Apple cider vinegar is often used to treat dandruff issues because it can help reduce the buildup of dead skin cells on the scalp, as well as restore the scalp's natural pH balance. Here's how to use apple cider vinegar to solve dandruff issues:
-
Dilute apple cider vinegar: Mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts warm water. You can also add a few drops of essential oil to enhance the scent.
-
Apply the solution to your scalp: After washing your hair, pour the diluted apple cider vinegar solution onto your scalp. Gently massage the solution into your scalp and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Rinse your hair: Rinse your hair with warm water to remove the apple cider vinegar solution. You can also use a mild shampoo to remove any residual odor.
-
Repeat: Repeat this method once a week for best results.
It is important to note that apple cider vinegar can irritate the scalp if you use it pure or if you do not dilute it properly. If you experience any burning or stinging, rinse immediately.
