How do I balance the pH level in my scalp?

 What is scalp pH? How do I know if my scalp pH is off? Often times when the pH of the scalp is off or too alkaline, your hair will suffer. Flare ups of itchy, dry or flaky scalp can likely be attributed to your scalp pH having increased alkalinity. To restore the pH and maintain a perfect balance, Apple Cider Vinegar is a gentle yet effective toner for the skin and scalp.

Hair has an optimal pH range of 4.5–5.5, which means that when it is exposed to water or conditioner, its natural proteins are at their best and your scalp is in its optimal condition.  When balance is lost, it is easily regained with this simple kitchen staple, Apple Cider Vinegar, used as a rinse, adding in natural acidity to counter the high alkalinity. Easy, simple, natural solution that helps maintain the perfectly balanced and ideal growth environment for your hair.

How often should I use Apple Cider Vinegar on my hair?

Vinegar in all intents and purposes is acidic and can be drying. This is why diluting vinegar, no matter your intended use is always suggested.
