Apple Cider Hair Rinse for Dry, Itchy Scalp

It really helps when I want to refresh my hair and scalp after the toll that dry, cold hair and holiday styling has taken on it.
Rinsing with this Green Tea Apple Cider Vinegar Hair rinse always leaves my hair and scalp feeling so much better.
Don’t worry, once your hair dries you don’t notice a vinegar-y smell.

Benefits of Green Tea
Green Tea is a fantastic antioxidant and natural antiseptic. It can help restore balance and soothe irritated skin.
Green tea can also help stimulate hair growth, reduce shedding, and calm dandruff and psoriasis.
Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar aids in supporting healthy skin and hair.
Used topically on the scalp, it exfoliates dull, dry skin, adds body to your hair and makes it nice and shiny.
It also restores the pH balance of the scalp and discourages overgrowth of malassezia furfur, the yeast-like fungus thought to trigger dandruff.
Make sure you purchase a high quality apple cider vinegar.
I like this apple cider vinegar from Bragg Live Foods best.
It is available at most grocery stores, but you can also order online.
Benefits of Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary can stimulate hair growth and slow shedding, helps with dandruff, and gives hair body.
Benefits of Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender stimulates hair growth and calms dry, itchy scalp. It also has a relaxing scent!

In addition using this Green Tea Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse once or twice a week, make sure to eat a balanced diet.
Include plenty of healthy fats, protein and leafy greens (like these Kale Chips) and keep hydrated for optimal hair growth and scalp health.

I don’t have any apple cider vinegar, but could you use other types of vinegar? Like white vinegar for example?

Do you store the leftovers in the refrigerator? I did not, and there appeared to be mold growing in the jar. Is there a way to avoid this in the future?

I did not store mine in the refrigerator, but it would be fine to do that. I haven't had issues with mold.
