CV ACV Hair Rinse Lemongrass Tea Tree
About: CV's concentrated Lemongrass Tea Tree organic Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) rinse is infused with certified organic herbs and organic essential oils which are great for the hair and scalp. ACV is a good clarifying hair rinse since it helps to remove product buildup on the hair and scalp. Buildup can clog the follicles, leading to scalp conditions such as dandruff, and possibly hair loss. Since a lightweight apple cider vinegar rinse does not weigh hair down like other conditioners, it can help with volume and curl definition. ACV has antimicrobial properties that can help with an itchy or irritated scalp. The natural acidity of ACV helps smooth down the hair cuticles which helps decrease knots and tangles and reduce frizz. A smooth cuticle is better able to reflect light, giving hair a more healthy glow.
Please note the label on bottle you receive is green, not orange as it shows in photos.
Some other benefits of an ACV rinse:

Use
Directions For Whole Head Rinse: NEVER use undiluted Vinegar on your hair. CV's hair rinse is pure ACV and must be diluted. The typical suggested dilution is five parts water to one part vinegar. Which is about 1.5 tablespoons (22 ml) of AVC concentrate to 8 ounces (237 ml) of water. However each person's hair is unique.
Organic, raw, non-pasteurized vinegar appears cloudy with sediment on the bottom due to the “mother” which contains the natural living enzymes and nutrients.
- Since CV uses raw vinegar with natural "mother," please shake the ACV concentrate before use
- Add 8 ounces (237 ml) of warm water to Squeeze Bottle,* Spray Bottle, or measuring cup
- Add 1/2 - 2 Tablespoons (7.4 to 30 ml) of Herbal Vinegar and mix**
- Pour or spray through wet hair after shampooing
- Take care to avoid eyes
- Massage into hair and scalp, paying attention to ends
- Let sit for a couple of minutes
- Rinse it out thoroughly with cool water to help seal your hair’s cuticle***
- Towel dry
- The vinegar scent will disappear as the hair dries
- For long thick hair, the recipe can be doubled
- For short thin hair, the recipe can be halved
*Container Type: CV finds that using a squeeze bottle or spray bottle requires a lot less vinegar rinse than pouring the rinse on your head from a measuring cup. The premixed vinegar solution will last for about a week without refrigeration.
**Concentration Note:
- Way too many websites provide the "ideal" dilution amounts for ACV and water. The question is "ideal" for whom? You will need to experiment to find a dilution that works best for your hair type. Typically a dry scalp likes less ACV and oily scalp likes more.
- A range of 1/2 to 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (ACV) with 8 ounces (1 cup) of water is suggested since we all have different hair types.
- It is suggested you begin with 1/2 tablespoon of ACV to 8 ounces of water in order to judge how your hair and scalp will feel. Using 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) ACV to 8 ounces (1 cup) of water may be too concentrated for most.
***Rinse or Not Rinse: Some people find that they obtain better conditioning and detangling if they don't rinse all of the ACV out of their hair. Just remember that ACV is quite acidic and again you will have to judge for your own hair and scalp.
If you have very sensitive skin or are simply trying a new product for the first time, a patch test is recommended. For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
