When you make the switch from SLS shampoo products to a natural shampoo bar, it is critical to do an apple cider vinegar hair detox. What this means, is you are simply removing the artificial greases in hair conditioners that stay on your hair.

When you have been using regular SLS shampoo and it's conditioner counterpart, here's what you actually do:

You wash your hair with a detergent that stripes your hair, including your last shampooing's hair conditioner. If you pay attention, your hair feels dry and stiff after it has been shampooed.

You then apply an artificial grease that coats each individual hair. This is called hair conditioner. The artificial grease attracts moisture from the air and attaches it too each hair. This makes your hair feel heavy and it makes it take a long time to dry. This hair care method will also give your hair volume and shine.

The downside, is these chemical ingredients will absorb through your scalp, and leave small chemical deposits on your vital organs, causing you problems as you age.

Is Vinegar Good For Your Hair?

Once your hair is free from chemical ingredients in hair conditioners, the hair repair process begins and you are ready to begin your transition to a natural shampoo bar.

AVC Hair Rinse

ACV hair rinse is a simple task that you can do often depending on your hair type and your hair and scalp needs. Do this apple cider vinegar detox the same as you would normally wash your hair.

The technique is easy:

For those of you with a lot of thick long hair, you may need 1/2 - 3/4 cup of vinegar, mixed in 1-2 cups of water.

For those of you with little hair, a tablespoon or 2, mixed in a 1/4-1/3 cup of water, may be enough. Rinse with water. Then shampoo and again massage your scalp and hair all the way to the ends. This 1st shampooing may not be very lathery as it washes off the vinegar. Shampoo a second time and you'll get a nice lather and fabulously clean hair.

When your vinegar with water mix is ready, pour the mixture on your hair, avoiding any contact with your eyes. Massage the vinegar/water mix into your scalp and all the way to the tips of your hair. Gently rub your hair around as if you were washing it.

Rinse the vinegar off with water. You are now ready to wash your hair with your new natural shampoo bar.
