What is Acid Hair Rinse?
It is a question of using a liquid with an acid PH to balance the scalp and tighten the cuticles of the latter.
Cider vinegar in rinsing water has restorative and cleansing properties and helps to remove limescale from the water. It makes the hair shinier, softer and closes the scales of the hair fiber.
Perfect for porous, difficult to detangle, dull hair and for all hair types.
Ultimately, cider vinegar coats the hair like silicones in industrial shampoos.

Bonjour, je me demande si on peut utiliser de l’eau du robinet avec le vinaigre de cidre (pour le rinçage) ou bien mieux vaut utiliser de l’eau de source ? (mon but étant d’évite le depot de calcaire)
Merci d’avance
