Apple cider vinegar has been touted for its many useful health benefits. Drinking it daily can help with everything from heartburn to regularity, and can also be used topically to help treat various skin disorders, including eczema and warts. It makes you wonder if there is something that apple cider vinegar can’t cure. Next thing you’ll hear, it can literally make you look 20 years younger.
Well guess what…
For all you men (and women) out there wanting to recapture the strong wavy locks of your youth, it turns out apple cider vinegar can help. That’s right, while it may not be exactly what old Ponce Deleon was after, apple cider vinegar can actually help reverse alopecia and shed a decade or two off your scalp.
That is how
Scientists now believe that the excessive buildup of DHT around the root follicle is what causes the hair follicles to die and become unable to produce new hair growth. DHT essentially builds up around the follicle like wax, obstructing its blood supply and causing it to shrink and eventually die. Organic apple cider can actually help dissolve this extra buildup of DHT around the follicle and promote new hair growth. Its acids and enzymes may also help eliminate certain pathogens associated with excess DHT and hair loss due to alopecia.
In addition to helping prevent hair loss, apple cider vinegar also helps balance the pH of your hair and scalp, which also helps prevent dandruff and leaves hair healthy and shiny. It will also kill any other bacteria from fungal problems that may be going on there.
You can find many natural shampoo and rinse products that use apple cider vinegar online or at your local health food store.
beauty advice
Keep a 16 oz bottle in the shower. To fill the bottle, pour in 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water, then add about 30 drops of essential oils. You can use a mix of sweet orange, palmarosa, and lavender. It will leave a nice scent on your hair and leave it very soft. Use just a small amount, let it sit for a minute, then rinse. The bottle usually lasts about 5 days before you need to refill it.
