***As a final rinse
When I want to be double sure the hair's cuticle is closed, I do a final rinse with ACV diluted in water. Also, when I Co wash, I like to use the vinegar to act as another rinse. Somehow, my hair feels smoother when I do that meaning the cuticles are closed.

****Scalp Cleanser
Though there are divided views about Apple Cider Vinegar as a cleanser, that is like a shampoo, I, have personally seen how effective it is on the scalp. So, even if it can't clean the hair itself, when it comes to cleaning the scalp, this stuff is the truth! For ladies with dandruff, using acv diluted on the scalp would help get rid of it.
***Clay treatment

Adding apple cider vinegar to your clay mix adds to controlling the acidity of the mix. The pH of clay like bentonite is said to be around 8-9 which is high for our strands. The Vinegar lowers the pH of the clay.
I always have apple cider vinegar in my stash.
