We've all heard of the miracles apple cider vinegar can perform on our hair, and according to natural hair bloggers, coconut oil is the answer to everything wrong in life.

You can use apple cider vinegar as a substitute for shampoo.
FALSE: Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is great to use as a clarifying rinse, and has been known to be able to fight some fungal scalp issues. But it's important to not use it too often, such as using it in place of shampoo. ACV alone is very acidic and using it as often as you would your normal shampoo can completely screw up the pH balance of your hair, making your hair very brittle and causing it to become incredibly dry over time. This eventually leads to breakage, severely split ends, and loss of length retention.
When diluted and used about once a month, ACV can clarify your hair very well and leave it shinier than before. Not to mention, it really gets those curls popping! To properly conduct an ACV rinse, be sure to mix one part ACV to three parts water. Diluting the ACV this way is healthier for your hair longterm and significantly reduces the potential for a counterproductive experience.
