What, are you ready to run to the store for this wonderful product? Do not rush, everything has its time. Before we go shopping, let's get a little distracted and find out exactly which vinegar is perfect for our hair. 
How to choose the perfect tool
So, on the shelves you can find two main types of this product, and I will tell you about the third option.
- Synthetic vinegar. From the "apple" in it - one name. It is a completely chemical product, prepared using flavors and preservatives. It is cheap, sold in plastic containers, and the labels must be marked with the word "flavors". Carefully read the vinegar! If you see such a litter - put the bottle on the shelf and never touch it again!
- Refined natural vinegar. It is manufactured industrially by treating the peel and the cores of fruits - that is, industrial wastes. This is not a very useful product, the effect of it will be minimal, but at least it will not harm your hair, so you can use it. Such vinegar is sold in dark glass bottles, on which it is necessarily written that it is made from natural raw materials with the addition of apple juice.
- Natural Apple Cider Vinegar This is a real panacea for us. Such a tool is almost impossible to find on the shelves - only from farmers and other household craftsmen. However, I see no reason to spend time searching for the elixir of beauty - it is not difficult to prepare apple vinegar at home, and I have already written in detail how to do this, read.
Attention! In no case can a synthetic product be used to prepare homemade cosmetics. There is a great chance that the damage caused to them will have to be corrected in salons, and even at the trichologist.
Vinegar in the home makeup bag: rules for use
Proper use of our today's hero is a simple matter. But even here it is necessary to follow simple rules in order not to harm the curls. 
- First, remember that the effectiveness of the effects of vinegar will depend on the naturalness of the product. I have already said that the ideal solution would be a home remedy, although a natural industrial one will also work.
- Further, apple cider vinegar (even personally cooked) should never be used in its pure form! You run the risk of dry hair and dermis, and even get a severe chemical burn. And such “pleasure” we, of course, do not need. So the most important rule is to use only a solution of vinegar.
- Allergy to this natural remedy is practically not found.At the same time, before the first cosmetic use of vinegar, you need to use the traditional test on the crook of the elbow - when a reaction is found, it is better to refuse the agent.
- Never apply the product if there are scratches or sores on the head.
- Do not forget that it is still acid, wash your hands thoroughly after touching the liquid, and make sure that the product does not burn the mucous membrane of the eyes, nose, throat.
- Any homemade cosmetic "things", and with vinegar including, can not be stored, so that in reserve to cook something will not work. Did - and immediately into battle!
- The effect of the recipes with our main character will be as effective as possible if the masks and rinses have the temperature of your body. And do not forget to wrap the masked hair with a towel - this gives an even brighter result. By the way, the effect of the etsete is not limited to just care: with its help you can quite successfully treat dull and weak curls.
Like all told, did not miss anything. Let's get down to the recipes. So, the liquid used in the preparation of home balms for hair, masks, rinses ... At the last you should pay special attention.
Apple Vinegar Hair Rinse
Rinsing with vinegar is an effective way to strengthen hair. The basic recipe is easier to prepare:
We will need a large spoonful of natural medicine per liter of pure water. Mix, rinse hair after washing and lightly blot with a towel - no need to rinse them with water.
Attention! In case you urgently need to dry your hair treated with vinegar, use a hairdryer in cold air mode.
Other usefulness can be added to the basic recipe - like toppings for ice cream:
- Essential oil. It will be enough 1-2 drops. Loose and weak hair can be “buttered” with sage oil - it will accelerate hair growth, give it softness and silkiness. Against dandruff, it is good to add ning-ylang or tea tree oil.
- A spoon of ginger juice stimulates hair growth and improves blood circulation in the skin, and lemon juice will lighten a little.
- You can prepare the rinses based on decoctions. Add 250 ml of broth to 1 liter of water, and of course vinegar. Here you are already guided by the properties of this or that herb: a remedy with chamomile or linden is perfect for blonde hair, and with nettle or rosemary for brunettes.
Interesting! If diluted vinegar in a ratio of 1: 2 (ie, 1 spoon of amber liquid 2 spoons of water) and pour it into a bottle with dispenser, you get a great tool for hair growth! Apply the spray on the hair roots in the same way as the rinse. By the way, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to give a delicate aroma and enhance the impact.
Universal multicomponent rinse
If you do not really understand how you can add all the above-mentioned utility, here is a rather complicated recipe for rinse. In addition to the above useful qualities, it has another distinct advantage - it is beautifully stored for a month. So, the composition:
- The main ingredient - 70 ml
- Ginger juice - a tablespoon,
- Lemon juice - a tablespoon (for blondes),
- Essential oil of cinnamon, ylang-ylang, bergamot - 5 drops each,
- Jojoba oil, almond or chamomile - 5 drops of one of them.
Gently mix all ingredients, pour into a suitable bottle and use as needed. This is done quite simply: it is enough to dissolve two tablespoons of the concentrate in two liters of water and rinse the hair after washing in the usual way.
How often can I use vinegar rinse? Differently. So oily hair is useful frequency 2-3 times a week, normal and combined - 1-2 times, and dry at all once a week. Personally, I do this every time after washing my hair.
You will notice the effect after applying the rinse after a week.The curls will become softer, more docile, a "mirror" shine and smoothness will appear, such unpleasant problem as dandruff gradually disappears. Yes, and reviews about this proven tool go only the most positive - so you can try without fear.
Interesting! Our hero can act instead of shampoo. It is lightly diluted with water (in some recipes they also add soda to neutralize the acid and normalize the PH of the scalp) and rub it into the roots of the hair, then rinse with water. But, I think that this is too radical a tool, so I will not recommend it - I will leave the mark “for common development”.
For braid to the waist
In 100 ml. water add a teaspoon of vinegar, an egg (for dry hair) or rye-bread pulp (for fatty) and a couple of teaspoons of honey. The resulting mixture is applied to the hair, wrap the head with polyethylene, insulate and leave for 2 hours. In a month, the result will be evident - or rather, on the head.
From split ends
Why do you need a beauty salon, if the effect of lamination can be achieved at home? To do this, mix a tablespoon of vinegar, 3 - water and 20 grams. gelatin. Heat the mass until the latter is dissolved (do not boil!), Add 2-3 drops of essential oil at your discretion and apply over the entire length of hair for 30 minutes. Wash off without shampoo. This tool is also easy hair straightening will give you.
In conclusion, I would like to share with you, dear readers, another great remedy with apple cider vinegar.
Hair spray
The beauty of this tool is that it does not need to be either diluted or prepared each time before use. Prepared, poured into a bottle with a spray and use as needed. For cooking you will need the following ingredients:
- Fenugreek seeds - a tablespoon,
- Natural vinegar - 2 ml,
- Vitamin B5 - 2 ml,
- Hydrolyzed Keratin - 3 ml,

