In this podcast, I'm going to answer another question about Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV). Is it safe to use on your hair?.
In other videos, I've talked about different apple cider vinegar uses and apple cider benefits when you take it internally. It can help with so many different things, such as digestion and blood sugars. But, you can also use apple cider vinegar (ACV) topically for your skin. This includes your scalp.
The acid in ACV is beneficial to your scalp, and when you take care of your scalp—your hair will reap some of the benefits.
I don't know why hair hacks with apple cider vinegar aren't mentioned more as hair care tips. Apple cider vinegar is one of those natural hair hacks that can work wonders. I think if you start including ACV in your hair care routine, you will really start to notice a huge change in the quality of your hair. Even better, it's natural hair care. You won't have to worry about unnecessary chemicals that are in some other hair care products.
Using apple cider vinegar for hair could help you achieve the same benefits as some hair care products in a much more natural way.

| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I had another question about apple cider vinegar and is it okay is it safe to use on your hair? |
| 0:50.0 | So let's talk about that. |
| 0:51.0 | So there's many benefits of taking the outside of |
| 0:53.4 | vinegar internally for your digestion, for your blood sugars, and you can also put it |
| 0:58.6 | on your skin topically because your skin is slightly acidic, okay? |
| 1:03.0 | And I'm talking about the scalp as well. |
| 1:05.8 | So by using apple cider vinegar correctly, |
| 1:08.1 | you can do several things. |
| 1:09.5 | Number one, you can help to restore the pH of the scalp. You can actually give your hair a nice shine. |
| 1:16.0 | And it can also clean up some of the residues that you get when you use shampoos and conditioners. |
| 1:22.0 | And as a side note, I highly recommend getting a filter that can pull out |
| 1:26.7 | chlorine and fluoride from your water because those two chemicals are halogens and they're very reactive on your skin |
| 1:34.6 | which can give you all sorts of acne type issues they could damage the hair. |
| 1:39.6 | So here's what you don't want to do. You don't want to apply the opposite of vinegar directly in the concentration that it normally comes in because that could damage the hair. |
| 1:49.0 | You want to use a dilution of one tablespoon for 16 ounces of water. And you don't want to have it sit in the |
| 1:57.8 | hair for a long period of time. You want to basically use it as a rinse, after you use the shampoo and conditioner if that's what you use. And I also |
| 2:06.0 | recommend not doing every single day, maybe once or twice a week is fine. And I |
| 2:10.6 | think you're going to notice a huge change in the quality of your hair. |
| 2:14.3 | Go ahead and try it and then comment below. |
