DIY Apple Cider Vinegar Conditioner


  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1-2 weeks supply

Description

Transform your hair with this simple homemade conditioner blend, perfect for battling buildup, boosting shine, and balancing your scalp. Achieve salon-worthy results with everyday pantry ingredients.


Ingredients

  • 1 part raw, unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (with the ‘mother’)
  • 34 parts your favorite hair conditioner (choose one suitable for your hair type)
  • 35 drops essential oil per 1/2 cup of mixture (optional, e.g., lavender, rosemary, tea tree)

Instructions

  • Gather a clean, empty squeeze bottle, measuring spoons, ACV, your chosen conditioner, and essential oils if using.
  • Pour your chosen conditioner into the clean bottle. For every 3-4 parts of conditioner, add 1 part ACV. Adjust the ratio based on your hair’s needs and sensitivity (e.g., 1/4 cup ACV to 3/4 – 1 cup conditioner).
  • If desired, add 3-5 drops of your preferred essential oil(s) per 1/2 cup of the mixed conditioner.
  • Seal the bottle tightly and shake vigorously until the ACV and conditioner are thoroughly combined and no separation is visible.
  • After shampooing and gently squeezing excess water from your hair, apply the ACV conditioner blend to your mid-lengths and ends, and optionally to your scalp.
  • Distribute evenly, using a wide-toothed comb if needed, and let it sit for 2-5 minutes.
  • Rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water until your hair feels clean and free of product.
  • Store any remaining mixture in a cool, dark place and use within 1-2 weeks for best results.
