Phenix Founder & Beauty Expert, Gina Rivera’s Tip of the Week Are you wondering what the buzz is about apple cider vinegar and if it’s good for your hair? Here’s what I recommend: – Apple cider vinegar can be used as clarifier to remove residue from products and the environment that build up on the hair and scalp. – Combine one part apple cider vinegar and five parts water. Use as a rinse after shampooing. Check with your stylist before using as those with a sensitive scalp may need to dilute more. (Hint: Apply the mixture with a spray bottle or pour it directly onto your hair. Allow it to sit for around three to five minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Then, condition as normal.) – Apple cider vinegar helps exfoliate scalp skin, which can help with dandruff and reduce dry itchy scalp. – Those with skin disorders, skin abrasions or hypersensitive scalp should avoid apple cider vinegar as it may promote further skin irritation. – Always consult with your stylist before starting a new clarification regimen. |
