How to use vinegar for hair? Vinegars can be used alone or mixed with other products to create a DIY recipe. At WAAM, we offer 3 different vinegars: - Hibiscus which is purifying, astringent, soothing and makes hair shine - Nettle which is purifying, anti-oxidant and detoxifies oily scalps - Lemon which is purifying, protective, hair beautifying and anti-blemish To make hair shine Vinegars are very popular with hair. They make it shiny by neutralizing the limescale present in our shower water. The natural acidity of vinegar tightens the hair cuticles, and its acidic pH helps reduce porosity and improve its appearance. After rinsing your shampoo with clean water, dilute 50% vinegar in 50% water for a final rinse. Your hair will be easier to detangle, shiny, and soft! Try our recipe for a rinse for dull hair! To stimulate hair growth Always diluted in water, vinegar will be a real ally for your hair growth. The organic acids present in vinegars prevent the appearance of dandruff and allow for a healthier scalp, thus promoting hair growth. Use it as a scalp massage, in circular movements from the bottom to the top of the skull to further stimulate your blood microcirculation and thus allow optimal irrigation of the hair follicles. Favor cold water in your dilution, to stimulate microcirculation. To protect colored hair Contrary to popular belief, vinegar is a true ally for colored hair. Lemon vinegar protects colored hair. The naturally acidic pH present in vinegar helps close the scales and thus maintain the coloring pigments inside the hair. In addition, lemon is an excellent source of antioxidants, which helps prevent color oxidation, especially for blonde hair. It revives the shine of your blonde and prevents the color from dulling caused by limescale. Great, right? Pssst... find our recipe for rinse water for colored hair here!

For a radiant complexion and purified skin Vinegars are particularly recommended for oily skin with excess sebum. They help cleanse and purify the skin while toning it.
