How to Get the Hair of Your Dreams? Ditch Your ShampooAnti-shampoo advocates say the secret to glossier, healthier hair is going suds-free. Here, the best ways -- and products -- to do it |
The Method: Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse What It Is: Rinsing your hair with a mixture of apple cider vinegar (ACV) and water. Bova recommends a blend of 1/3 cup ACV and one liter of water (this will get you at least two rinses).
Benefits: Nussbaum says that the function of doing an ACV rinse is to balance the pH of your scalp, which keeps it healthy, shiny and dandruff-free. It can also help whisk away buildup from styling products.
Pros & Cons: Rinsing with ACV can fade your hair color, according to McMichael.
Tips & Tricks: "Apple cider vinegar doesn't leave your hair silky-smooth when you get out of the shower," Nussbaum warns. To ensure that it's soft when it dries, make sure your hair is thoroughly detangled. "Wet hair is far more fragile and can break more easily," she says.
