My Overnight Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Treatment
Before starting, I gathered a few essentials:
- Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (with the “mother”)
- A spray bottle for easy application
- A shower cap to lock in moisture
- An old towel to protect my pillow
Step 1 – Diluting the Vinegar
Since ACV is acidic, I mixed it with water in a 1:1 ratio to make it gentle enough for my scalp.
Step 2 – Applying to Hair and Scalp
I sprayed the mixture evenly from roots to ends, then gently massaged my scalp to improve absorption.
Step 3 – Covering Overnight
With my shower cap on, I went to bed and let the vinegar work overnight.
The Next Morning: What Happened
When I woke up, there was only a faint vinegar smell. My hair wasn’t sticky or greasy. After rinsing with lukewarm water and using a mild shampoo, I was surprised by the results:
- My hair felt softer, smoother, and shinier
- Frizz was reduced, giving a sleek finish
- My scalp felt clean and itch-free
