Why is apple cider vinegar used for hair fall?
Apple cider vinegar is useful for natural alopecia treatment. The administration of this solution can treat many kinds of scalp and hair problems like split ends, hair breakage, hair damage, and hair fall.
- pH level regulation
Apple cider vinegar possesses a host of different organic acids like acetic acid, citric acid, and lactic acid which contribute to the maintenance of the pH level of the scalp. The preservation of pH balance is essential for the prevention of hair fall and the treatment of dandruff scalp and lice.
- Chemical buildup elimination
>Modern hair care products tend to cause a buildup of chemical residue on the scalp. This combines with sebum secreted by the scalp and causes hair fall and hair damage. When apple cider vinegar is applied on the scalp topically, it helps in the removal of this residue. It does this without losing the natural oils and sebum. Thus, this prevents the dryness of the scalp and hair fall.
- Scalp hydration
When you apply watered-down apple cider vinegar topically, it helps hydrate the scalp, treat any dry blisters and dandruff that causes hair loss.
How to use apple cider vinegar for hair loss and growth?
- Rosemary essential oil and apple cider vinegar
Rosemary essential oil is a boon for the hair as it helps promote natural hair regrowth. The addition of apple cider vinegar makes this remedy more helpful. Take raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar and plain water in the ratio of 1:4 and add a few drops of fragrant rosemary essential oil. Stir the contents to make a consistently mixed oil pack. Massage your scalp with the oil pack. Massage every hair strand from the roots to the tips with the mixture. Wait for about 10 minutes. To prevent the contamination of the scalp with external pollutants, put on a shower cap. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo. It is recommended to use shampoos with natural ingredients for the prevention of hair loss. Do this twice a week. Massaging the scalp and the hair with this mixture prevents alopecia and balding.
- Jojoba oil, peppermint oil, and rosemary apple cider vinegar (ACV) shampoo
This homemade shampoo works wonders for the health of the hair follicles. Jojoba oil helps in scalp hydration and hair moisturization. Peppermint oil works towards balancing the scalp’s pH level and aids in better hair regrowth. Rosemary and ACV help reduce scalp inflammation and irritation. This helps to cleanse the excess build-up of dirt.
Take a cup of water and add a bunch of rosemary into it. Let it boil for 5-10 minutes. Let the rosemary steep into it until the water reaches room temperature. Later, pour the water into your shampoo bottle. Add ¼ cup of jojoba oil, 1 cup of ACV, and 10-12 drops of peppermint oil. Mix it well. Massage this shampoo over your hair. Keep for 3-5 minutes and then rinse it off thoroughly.
- Apple cider vinegar hair rinse
This is the simplest of all remedies. It works wonders for your hair health. Take apple cider vinegar and water in the ratio of 1:4. Mix it in a bottle thoroughly. Wet your hair and smear this fluid all over your head and scalp. Massage thoroughly so that it reaches all over the scalp and deep to the roots as well. Rinse it off thoroughly with water after 10-15 minutes. You can use it twice a week. This hair rinse locks in the moisture and nourishment present in your hair. It helps clear off your scalp from residues and removes the impurities and irritants present in your hair.
Caution: Conduct a patch test to make sure that your scalp is not allergic to apple cider vinegar and rosemary essential oil. These should not get into your eyes.
