It's a great detangler!!!

French translation


Hello! I've got extremely thick and kinky curly hair.

I am African American with natural hair and many have told me they don't know how I keep a natural look and how I deal with combing.

Well I've discovered that After shampooing and conditioning and then rinsing with an apple cider vinegar solution, just blot dry your hair and then comb from end to root and you will notice how much easier it is to get the comb to go through without any pain at all.

It is a life saver for all my natural sistahs who complain about combing and who are tender headed like myself.

Peace!

by: Anonymous

Unbelievable!

One of my granddaughters has very coarse hair that is extremely hard to comb after it has been washed and conditioned.

It would generally take me over an hour to detangle it alone.

I used the one part apple cider vinegar and one part water with a few drops of conditioner in a bottle and I was through combing her hair from scalp to ends in less than 10 minutes.

Now, I just need to find a way to add a scent to the mixture to hide the vinegar smell. Any suggestions?

Is apple cider vinegar a good detangler for straight, fine, thinning hair?

starstarstarstarstar 		ACV really DOES work...just tried it today!!!
by: Anonymous

So I've been natural for 7 years plus have a 13 year old that is natural.

I had heard about ACV but never tried it. I bought every detangler you could imagine but not one of them did what ACV did.

I just tried it on my daughter who has a head full of hair, thick 4a hair that goes to the middle of her back. It worked so well on her yesterday, I thought I would try it on myself today.

I have been wearing a wash and go ponytail forever. I would see some tangles and ignored them sometimes. Well today I took my hair down and in the middle it was like I had locks. The tangles were BAD and my hair looked like a spider web with tangles everywhere. I had so much shed hair because I had not been great about taking the best care of my hair.

I would go wash it but detangle some of the knots but not get all of them, which of course made it worse.

Well today because of the ACV, I can honestly tell you that it took me less than an hour to detangle my ENTIRE head and get ALL of the tangles and shed hair out after months and months of tangles. This stuff is amazing.

I am a product junkie and went through my cabinet and tossed everything in the trash! I also tried a new line (By Made Beautiful) after the ACV and my hair feels great.

Give ACV a try. I mixed a water spray bottle with 1/2 water, 1/2 ACV and a few drops of conditioner.

After all these years, I finally have a go to detangler that 1) is cheap and 2) actually works!!!!

by: Karen McLelland (Lubbock Tx, USA)

I recently started loosing some of my hair due to getting steroid injections in my back for pain.

I ordered a shampoo and conditioned that's suppose to help my hair from not falling out.

After using the product it made my hair very dry and it matted up very bad.

Will (ACV) help me get the mattes out of my hair?

by: Jan L

Mom of 2 daughters, g-mom of 3 girls and 1 g-son. I am the official hair do-er.

Let me start with I am natural for almost 3 yrs. ACV is the best when I need a deep clean. I never thought to use it for detangling! For dandruff, yes, deep clean, yes.

My almost 3 year old youngest twin , born almost bald, finally has hair all over her head, back 'kitchen' is shortest and incredibly dry. She gets knots like we breath air! Her hair needs to be done at least every other day plus she is tender headed! I dread it!
Her hair is very fine yet when wet it curls up, 4a-4b.

I was at a complete loss as to ease the trauma we both go through, duh! ACV to the rescue!

I KNOW it wil work as I got sick in December and hadn't done my own hair for over a month, bad me. I sprayed the ACV mix on my hair and viola, no tangles and combed out like butter!

Going now to finish Izzys' hair from last night. Thanks in advance! She and I thank you! If it doesn't work, I will comment again, but I know it will! Hugs!

She is very tender headed and we have struggled for years to keep the knots under control, but they always return.

I just tried the 50/50 solution on some terrible, (after the water park) knots and they melted away!

I actually spray my hair with a bottle mixed with apple cider vinegar and water prior to washing and conditioning my hair.

Wooow ! This is AMAZING. AMAZING. Please try it !

I never post comments on anything. Plus I'm French, so I have to do this in English to be understood here xD

I have kinky hair, lots of volume and knots... was almost crying at each detangling session because of the damn knots which lead to breakage (and it's so painful too !)

And I tried 50% water and 50 ACV. My knots were like melting away so easily ! I was so pleased !!!
And the hair was very soft too.

I think you can hide the smell with some essential oils.

I really recommend this ACV recipe, the results were very encouraging on my 4B/C hair.

starstarstarstarstar 		Why Oh Why did I not try this sooner!!!
by: Jannet S.

