The truth: Do acv rinses clarify or not?

[TexturedTresses]

I just read an article stating that it does not clarify. It only removes residue from that shampoo/conditioning session and not build up on the hair shaft. Can someone please clarify?

That made me chuckle.

I really don't know the answer. I've read that people use it to clarify but then others say it doesn't. I don't know if it removes cones, which I would think is the most important part of clarifying. I'm sure others will chime in though.

I use it to snap my hair shaft close.

Well...I read on this website that it doesn't clarify. They go into detail as well.

click onto curlreading(at the top of the homepage), then scroll down the article is called the scoop on vinegar. She basically says that acetic acid in various vinegars act as a mild chleator (depending on how long you leave it in). She has me interested in coconut vinegar.

From what I know they don't remove silicones, but if you use shampoo bars or butters then they help with that issue. If I use something with silicones I have no choice but to use a sulfate shampoo to remove them on the next wash, but then I'll still follow with acv to restore my hair, which it always does the trick.
