Rinsing hair in vinegar for shine? White or apple cider (filtered or not)? Rinse after i wash or before? If so?

Soaps and shampoos are alkaline based chemicals.


For some reason, the soapy alkaline scum coats your hair shaft with a film that builds up and makes your hair dull and icky.


Put about an ounce of vinegar (a shot glass is a good measure) in a large plastic container and fill with 3-4 cups of water.


After you wash and rinse your hair, use this vinegar solution as a second rinse, working it through from your scalp to the ends of your hair. If you think it smells strong (it shouldn't because the vinegar should be very diluted) you can rinse again with water.


The vinegar is acid based and so cuts through, dissolving the soap scum and leaving your hair squeaky clean and shiny.Rinsing hair in vinegar for shine? White or apple cider (filtered or not)? Rinse after i wash or before? If so?
Not only will the vinegar make your hair shine but it will also make it softer. It really doesn't make any difference as to which type of vinegar you use. You rinse it after you wash it and then rinse it again after you use the vinegar. I've done this for many years and it definitely does work.
My mom does that! She uses apple cider vinegar (she always says not to use white) and rinses her hair with it (diluted with water, of course) AFTER she washes. Then she just rinses her hair again. Her hair looks nice and shiny (and it's not greasy). That's supposed to strengthen your hair, too (according to my mom), make it fall out a lot less.





*EDIT*


Oh, yeah, I forgot: use filtered vinegar.
I've heard that apple cider vinegar (filtered) is better. I've also heard that it's best to use it between washing and conditioning.





And for the record-- when you use vinegar in your hair, you will smell it when it's drying, but the smell is gone when your hair is dry.
Washing hair in vinegar only worked to restore shine when women used regular bar soap to wash their hair. The soap left residues in the hair, and the vinegar stripped away the residues. It won't work if you're already using hair shampoo. Sorry.
just get some good shampoo. vinegar will make your hair smell like bad stuff.
