Can someone tell me how to do an ACV rinse?

Does anyone on here do them, and if so, how do you do it? Would you recommend it? I've heard good things about it helping out with shedding, so I was going to give it a try today. Thanks ladies!!

1 Cup of Water
2 Tablespoons of ACV
1 Orange Peel
1/2 of an Avocado
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil.

Boil the water and orange peel. Then pour water into a blender, sans orange peel. Add ACV, Olive oil, and half peeled Avocado and blend. Apply to your hair, comb through for even distribution. Put on plastic cap and leave on for 15 minutes, no heat. Then rinse, shampoo & condition as usual.

I use ACV's at the end of my washes, after the conditioner; not before. I have never tried it before so I won't knock the idea, but my reason for using it at the end is I argue that since it closes the hair cuticle, it would make it harder for conditioner to penetrate the strands - not impossible, just harder. So I prefer to let the conditioner do it's thang, then rinse with lukewarm/cool water.

Then I make a solution of 1/4 ACV in water in a basin. I add 20 drops of rosemary EO and 20 of lavendar EO, If I have liquid sage or geranium EO, I add them too. I then dunk my head in the solution. While head is submerged in solution, I massage my scalp well, removing any remnants of conditioner that might cause itches, and at the same time helping improve circulation...Meanwhile my hair gets a good soak in ACV solution so that its pH returns to the normal acidic one, cuticles close locking in the goodness from the conditioner, making strands smooth and less likely to tangle, and improving shine.

Sounds interesting. Does this work well for you and how often do you use it? Would I be okay with just ACV and water for now?

I think I may use the same technique. I was actually going to do the ACV rinse before I conditioned, but thanks for posting your technique. I really hadn't thought of if that way.
