The post-shampoo rinse that resets your hair. Removes mineral buildup, balances scalp pH, adds shine. The smell fades, the results don't.

What You'll Need

Step-by-Step

  1. In a 250ml jug/bottle, combine 2 tbsp raw ACV + 1 cup cold water.
  2. Add 10 sprays Rosemary Hair Spray (masks smell + adds actives).
  3. Use: after final conditioner rinse, pour slowly over scalp and lengths; distribute with fingers.
  4. Shake gently.
  5. Massage scalp 1 min (mild acidity smooths cuticle = ACV shine).
  6. Rinse out thoroughly with COLD water after 1 min (drying if left, for beginners).
  7. Style; vinegar smell fully dissipates as hair dries.
  8. Frequency: Weekly (clarify) or fortnightly (shine).
  9. Storage: Mix fresh each time.

Pro Tips

Cold final rinse seals cuticle + locks shine. Great for hard-water areas (mineral buildup = #1 dullness cause). Add 5 drops lavender EO if smell bothers you.
