ACV is known for its acidic nature, primarily due to acetic acid, which can help to balance the pH level of the scalp. It also contains vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for hair health, such as B vitamins and vitamin C. In addition, ACV is believed to have antimicrobial properties, which can help combat scalp infections and dandruff.

I also did a patch test to ensure I wouldn’t have an adverse reaction. With everything in place, I was ready to see how my hair would respond to an overnight ACV treatment.