I have been reading about ACV on Pintrest for a while now, but just have not given it a go till tonight! I want to smack myself for not trying it earlier!! Three years of fussing and fighting with my little one.... shoot, I am getting in the shower and using this on myself! Darn the smell. So I will smell like a pickle for about 4 hours... but after that no one will tell! I ran across this because I was looking for a natural alternative to conditioners. Being that conditioners have so many cancerous chemicals and make you have hair loss over time. I personally have had both. Cancer 16 years ago... and now the hair loss. Its like my hair is just loosing its strength from the root and just falls out by the ton at every wash. So I am estatic that this really does the trick for detangling and is completely natural!!!

My baby is mixed and possibly autistic... So on most days I just plain out avoid doing her hair!! Its so traumatic for her... and for me!! I tried it tonight right in the tub, just in case I had any problem I could rinse it right out. But no, I was able to detangle in a matter of min.!!!

I did a solution of 1 part ACV to 4 parts water. I have some already made in a glass jar on my bathroom counter mixed 1/2 and 1/2 that I put on my face as tonic... That works too!!

I started doing that to erase the pregnancy mask or spots/stains on my face that have been there since I got pregnant. I have been doing that for about a month now and they are starting to fade!! But what really surprised me was that it shrunk my pores too!!!

I swear, I am buying this stuff at SAMS from now on. I already use vinegar around the house for all sorts of stuff. Just one more use, I don't know why I doubted this. I should have known better! My conditioner is getting thrown out!!! No more added chemicals for this gal!!

Thank YOU!!

by: Anonymous

My daughter (6) is black, with very long, thick, dense, beautiful curly hair. She loves to swim, and this causes us great distress when its time to comb her hair. She is also very very tenderheaded. I've tried everything, and thus far, 2 bottles of Knot Today by Kinky Curly ($12 each) was the only thing that would sort of ease those tight coils.

With nothing to lose, I tried this. I did 1/2 cup ACV 1/2 cup Water and maybe a few TSP of 100% Coconut oil. I WAS LITERALLY AMAZED! Sprayed it on the section I was working, and I could use my fingers to unravel most of the tangles. She had a matted twist in the middle of her head, and it too combed out beautifully!

I recommend this home remedy!!! For the first time, combing and restyling her hair didnt come with murderous screams and never-ending tears. This time, she played her WII U while she got her hair done. Simply amazing!

After reading this blog about using Apple Cider Vinegar as a detangler, I finally used it on my 3 year-old daughter's hair last night.

Usually, the hair combing ritual is filled with screams and tears.

I used 1/2 Apple Cider Vinegar and 1/2 water in a small spray bottle. As I sectioned off her hair and sprayed it with this solution...I lightly brushed her hair and began plaiting her hair (she has afro-curly hair)...and NO TEARS!

It does work!

My real hair is really long and think almost to the middle of my back. However I never wear it down because I hate dealing with hair on daily basics.

My beautician wraps my hair in a circle with gel. After it dries it be brick hard! She then lays hair weave on top with glue in a circle motion. Finally she pins all the weave up tight and simple! I do this for a protection coat and so that I won't have to deal with my own hair. It last for 3months.

Took it down today, it grew and was very matted & tangled. Tried ACV and every tangle easily came right out,along with the old glue without pulling my hair. It works!

I NEVER leave comments, even positive ones, but I had to this time.

I'm always skeptical about things I read on the internet... even when I read positive comments. In the back of my mind I always think the people commenting are paid or friends of the author.

But, I can truly say this works!!! And, I have no clue who wrote this and I'm not making a dime.

The detangling process at my house usually consists of tears and yelling of pain. This time it was tears and yelling for joy. My daughter and I were truly floored!! All of these years and products, and the best was sitting in my kitchen!

When you spray it on the smell is strong, but honestly by the next day I nor anyone else smelled it on her. If you have a kinky-haired, tender-headed child like mine this will be a life safer!!

As crazy as it sounds, try it, you will be amazed!!!!

starstarstarstar 		Awesome detangler
by: Ashley from Columbus, GA

I decided to give this a try after researching detangling products that actually work and came upon this.

I was approaching 8 weeks after my last relaxer and my hair was slowly getting harder to detangler (since I try to go 3 mths between relaxers).
So I bought some ACV at my local grocery store for $1.50 (can't beat that).

I mixed it about 1/4 ACV and 3/4 water. I shampooed first, then I applied the ACV mix and rinsed and applied my conditioner. I repeated this step once more to be sure I was getting the detangling stimulation but also the conditioning. And also b/c I was leary of what my hair would smell like.

5 minutes later my hair was free of tangles after combing with usually take triple the time.

I'm going to try this again in another week to be sure it worked but I'm sure it did. It will last a while and it really works.

No more paying $10 for a piece of crap hair detangler from the beauty store, ACV for me now! Thank you!

