ACV rinse , diluted or raw?

[JayHawkMechanic]

I read somewhere on here that it's best to use the 5% diluted vinegar when using it for a hair rinse, can somebody remember why? I have used the diluted bottle and today I bought the raw unpasteurized bottle of vinegar to try but, I can't seem to find the post that I read a while back that stated that it was better to use the diluted bottle, and I'd like to remember why before I experiment on my hair and scalp Chris

I just used regular Heinz stuff mixed about 50/50 with shower water. That stuff really does make a big difference with the hair, making it very smooth (I have dry, wavy hair). But I don't believe it's any nutritional content, just the pH of the vinegar.

Vinegar in a not-weak-enough dilution will tend to dry your hair out.

I never found that. If anything, it helped seal the cuticle and help it retain moisture. But I wasn't doing it every day.

Maybe it depends on how long your hair is. I know people who can't use ACV rinses in any dilution, as it tears their hair up.

Always dilute it, about a tablespoon in a pint of water, and it doesn't matter if it's grocery store variety or raw health food store variety.

ACV diluted can help ease Dandruff issues, dilution is 50/50 and it's recommended to leave it in overnight. If you don't want to overnight it, I'd recommend at least a 3 minute stay in the hair before rinsing and repeating. A tablespoon of ACV ~30minutes before meals aids in digestion and relieves heartburn, which is actually do to a lack of stomach acid during digestion.

I've tried it both ways and I prefer the 50/50 dilution.
