Thank you.. I will be try this because I'm planning to braid my hair for the first time 😅 I'm nervous.. I do remember my head feeling itchy in the past when I got braids done
I'm getting my hair braided tomorrow so I went and bought 2 packs of braids rush home to watch your video. Your video was so simple and easy to watch. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for not wasting my time with a long drawn out video 🙏🏿💞.
@@user-ms3gi1wq4n it should dry within a day. Last time I hung it up in the car and rolled the windows down as I drove because I needed it dry faster lol smh
You did your thang on this tutorial. Quick, sweet, and right to the point. I didn’t realize it was alkaline that was causing the braid hair to itch. Great info! ✨💜✨
I've been doing ACV washes on my synthetic hair for years. I always sit the hair in water and conditioner after ACV rinses. ACV rinses tends to make the hair rough and by sitting the hair in conditioner and water, it add softness back into the hair. I also wash and rinse the hair in warm to hot water. I feel like cold water will not melt off the excess alkaline that is still on the hair after removing it from the wash.
Love it!! Simple and straight up. Unlike 90% of videos in RUclips where they talk and talk about stuff we don't care😅😅 Cheers from a sista in Panama💚💜💙
Wow I haven’t getting braids my entire life and have never washed the hair prior. I had no idea that alkaline was in the hair. You learn something new everyday
I normally don’t wash my braiding hair before but it’s helpful I’ve heard. Over the years, I gotten allergic to synthetic hair so doing this has helped with the itching.
I’m so happy I found this because I got my hair braided and within a week I was taking it down because it itches so much. my sister said well why don’t you wash the hair I didn’t know people used ACV to clean the hair
Thanks! I saw they have plant based safe braiding hair but it’s like $50 per pack or bundle. I cannot pay that price in addition to the braids. So this will work!
Apple cider vinegar is good for sooo many different things. I love using it! Super useful video, I will definitely do this next time before putting braids back in my hair!
I love how useful apple cider vinegar is. I have seen it used in so many ways. I have clip on hair extensions but I never washed them. I even forgot where they are now, lol.
I’m definitely going to do this today since I get my hair braided tomorrow. I’m going to add a lil shampoo once it’s rinsed tho lol. I’ve never washed the weave before & I always end up with so many bumps on my head & my head stay itching 😐 thank you so much 💯
I’m so excited to try this! I’ve been getting red bumps and I thought it was tension but I tried to be super careful and still got them. I think you just saved me! 🤗
People thought I was crazy when I said I wash my synthetic hair. I was my synthetic wigs in laundry detergant because it helps snap the wig back. I guess it has something to do with the fibers in the wig. But when you wash it , you will notice less itching on your scalp for sure.
You definitely aren’t crazy! I’ve never heard of or thought to do with detergent! That’s heavy duty. I’ve done with shampoo before but I bought some wigs from Amazon- I’ll have to try out the detergent
I’m sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about. People are obviously watching this video-it has 51k views. I’ve never complained about being a small RUclipsr- my channel is growing faster than I would’ve thought. Thanks for your engagement even though it makes no sense🤷🏾♀️
This is going to help I have psoriasis and any type of braiding hair irritates my head so bad that it don’t even last a month because I have to take it out. I am going to start doing this for now on to see if it helps. Can you do this to any type of braiding hair?
@@GabrielleIshell Would I be able to blow dry or sit the hair in front of a fan to help speed the process up. I am getting cornrows today, but the hair that matched my hair color is from a brand that itches and irritates my sclap. I woukd just like to speed the process up.
I’m getting my hair done next week and I’m glad the first video I seen didn’t let me down thank you , I do have a question 😩 when you do the washes are you only suppose to do one pack at a time or can I do 2 cause I have 5 packs and sure don’t want to get this wrong. Again thank you 😊 🤗
I’m definitely using this technique. I break out from whatever they spray on hair I’m skin is super sensitive. My face be breaking out so bad I can barely keep weave ( human hair) or braids in
It doesn’t smell that bad. Just make sure to rinse it off real good. Or you can use a shampoo to get rid of the smell if it bothers you. I’m not really sure about the different types of hair. I just bought a regular pack of braiding hair. I’ve actually never seen any that is labeled as itch free lol
@Adrianstrong- I can only use the itch free braiding hair and I haven’t experienced any itching from it. I came across this video because I want to get a crochet style and I know if I don’t pre rinse the hair, my scalp will be on fire
Super helpful! I have heard of this before, had never actually tried it. I need to though, because I always have to take my braid done real quick because they are itching so much!
I do hot, and i think it does make it kinda straight. Someone commented to do warm water instead! In my mind hot water = clean, so I do it like that lol
I use really hot water, but i think someone commented to be careful how hot it is because it could melt the hair or something like that. I've never had any issues with using hot water
I have never thought to rinse my braiding hair but then again...I get braids from someone who includes the hair...not sure if they rinse the hair though
The last time I got my hair braided by someone was two years ago. I liked it but my scalp didn’t. So I’ve been doing my braids ever since. This has made it so much better for my scalp
I've noticed when installing colored braiding hair it bleeds on to my clothes pillow cases its annoying AF does doing this acv rinse help with that as well???
Hi, i guess it could be products but in my case I've used all of the products before with no issue. The only new thing added to the equation was the hair
It was hot water, but I think someone commented and said to make sure it’s not to hot it could potentially burn the hair or something like that. I think you can do warm water

