Final rinse with apple cider vinegar
After rinsing out the conditioner, rinse with:
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in 1 liter of cold water.
This step balances the pH, closes the cuticle, increases shine, and combats water hardness.
Precautions when using apple cider vinegar on your hair:
Proper dilution: It is important to dilute apple cider vinegar before applying it to the hair to avoid irritation or dryness. pytcolombia.com+2BCI Instrumental+2Urbanladies+2
Frequency of use: Daily use is not recommended. Applying it once or twice a week is sufficient to obtain benefits without damaging the hair. BCI Instrumental
