Stop Your Hair Loss with Vinegar

People have been using apple cider vinegar (ACV) for hundreds of years as a food and as a medicine for themselves and their pets. From the time of Hippocrates, who used a vinegar and honey mixture as an energizing tonic and healing elixir, to modern authors who tout its health benefits for everything from acne and allergies to sinus infections and high cholesterol, acid reflux and chronic fatigue to weight loss and even premature aging. ACV apparently does it all. (Heck, you can even clean with the stuff.)

Needless to say, I couldn't research everything apple cider vinegar can do and everything you can do with it (although I hope to do more in the future), so in this article I'm going to focus on ACV and... hair. ACV can make your hair look healthier, but what's more, many claim it can stop hair loss

There are several theories about what causes unhealthy hair and hair loss. Many experts believe it is caused by a poor metabolism. Some believe it's caused by an unhealthy scalp and conditions such as dandruff, psoriasis, and seborrhea. Still others believe that hormones are the main culprit in hair loss.

I don't know of any way that ACV can affect hormones, but it might be able to relieve the other two suspected causes.

If you believe that your hair loss might be the result of a poor metabolism, there have been several instances in which a few teaspoonfuls of ACV a day over the course of several months have stopped hair loss. The remaining and new hair was also thicker and healthier.

A variation on taking ACV "straight" is beginning the day with a glass of water to which you've added 4 teaspoons each of ACV, black strap molasses, and honey,

Maybe you have an unhealthy scalp. Modern diet and the chemically derived ingredients in commercial shampoos can contribute to this. Your scalp can harbor bacteria, fungus, and yeast, all of which can play a part in scalp irritation and hair loss. If you think this might be your case, vinegar can possibly help in a number of ways. For one, vinegar has a tonic action and encourages blood circulation in the capillaries. To get this benefit, rinse your hair with an ACV and sage tea mixture.

If you'd like to try the vinegar rinse, here are the recipe and directions:

Mix 4 ounces of ACV (organic and not over-processed is best) with 4 ounces of water. To that mixture add ten drops of sage essential oil. Pour the solution on your hair, being sure it makes contact with the scalp. When finished, wrap your hair with a towel and leave the solution on your hair for at least 30 minutes. Rinse and shampoo as you usually do. This treatment can be repeated every day, but should be used at least once a week. (Do note that vinegar is acidic and can dry out your hair; if this occurs, you can use a conditioner to alleviate the dryness. Also, you should avoid using this rinse if your hair is colored or chemically treated.)
