How to Make Your Hair Silky and Shiny with Vinegar



Centuries ago, people discovered that vinegar makes hair look silky and shiny. A simple mixture of vinegar and water smooths the hair cuticle and cleanses buildup. Using white or apple cider vinegar after shampooing your hair is an excellent way to revitalize its texture.



Using a Simple Rinse

Mix one part vinegar and one part water. Plain vinegar is too strong to use on hair, so it's important to dilute it with water first. One-fourth cup of vinegar and one-fourth cup of water should be enough for a single hair rinse.

Either distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar work well here. Many prefer using apple cider vinegar on the body because the smell is less intense.

If your hair is quite oily, you can add an extra tablespoon of vinegar. If your hair is dry or you tend to have dandruff, scale back the amount of vinegar by a tablespoon.
