dpHUE Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse, 8.5 oz - Shampoo Alternative, Scalp Cleanser & Post Workout Rinse - Removes Buildup & Sweat - Protects Natural Hair Oils

I've had an aggravatingly itchy scalp for the last few years. This product helps immensely.I wash my hair twice a week, once with a clarifying shampoo and once with this rinse. I use this rinse in conjunction with a leave in pre scalp treatment.My protocol: after wetting my hair, I part it in several places and simply dab this on my entire scalp.(Others here have commented on troubles with the dispenser. It takes some adjusting to fully open, so I simply leave it in that position to avoid struggling with next use.)This product is runny, keep that in mind. Wouldn't want to get this in the eyes due to the ACV.I proceed to scrub with a pronged scalp massager and allow this to work its magic while I shower.The lather is minimal but refreshing. It's enough to soak the remainder of my long hair. I then rinse with cool water.After towel drying my hair, I spray on a leave in conditioner.I notice no lingering ACV scent post wash, but it's minimal in general.My hair is very soft and incredibly shiny post wash. My hair looks as if I have applied a professional glaze, really pretty in the light. My scalp is noticeably less itchy and feels/looks much cleaner.My hair is mid back, and the ends have remnants of former highlights. These areas are noticeably refreshed, and detangling is a breeze.I used to scratch my head constantly. Since using this product my discomfort is drastically reduced and getting better with each treatment.Great product, my hair and scalp love it. Will continue to purchase.

I’ve used this product for years and keep a bottle on hand at all times. It’s wonderful for inbetween wash days. It cleans but isn’t as stripping as shampoo or heavy as conditioner. The scent is very neutral.

