Apple cider vinegar is known for its health benefits – but now, it's being used as a hair treatment (and you won't believe the results).
Apparently, the astringent properties will tighten the cuticle of hair strands, locking moisture in the hair and protecting colour pigments that have been deposited in the cortex. This makes it perfect for amping up

The more potent the smell, the more acidic the apple cider vinegar.”
Anything that is going to be applied topically to the skin or hair must not have a pH that's too acidic, or else it could cause irritation. This conveniently means that it also won't smell as strong. “At R+Co, we can formulate ourat a 4.0 pH consistently, making sure you get the best benefits without the risk of being overly acidic.
