Apple cider vinegar is said to be very effective at getting rid of dandruff. But how true is that?
Some people believe that the acidity of apple cider vinegar helps to balance the pH of their scalp and hair.
They use it to regulate the action of the micro-organism responsible for dandruff, Malassezia Globosa.
But it's not that simple.
Yes, vinegar does affect the pH of the scalp, but this action is temporary. In fact, your scalp's pH is constantly changing, and the balance achieved only lasts for a short time.
It's better to use a shampoo containing an active ingredient that can tackle the root of the problem.
Head & Shoulders shampoos contain zinc pyrithione, an active ingredient repeatedly recognised by regulatory bodies for its antimicrobial properties.
The icing on the cake is that with the green apple scent of a shampoo like Green Apple, for example, your hair smells really good. The same cannot be said for vinegar!
