Sometimes the best beauty secrets aren’t in expensive salon products—they’re in your pantry. One of these is apple cider vinegar, or ACV.
For centuries, it has been used for digestion, cleaning, and soothing sore throats. Recently, it has become a favorite in hair care, praised for reducing dandruff, restoring shine, and reviving tired hair.
But what happens if you leave it overnight? I decided to try—and was surprised by the results.
Why ACV is a Hair Care Star
-
pH balance: Restores scalp’s natural acidity
-
Build-up remover: Removes product residue
-
Anti-dandruff: Reduces flakes and itching
-
Shine booster: Smooths the hair shaft
-
Nutrient boost: Contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants
Overnight Test Preparation
-
Raw, unfiltered ACV
-
Spray bottle
-
Shower cap
-
Towel to protect pillow
Diluted 1:1 with water, patch-tested first, then applied across scalp and hair, cap on, and slept.
Morning Results
Hair was softer, shinier, frizz tamed, scalp balanced and itch-free. One treatment lays the foundation for healthier hair over time.
