Hey there,

To answer your question, I think there is a tremendous benefit to the ACV rinses while being natural. I know for me, it allows my curls to be more defined.

I can't speak on moisture or anything else. But I use this after washing and deep conditioning.

ACV is essential in IMO. I use it regularly after washing or cowashing.

I use an ACV rinse after every wash. A bit more diluted than most though, 1 capful in a jug of cold water. I find it has the following benefits:
- less frizz
- better curl definition
- shinier hair
- less tangles on the rare occasion I choose to comb my hair after leaving the shower

You probably dont need to use it daily. Just once every 1-4 weeks. It will help remove product build up and allow your hair to better respond to the products you use.

i use 1/4 cups acv to 4 cups of water and use it as a rinse. some people use 1/4 to 2 cups - but i use very diluted products. be careful not to use too much - i've heard some people complain of excessive dryness after using too much acv

Thank you for replying.

Hijack alert!!!!

thank you. After reading the previous post. I think she may be on to something about dryness. I dismissed it as a result of the horrible dye job I did on my hair prior to taking this siggy's picture. But it might be that I'm not diluting the ACV rinse enough. Or a combination of both. This morning I'm sitting at work with some ORS Replenishing Pak left in from last night. (PJ based on another thread)

I LOVE ACV rinses! ACV helps flatten your cuticles, and since you are natural, your cuticles should be strong and intact, so there is double the benefit!

ACV cleared up my dry scalp problem.
If your in for curl def its great.
Clarifys.
I love ACV

It's essential for me. I wear twistouts and I used to have to roll my ends when I twisted because they were straight when I took my twists down. Since I've been doing ACV rinses with cold water my ends curl nicely. I also used to have to twist my hair every night(too much manipulation) but now I only have to twist a couple of times a week.

Someone here told me I was using too much(1 cup to 1 cup of water). Now I've cut it down and use half a cup to 2 cups of water.

Does acv not smell weird to any of you? My Hair is in braids and I rarely use it because the scent of it lingers. Maybe I am not diluting enough?

I've had the smell linger once. I think I used too much ACV. Usually when I rinse and apply my product the smell goes away.