I found that this doesn't work well for transitioning hair.

I have more relaxed ends than new growth right now & the relaxed ends are usually difficult to deal with but I was unable to detangle period and had to go straight to the blow dryer and start from the ends working my way up to the roots. I couldn't even section the hair off.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it works for the natural hair when all the relaxed ends are cut off.

I just tried ACV as a rinse to test after shampooing.

Well after my next shampoo, yes I noticed the detangling affect - I just started growing out my relaxer so I have unrelaxed roots and a lot more relaxed hair, so I noticed when I could comb through the roots easier. I thought maybe my conditioner was working better (probably was now after the ACV) - but after finding this site, I now know better.

ACV will be a regular routine for me after shampooing now and yes it also took care of my itchy scalp.

Don't know why none of the 50 million hairdressers I've seen couldn't providing this information; like they are so eager to explain to me about cutting or coloring my hair.

I went natural five years ago and it has been an ordeal. I'm tender headed and even though my hair thanked me for stopping the relaxers, it paid me back by being an unruly tangled mess.

My routine was grow it out, put it under a hat, don't comb (cuz it hurt) and cut back the tangles on and on.

I stumbled on this site a couple of months back and decided today to put the solution to use.

WHAT!?! After not combing my hair for two months, my hair detangled WITH EASE! NO LIE! I put a section up in two strand twists and went after the rest of my head. Then went back to the first braid to see if it retangled. IT DID NOT!

It's crazy. A $2.99 hair solution that my $13.99 conditioner cannot hold a candle to.

I AM COMPLETELY SOLD.

starstarstarstarstar 		Great detangler and shine
by: Anonymous

I have been using ACV for about 4 years now.

I have 4 girls and all of our hair comes to the middle of our back. We are African American and it is the best and only detangler for our hair. It also adds extreme shine.

However if you wear your hair curly you will not notice it, but if you blow dry and curl your hair with flat irons people will stop you and ask " how do you get your hair so shiny?"

I am not a hair stylist but I have gained several clientele just from the health of our hair.

Finally it reduces the split ends and breakage. I can go several months (about 6) without getting my ends clipped and when I go to get them clipped, I'm always told I don't need it.

Ladies I am not being dramatic when I say that using that solution has literally changed my life.

I have had natural hair the last 7 years and I rarely EVER allow anyone to comb it but me because I am SUPER tender headed and my hair is normally super TANGLED.

I have contemplated going back to a relaxer on MANY occasions but did not go through with it because my husband loves natural hair.

Well thanks to the information from Lakesha I can FINALLY comb my hair without frustration and believe it or not TEARS! LOL I read her information and ran to try it and just about died when it actually worked!

Thank you so much Lakesha for passing on this information..I will be calling all my natural hair friends in the morning!

I had to hold myself back from doing it tonight because it is one plus in the morning.

starstarstarstarstar 		Yes, It really is a great Detangler!!!!!
by: Elle

I was very skeptical about using ACV in my hair. I am an African-American woman, currently transitioning from the traditional relaxer to using the japanese straightening relaxer.

However, I have to grow several inches of new growth before I can get this new relaxer done.

I had forgotten how difficult and overwhelming my natural hair can be to manage. After reading the blog by Lekeisha, I decided to do some further research and just recently purchased a book by Bragg, ACV Miracle Health System.

I tried the Hair rinse mixture on page 26. This is a leave-in treatment for adding shine and body, but I found it was also great for detangling my hair and leaving my hair feeling soft and manageable.

In the book they recommend using 1/3 cup ACV to 1 quart of water mixture in a handy plastic bottle and I suppose you spray the mixture into your hair as needed. However, when I used this "leave in treatment", I diluted the mixture (I was still skeptical) by using 1/4 cup to 1 quart and I used the entire mixture; I did not towel dry my hair (trying to avoid further tangles) instead I twisted my hair and used a plastic shower cap to catch the excess water. Before combing, I twisted out the excess water and using a long/large teeth comb, I began combing my hair starting from tip and working up towards the root.

I was truly amazed that my hair was easier to comb through and that my hair did not smell like acv. Which was my biggest concern.

My hair had a lot of body, but the shine was dull. I plan to do this treatment again using Bragg's mixture. Hopefully, I will get the shine.

Hi there!

As an African-American woman with hypothyroidism (part of my problem includes loss of hair) I'd appreciate any information on how to use ACV to stimulate hair growth or even as a detangler for myself and my daughter's natural hair.

I do have a relaxer and my hair is quite short. I 'd like to know are vinegar rinses good for relaxed hair as well? How much ACV should be used or mixed in how much water? And how often?

Any feedback would be appreciated!
