Are you tired of scratching your hair because of dandruff? Don’t think too far, apple cider vinegar can fight off dandruff.
Although apple cider vinegar is used to cook meals like salads, it is also a valuable home remedy because of its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Apple cider vinegar is gotten from fermented apple juice.
It is made by crushing apples and squeezing out the juice and letting it ferment for three-six weeks. Fermented apple juice then turns into acetic acid, known as vinegar.
Although, you do not have to make it yourself, you can buy it in the supermarket.
Research has shown that apple cider vinegar reduces dandruff by balancing the PH level of your scalp, shedding dead skin cells and reducing fungus from growing in your hair and scalp.
