The recent developments in natural health remedies, Apple cider vinegar(ACV), is stealing a lot of limelight. 

ACV is a fermented liquid made from crushed apples, minerals, and acid. 

While most of its benefits are linked with weight loss and regulating sugar levels in the body, ACV has also shown hair care benefits.

Experts have claimed that it relieves scalp conditions, nourishes hair follicles, and smoothens the hair. 

Read along to learn the evidence-based benefits of apple cider vinegar for hair and ways to use it safely. <\/p>\n\n\n

Is apple cider vinegar good for your hair<\/h2>\n\n\n

As per research, no direct evidence shows the benefits of ACV for hair. 

Experts claim that it works in the following ways to nourish the scalp and ensure healthy<\/a> hair, <\/p>\n\n\n

Balances pH <\/h3>\n\n\n

The pH of hair and scalp<\/a> normally ranges from 4.5 to 5.5. 

A 2014 study<\/a> found that hair care products like shampoo and conditioner can disturb the pH of hair and scalp, leading to hair dryness and breakage. 

Apple cider vinegar has an acidic pH in the range of 2.5 to 3.5. 

Its moderate acidity closes hair cuticle scales, making them smoother and less breakable.

ACV can, thus, help restore equilibrium, although it may not permanently change scalp pH.<\/p>\n\n\n

Es un hecho:<\/div>
The acidic properties of apple cider vinegar come from acetic acid. Apple cider vinegar comprises 5-6% of acetic acid, which has many health benefits. <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Clears your scalp <\/h3>\n\n\n

Hair follicles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using a lot of hair care products can block the hair follicles and restrict hair growth. 

The acidic properties of Apple cider vinegar remove the product buildup and clean off the dust and oil. 

It breaks down and dissolves the residues that accumulate on the scalp and hair. 

This helps to leave the scalp and hair feeling<\/a> cleaner and less weighed down by product residue.<\/p>\n\n\n

Prevents dandruff and itchy scalp<\/h3>\n\n\n

Apple cider vinegar is often praised for its antimicrobial properties.

A research article<\/a> published in Nature Journal shows that it restricts the growth of bacteria and fungi. 

It contains acetic acid, which has antimicrobial properties that may help<\/a> control the growth of fungi, such as Malassezia, which is associated with dandruff. 

By controlling the growth of fungi and bacteria, ACV may contribute to a healthier scalp environment and prevent itching, flaking, or irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n

Smoothen hair cuticles<\/h3>\n\n\n

ACV’s acidic nature helps smooth down the cuticle of a person’s hair.

When it reduces the frizz by balancing the pH, it also detangles the knots, giving the hair a smooth feel. <\/p>\n\n\n
