Sometimes too drying
I like the smell and the consistency. Id say it works because it leaves my scalp feeling very light and fresh despite feeling at bit drying at times so I only use 1x a week or sometimes 1x every 9-10 days

Details & care
What it is: A gentle, clarifying rinse that leaves your scalp nourished and hair feeling incredibly soft.
Who it's for: All hair types. Safe for color-treated hair.
What it does: This game-changing rinse gently removes buildup that can clog scalp pores, suffocate hair follicles and weigh hair down. It promotes a healthy scalp microbiome and balances pH levels while reducing excess oil production. It enhances shine and softness while nourishing with natural ingredients, and it improves styling results by helping styling products perform better.
Key ingredients:
- Certified organic apple cider vinegar: a natural antibacterial that gently cleanses and removes buildup, balances pH levels and allows scalp and hair to retain moisture
- Black tea kombucha: a natural source of caffeine known to stimulate stronger, longer and thicker hair, enhance radiance and shine and nourish scalp and hair with antioxidants, vitamins and probiotics
- Niacinamide: a powerful ingredient that reduces sebum (the main cause for oily scalp) and helps to increase protein synthesis (also known as keratin), which in turn promotes stronger and healthier strands
- Aloe vera: An ultrahydrating and nourishing ingredient that soothes, deeply conditions, repairs dryness, combats irritation and itchiness and leaves hair smooth and shiny
- Lemon oil: naturally purifies and detoxifies, helps rebalance the production of oils, reduces hair breakage and softens hair
How to use: Apply a small amount onto scalp and hair. Massage scalp, lather well and rinse thoroughly. Follow with deep conditioner or hair mask.

Not much difference
I make an apple cider vinegar mixture at home due to the water. I do not see much of a difference using this product. The application was nice and using it was easy, but the results were not the same as the homemade product.

OG curly girl had great results!
I’m an old fashioned curly girl. Been wearing my natural curls the majority of my life, way before curly hair products existed. As a result, I don’t like all of the fussiness being thrown at us now. My routine was always simple, including products with short ingredient lists, and the more natural the better. Anyways, this is the one product that I have stuck with besides the clay rinses. This gets my hair and scalp feeling nice, clean, with no irritation or extra heavy chemicals and butters. I do think that if you have a heavy buildup, it will take some time and a few washes to get it working. This is more of a detoxing than clarifying treatment and I love that. Wish they had more products like this.