Do you do an ACV Rinse on your braiding hair before installing?!
Thank you.. I will be try this because I'm planning to braid my hair for the first time 😅 I'm nervous.. I do remember my head feeling itchy in the past when I got braids done
I am tomorrow. Thank you for this video♡♡♡
I wanted to help with my BestFriend's braids & crochet so i will come back to let you know if it felt better & how long it lasted for her.
@@unicron8soundwave724 yes! Please do! Hopefully it makes a difference
Used to before my locs felt so much better on the scalp

Omggg i did the same, how can I get the hair to dry in time for the appointment tmrw 😭
@@user-ms3gi1wq4n it should dry within a day. Last time I hung it up in the car and rolled the windows down as I drove because I needed it dry faster lol smh
Just got home and came here to see how to clean too!
If you don't have ACV, you can also use white vinegar it works just as well.😊
Thanks! Didn’t know that
You did your thang on this tutorial. Quick, sweet, and right to the point. I didn’t realize it was alkaline that was causing the braid hair to itch. Great info! ✨💜✨

I did this last night & noticed a huge difference after shampooing & putting conditioner on the hair.
How do you do it?? Do you just mix water and conditioner and let sit?? For how many mintues. And how do you dry it??
Love it!! Simple and straight up. Unlike 90% of videos in RUclips where they talk and talk about stuff we don't care😅😅 Cheers from a sista in Panama💚💜💙
Lol thanks! I do talk and talk in some other videos though lol
Wow I haven’t getting braids my entire life and have never washed the hair prior. I had no idea that alkaline was in the hair. You learn something new everyday

How long take to dry
A couple hours maybe. I didnt really time it. The last time I did it, I had to use my blow dryer to help me dry it because it wasnt done in time.
I’m so happy I found this because I got my hair braided and within a week I was taking it down because it itches so much. my sister said well why don’t you wash the hair I didn’t know people used ACV to clean the hair
nice! yeah, it definitely helps out!
Thanks! I saw they have plant based safe braiding hair but it’s like $50 per pack or bundle. I cannot pay that price in addition to the braids. So this will work!
I never knew they had alkaline coating on braiding hair. Ill definitely be doin this step from now on.
Here 2023. I’m headed now to beauty supply for outre braiding hair and will be washing just as you did. I NEVER knew this. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching! Glad I could help! :)
That explains why I broke out sooo badly when I had a sew in years ago. I didn't know a/b pre washing fake hair.
Apple cider vinegar is good for sooo many different things. I love using it! Super useful video, I will definitely do this next time before putting braids back in my hair!
Nice! Thanks for watching!
I’m doing some braids this Saturday. I will be trying this out today! Thank you for your tutorial 🤍
It's amazing how one little product such as apple vinegar works on so many things.
Yes! It has so many uses!
I am literally braiding my hair just now. I never knew this could be done. I guess I should have watched your video earlier. Thanks for sharing
Yeah, my scalp was really sensitive to the alkaline on the braiding hair. I was so glad when I found out about this! Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate how concise and to the point this was! Exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm loving how simple and easy this is. I will certainly do this next time. This makes a lot of sense.
Yes, very simple! It really makes a difference!
A cost efficient way to clean your braids love the tutorial hun tfs.

My daughter loves getting her hair braided but she breaks out so bad from the hair! Thanks for this tutorial, I will be trying this soon.
You are so welcome!
I recently braided my own hair and it itches a lot
I think I’ll have to do this before braiding my next time
Thank you for sharing
Great video. This is exactly how I learned to clean synthetic hair from the video MIIX MI did 4 years ago.
Thanks! It truly does make a difference!
I’ve had issues with this ever since my childhood so I’m definitely going to try this. Thank you so much! I’m subscribing😍 2:58
So many great uses for apple cider vinegar. Didn’t even realize that there was a coating on synthetic hair. Great job showing the technique.
Yes! Apple cider vinegar is great! Thanks for watching!
Helpful tutorial. Would love to have seen the hair once it dried
great tutorial girl! looks so efficient and easy to maintain this routine
Thanks. Definitely easy to do and makes a difference in how my scalp feels after adding the hair
This was so helpful, I always get itchy scalp once I get braids, I’ll definitely be trying this!
Great! Thanks for tuning in!
This is so good to know. I've been thinking about braids, but my head itches so bad. I see why now. I wi certainly prep first.
thanks for watching! I was glad to learn about this because my scalp would be really itchy and sore when i used to have other people braid my hair!
I’m so excited to try this! I’ve been getting red bumps and I thought it was tension but I tried to be super careful and still got them. I think you just saved me! 🤗

