Special hair rinse for scalp problems

Recommended:

Apple Cider Vinegar is used as an acidic rinse. An acidic rinse is so wonderful for your hair in many ways: It restores the natural PH balance of your hair and to close the cuticle ( great to use after chemical services such as hair coloring or perms). Since it closes the hair cuticles, this creates smoother, shiner hair. Apple Cider Vinegar also removes shampoo, conditioner and styling product buildup on the scalp or hair shaft, going one step further than regular shampoo. It also kills bacteria that causes dandruff, itchy scalp and has been known for an effective lice treatment. Regular Vinegar does all the same as above.