First, we prepare a decoction of fenugreek seeds in the usual way: we brew the seeds in 150 ml of boiled water and leave to infuse for a couple of hours, or even overnight. Then alternately add all the other components. Spray ready! Ready means just spray on wet hair. You can store it in the refrigerator, it is possible at room temperature, if it is not above 20 ° C for a month.

Important editorial advice
If you want to improve the condition of your hair, special attention should be paid to shampoos that you use. A frightening figure - in 97% of shampoos of famous brands are substances that poison our body. The main components, due to which all the troubles on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate.
These chemicals destroy the structure of the hair, the hair becomes brittle, lose elasticity and strength, the color fades.But the worst thing is that this stuff gets into the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in the organs and can cause cancer. We advise you to abandon the use of funds in which these substances are located.

Tocopherol (vitamin E) strengthens hair follicles, weakened by exposure to the environment, unhealthy diet, stress.
The presence in this product of organic acids (acetic, malic, lactic, etc.), amino acids, phenolic substances make it a good antiseptic and antifungal agent.
Vitamins (including C, group B), micro-and macro-elements (potassium, calcium, silicon, magnesium, iron, etc.) have a nourishing and strengthening effect.
Apple, wine or table: the choice is yours
A very important question: what kind of hair vinegar should I choose in order to get really real effect from its use? Its most common types are table, apple, and wine.
- Table vinegar does little to help your hair. It is made from synthetic acetic acid and does not contain any other valuable substances. Its only benefit when rinsing is to neutralize the alkaline environment after applying shampoos.
- Natural vinegar contains vitamins, minerals, organic acids and many other valuable components, is a natural antiseptic. But, unfortunately, in industrial production it undergoes pasteurization, in which a large part of the useful substances is destroyed.
- Apple cider vinegar is no less rich in composition than wine. It is quite simple to cook it at home and have no doubt that you are using a natural product for rinsing hair.
Important! If you decide to use the store analog, you need to ensure its quality. Mandatory name: "Apple vinegar natural." Fortress - no higher than 6%. The composition should not be flavoring and coloring. Another sign of a natural product is a small sediment at the bottom.

Frequency of use matters
Do not get carried away and apply vinegar to your hair after each shampooing.
The number of procedures depends on the type of hair: for normal and dry enough 1 time per week, for oily - 2 times.

Depending on the desired result and the original hair color, this procedure can be carried out in several stages.
Important! If you want to reduce the number of procedures, the concentration of the solution can be increased to 2-3 tablespoons per glass of water. But do not forget that apple vinegar contains a lot of organic acids and, instead of the expected effect, the hair can be dried out.
For colored hair
Regular use of paints, chemical perm, hot blow-drying does not pass without a trace. Gradually, the hair becomes dry, brittle, dull.
Add to the vinegar solution (1 tablespoon per liter of water) just a few drops of essential oils of lemon and sage and conduct a course of rinsing 1-2 times a week. You will notice changes after the first procedures.
