Rosemary and Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse

I love making this Rosemary and Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse! It is super cost-effective, easy to make and it actually works.

In the past, I’ve blogged about how you can use simple ingredients from your kitchen for a DIY face mask, the beauty uses of Epsom salt, and other natural beauty topics, so sharing this hair rinse with you is a no-brainer.

I’ve been using this hair rinse a lot lately because my hair is color-treated. Plus with the weather change from winter to spring, I felt like my hair and scalp needed an overhaul.

This rosemary and apple cider vinegar hair rinse is just the thing to get my hair back to a healthy state.

Reasons to try this hair rinse

Try this rosemary and apple cider vinegar hair rinse if…

Your hair has a lot of product buildup and residue
The hair is brittle and damaged
Your scalp is flaky or itchy
Hair is dull and lack-luster
Your hair is thinning

Why make your own hair rinse

Most commercial shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments promise to solve all of your hair problems but they are often expensive and filled with hundreds of chemicals, sulfates, and parabens. They create the illusion of silky, shiny hair but in the long run, just add to the damage.

Most of these products also strip the natural oils from your hair and dry out your scalp. No thanks!

I love this hair rinse because…

This rinse is so so so good for your hair. It features two ingredients that feed nutrition into your hair and scalp. The more I use it, the more I notice how shiny, silky and healthy my hair is. My scalp also feels refreshed and flake-free.

The star ingredient of course is rosemary. Rosemary smells so herbaceous and fresh. It’s been around forever in the Mediterranean and is believed that Mediterranean women used rosemary in different preparations for their long, gorgeous hair.

I’ve combined this rinse with raw apple cider vinegar because AVC is where it’s at for shiny, silky hair! You need AVC in your haircare routine as of yesterday!

Note: make sure to use unfiltered, raw apple cider vinegar that contains the mother culture like this one! Very important.

AVC makes hair shine! Combining rosemary with apple cider vinegar in this hair rinse is just a match made in heaven.

Let’s talk benefits…

Here are some key benefits of rosemary for your hair:

There are so many ways to use rosemary and apple cider vinegar in your haircare routine but the easiest way that I have found is by making this DIY hair rinse.

Check out this easy recipe below.

How to use rosemary and apple cider vinegar hair rinse

Wash your hair with your regular shampoo as usual. Squeeze out the excess water from your hair. Squeeze or spray the rinse all over your hair focusing on the roots and scalp section by section. Leave the mixture in your hair for about 15 mins or longer. You can shave or do a body scrub while you wait.

Tip: Try using a squeeze bottle like this one for easy pouring.

How often to use

I recommend that you use this hair rinse 1-3 times a week depending on how much time you have to work it into your routine.
