You are watching: Rosemary and Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse
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!

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.
