was so soft to touch that I was totally sold on not applying anything to my hair again. It felt so good to the touch that I didn't want to spoil that with any product. I then made it a part of my regimen and I can't say I have any issues.

I know that my hair doesn't tangle coz I keep it stretched but perhaps ACV has a little to do with that. The way the strands just fall apart say if my hair unravels from a twist during a wash leads me to think that every strand is smooth enough not to hook onto the one beside it, and I'd imagine ACV sees to that.

Wow, this is making me so excited. Thanxx for the post OP, cant wait until I get on this...

I used to religiously do them weekly, ever since I changed my regime to cowashing regularly I forgot all about an acv rinse until washing today... and now this thread... I'd like to do them once a week or once every fortnight
