apple cider vinegar rinse recipe for relaxed hair

hello everyone this is breanna rutter authorof one of my most popular books the natural hair bible and founder of howtoblackhair.comfor these videos i answer the questions that you all send me via email so if you have anyquestions you would like for me to answer check out the description box below for moreinformation this video is because of an email i received from liz and liz wonders if shejust does a vinegar rinse on her hair if that's enough to keep her hair clean so this is agreat question and i don't get this question as frequently as i thought i would or thinki and what i am going to do is answer this sop you can understand the need for a vinegarrinse on your hair so first off vinegar rinses are great for actually closing your cuticlesand making your hair retain as much moisture

as possible by strengthening your hair andit also makes your hair more shiny so if you have issues with your hair looking dull ifyou have issues with retaining moisture this is a great thing to do because vinegar isvery acidic, acidic products closer to going outside of your hair strands which makes yourhair less frizzy more smooth and shiny now products that are more alkaline raise theph of your hair which opens the cuticle makes it easier for things to absorb and can alsoleave your hair frizzy in this situation that’s the only thing this product is going to dois just provide a rinse for your hair to retain moisture better and also make it shiny whichleads me to my second vinegar does not actually cleanse the hair it more so helps to benefitthe actual nature of your hair but what is

going to cleanse her hair and scalp are productsthat have surfactants present now there are safe surfactants there is harsh surfactantsuch as sulfate which is a harsh surfactant and a good (gentler) surfactant is cocoa betaine,cocoa betaine is a natural derivative from coconut oil that allows for the dandruff andgrime or any dirt on your hair to actually safely lift from your scalp from your hairsulfates on the other hand little bit more harsh because it wicks away moisture internallyfrom your hair and i only suggest that you use sulfates for a deep cleanse so if youbeen using a lot of silicones on a lot of hair products that's when you want to usea deep cleansing shampoo that has sulfates present but to make sure you're just maintainingclean hair while also preserving moisture

internally within your hair you want to usecocoa betaine for example which is a safer surfactant so then my last tip is that youwant to make sure that when you are doing your vinegar that you only focus it on yourhair this can make a scalp feel very itchy because of the acidity of the vinegar so itsbest that you just apply it onto your hair and rinse it out with cool water if you stillsmell the smell or something like that uses safer alternative conditioner or shampoo towash your hair and then rinse once again but when rinsing with vinegar a little goes along way as you like pickle walking around so just use a little bit of vinegar into alarge container of water rinse it just on your hair and then rinse it out on with warmwater and then seal in the moisture and increase

that shininess by rinsing with cool waterso i hope you understand that vinegar doesn't technically cleanse your hair i know a lotof people use it to provide a deep cleanse but is more so responsible for helping youto keep your cuticles close to retain moisture so thanks for your email liz and also i wantto thank all of you for watching as well having
