Apple Cider Vinegar for Hair Repair: DIY ACV Spray Recipe
Author: 
Serves: 1 jar of concentrate
 
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Pack a clean glass jar ¾ of the way full with your dried herbs.
  2. Fill the jar with vinegar and cover with a plastic lid or line a metal lid with parchment or wax paper.
  3. Let sit for a minimum of 2 weeks up to 6 weeks.
  4. Strain and compost or discard the herbs and put the herbal vinegar in a clean jar. You just made an herbal acv vinegar concentrate that keeps for 1-2 years! Now we need to dilute it to use it for our spray.
To Dilute:
  1. Combine 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water in a spray bottle. You can safely store your diluted vinegar spray for up to 2 weeks. I like to dilute just enough to last 2 weeks at a time. I use about a tablespoon of spray each use.
When to Use:
  1. After shampooing and conditioning, apply a generous amount of your spray to hair and scalp. Massage your scalp down through your ends. Leave on hair and allow to dry. No vinegar scent will be present after your hair is dry. Enjoy your soft and strong hair!
How Often to Use:
  1. Since everyone is different with different types of hair, the amount you should use this spray varies. You'll have to experiment to find what works the best with your hair type. In general, dry hair prefers less ACV and oily hair needs more. Those with oily hair may find they can use it every day. Dry hair generally prefers every few days. I tend to be on the drier side and use it every time I shampoo/condition my hair, which is 2 times a week.
