ACV helps in sealing the cuticles and since it's supposed to smooth the hair, it helps with detangling.. Well at least that's been my experience. I've used ACV rinse 3 times. The first time was a mess and my hair felt hard, but I think that was because my hair was low porosity. The last two times I've used it has been fine because I believe my hair's porosity has changed. it helped in smoothing and softening my hair which helped in detangling my 5 months post hair.

The Rinses helped me totally correct my Porosity issues.
Helped to restore hair to proper Ph Balance and close cuticle after DC'ing with Heat.
For me, Yes it worked.

My hair is definitely softer and shinier with a cold ACV rinse than without. It keeps moisture better too.
But for sleek, shiny hair, cassia worked the best for me.
I stopped doing it because it's a long process and I don't have time, but my hair was really slippy, shiny, and smooth when I kept up with the treatments:

I did an acv rinse once and my hair was very dry after. I had to do some extra moisturizing for at least a week.

When I do them regularly my hair stays moisturized longer and is smoother. It works for me as long as I make sure the solution is heavily diluted. I tried some of the higher ratios people were throwing out there (like 1 part ACV to 4 parts water) and my hair was a dry mess.

Thanks everyone! So, when do you recommend people use it?
My hair is healthy, moisturised (I don't even need to M and S anymore) and isn't breaking. I'm not sure about my porosity tbh, but I don't really see why I need to know.
But I hear such good things about ACV rinses, so should I bother?

And my Hair was double processed and my Porosity levels were 'off the charts' which is why I started doing them in the beginning.
Plus, I always DC with Heat which further raises/lifts the cuticle adding to the need to close/restrict them after the DC process, so incorporating an ACV Rinse was imperative for me.

I haven't had an SSK since I started... I think my SSKs were results raised cuticles from high porosity.

I notice my curls are more defined whenever I use ACV.

I had more curl definition after rinsing too but sadly ACV rinses didn't clarify my hair like I wanted it to so now I have to use a sulfate shampoo to clarify next wash day.

When I first went on my HHJ in 2009, I would notice that certain conditioners would sit on top of my hair and not penetrate. The feeling was like having squeaky, dry, coated hair. I used apple cider vinegar to rinse every week for three weeks. After that, the problem was fixed.