I was using a different brand of ACV hair rinse as a shampoo. I think it was from Cantu, and it was discontinued. It was available at every drug store in the section for "ethnic hair" (just a note - i am Irish, Italian, French and Polish - what's with the "ethnic" label? Aren't we all "ethnic"? 🫣😁).The Cantu brand was inexpensive and I liked it because when I use it on a regular basis, it left my hair with NO product buildup, no dandruff and no itchy dry scalp. They discontinued this miracle product and that just ruined my day!But - I have since found the perfect replacement - the dpHUE brand ACV rinse, which is AWESOME!I think it is almost the exact same product, because it works just as well, has the same ingredients, smells the same.My only problem is the outlandish price for the largest large bottle (32oz I think?) Why? Cantu was 9 bucks for the same size - even with inflation, 20 bucks would still be okay, but 59 bucks? So this is my once a year treat. I would love to buy this every month but its far too expensive. The price will drive this company out of business and that's a shame. I don't want to lose another quality product because the company that makes this is greedy. ACV is not an expensive ingredient. Maybe I will produce my own rinse just for me.Anyway, about THIS dpHUE ACV HAIR RINSE:It's has a very watery consistency, so be careful. It will run right off your scalp if you apply too much at once. Once applied to dry scalp I gently massage it into my scalp being careful not to tangle my hair. I let it sit for ten minutes. After 10 minutes, I add a water a little bit at a time, enough to work it into a lather. I work it through the length with my fingers first, and then I use a paddle brush to gently smooth it to the ends. It lathers up very nicely.When I use this rinse, my scalp stays fresh and clean. No itch, no flakes.It says it's a rinse, but I use it as alone with no other products and I treat it as a scalp treatment first. The tip allows precise application right to the scalp - it's very watery so be careful not to pour too much at once because it will just run off. Applying gingerly to a DRY scalp is probably better for some with thinner hair. a damp scalp will help your scalp to "absorb" the important ingredients. So, after a 10 minute soak, I lather it up, and gently brush it thru with a soft paddle brush, then I work it through my hair like a shampoo, let it sit another 3 minutes, and then rinse with cool water. COOL WATER RINSE IS IMPORTANT!IT LOCKS IN THE STUFF YOUR HAIR NEEDS! and cool or cold water helps make your hair shiny! I DON'T USE anything else AFTER I RINSE - no conditioner, no shampoo, detangler or what ever. I end up with soft, shiny hair with a sweet fresh scalp! Just lovely! I don't need a conditioner or detangler because this leaves enough slip to comb or brush my hair with little or no problems with the knots. Just don't force the comb or brush, and start at the ends working your way up. My Hair is thick and frizzy and tangles viciously- but with this rinse, it happens no more!Also, dpHUE's other products are amazing. All of the ACV line is a must have for once a week deep clarifying shampooing, conditioning and moisturizing.The acv shampoo gently clarifies with no residue - and leaves hair smooth and manageable - not "squeaky squeaky " kind of clean - more like a conditioned deep clean!The acv hair mask is out of this world - leaves your hair deeply moisturized!The dry spray-in shampoo is equally as awesome and quite handy! The ACV smell on all the hair products goes away, leaving you smelling fresh!The acv scalp scrub really gets in there to loosen debris, dirt and flakes. It moisturizes the scalp as well as invigorates it, encouraging growth!I really love this line of haircare products. I don't think I even tried all the acv line yet, but I can safely say that when I can splurge, this is what I will be splurging in for my hair.My hair is quite unruly, wirey/curly, dry hair with oily scalp (not so much as I get older). I get terrible knots if I just turn my head. My hair is also highly chemical resistant to hair color, straightening/perm products. Usually, the hair chemical hair straighteners have a required neutralizer to stop the chemical reaction. I learned over time not to use the neutralizer if I want the product to straighten my hair properly. I do not recommend that anyone try this - always follow the directions unless you are have a degree in chemistry and you have a beautician's license my hair is not porous and it has always been a pain-in-the-butt especially in humid weather. This acv line of products seems to make my hair much more manageable, shiny, smooth and moisturized without oiliness or buildup. I really like that. They also sell kits with everything you need for travel. These kits have small containers of these products so you can try them out maybe 2 times. Great for a weekend get-away.My only complaint is the high price, hopefully they will address that, because the product is just perfect and should be attainable for everyone, not just wealthy persons.This product actually makes me like my hair, but unless it gets a job and brings me home a paycheck to pay my rent, I can't justify the high price.I went for the big bottle this once, because I ran out of it. The flakes and itchy scalp and knots came back! So for me, the price is worth it at least once every 6 months. I just have to figure something out when I run out of it! 😊Consider trying this in a small size. If you have problems with itchy flakey scalp, this will stop it. It leaves your hair soft, shiny and very manageable. You will not be sorry. Don't let the "apple cider vinegar" ingredient or acv smell throw you off! The smell goes away, the acv is so so good for hair and scalp!Enjoy!

The product is excellent but way over priced for the ingredients in my opinion. I probably won't buy again because I made my own that is surprisingly just as good with less acv because it really does smell strong to me. I thought the no suds would bother me but it really does clean well and your scalp feels squeaky clean. I still use a conditioner afterwards because my hair is very dry. I can honestly say my hair and scalp feel clean and washed with less damage. So many "great" and expensive shampoos out there are alkaline and therefore especially damaging to processed hair. Acv helps to restore correct pH balance while setting in color instead of stripping it.

I use this rinse when I want to clean my hair without shampooing or when my scalp is dry or irritated. Once it is rinsed out the ACV scent is not detectable & I’m able to comb my hair without conditioner. My hair is curly & fine, so being able to comb it without conditioner is highly unusual. Once my hair dries it is soft & any frizz is tamed.This is one of few products that I prefer to never live without.

I use it once a week or so to help reset my scalp and hair. It helps clean up any residue by your roots. It leaves the hair feeling a bit stiff. By the next day, you definitely want to shower with regular shampoo as this product has oil added to it. It has a pretty strong odor while you use it and you definitely don’t want it getting in your eyes.

love this product.. makes my hair and scalp feel clean and leaves my hair soft .. I use once a week to break up using shampoo