I do this all the hair I get. My scalp has become inflamed with some hair brands. So this is great.
Thank you so very much, I have never been one to keep braids in because of the irritation..
Trying this on Thursday after my exams ❤
Acv is good for so many things. I never thought to prep the hair this way but will definitely be doing next time I braid my daughter's hair! Tfs!
Yeah, it sure is!
Thank you for this. I have tried so many other alternatives. This looks like it will do the trick.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this in the summer I did this and was amazed…… thank you so much
❤️ thanks for watching!
Straight and to the point . I loved this , very nice vid
thanks!
gotta love ACV! its so good for many uses. nice tutorial!
Thanks
Great tip! This helped me with the itching

Well that’s because this comment was meant for a totally different video. I apologize that this made it under your video by mistake.

thanks. yes, ACV is so useful!
Such great healthy tips, Apple cider is amazing.
This is my first time learning about this. Thanks for the info, I’m definitely going to clean my braiding hair going forward.
No problem! Glad I could help! It really does help my scalp.

@@ariannahawkins5945 sorry, I didn’t see this yesterday. I’m sure you could’ve done that to speed it up. What did you end up doing?
@@GabrielleIshell I blowdried the hair and the drying process went by pretty quickly. Thank you for the video🤗
Thank you for this. I’m about to bread my hair and this was really helpful. ❤❤❤❤
I learned the hard way my scalp was hella itchy. Apple cider wash is a MUST
Great video. Very thorough and efficient. Thanks!
thank you
I’m getting my hair done next week and I’m glad the first video I seen didn’t let me down thank you , I do have a question 😩 when you do the washes are you only suppose to do one pack at a time or can I do 2 cause I have 5 packs and sure don’t want to get this wrong. Again thank you 😊 🤗
Hey Gabby just stopping by to say hi and yes otherwise my hair will be very irritated
Hey, yeah my scalp gets irritated too! So glad this helps
This reallyyyyy helps. I hated getting my hair braided bc my hair would it’s soooooooo bad. I soaked my in AVC with a little baby soap
🙌🏾🙌🏾
I'm about to do my hair today,last time my face hived up so this time b4 watching video I said I'm start washing my hair
I needed this. Thank you so much.
This is super good to know and I know a few people I am going to forward this to.
Thanks very helpful. I was always itchy.
I’m definitely using this technique. I break out from whatever they spray on hair I’m skin is super sensitive. My face be breaking out so bad I can barely keep weave ( human hair) or braids in
@@Thelovelylifee 👀I have the same issue did this method help keep your face from breaking out?
Thank you cause my briads be itching like crazy. It's itching right now. Inky been in 12 days and looks like a month already
I have never done this...but I am going to because it itches me sometime doesn't know it wAs because of the Alkaline
Wow, this was very fun to watch! I am sure it takes a little extra care especially with braids. Great demonstration
yes, it is! thanks!
Okay when you hang it up to dry it dosent get tangled sorry doing this my stylist have any issues
It didn’t get tangled when I hung it to dry - it was when I washed it that I had to be the most careful
Very nice video and am sure we all learnt very quickly. ...question can white distilled vinegar be used?
Thanks. I don’t think so, I learned to used acv with the mother to do acv rinse
Yes white vinegar can be used. I use it and it does the same job. It's cheaper too
This was very informative. Thank you for demonstrating the technique so we know how to do it properly. Thank you for sharing!
thanks!
Thanks for the demo girl 🔥
thanks for tuning in! glad you enjoyed
Thank you so much!!!! This is the EXACT hair I bought on Amazon and it itches SOOOOO much!! What did you say should be in the apple cider vinegar?
It’s called “The mother,” it’s the stuff at the bottom that makes the bottle look cloudy! Its supposed to have beneficial bacteria in it
does it smell afterwards? also would you recommend this for itch-free synthetic braiding hair?
It doesn’t smell that bad. Just make sure to rinse it off real good. Or you can use a shampoo to get rid of the smell if it bothers you. I’m not really sure about the different types of hair. I just bought a regular pack of braiding hair. I’ve actually never seen any that is labeled as itch free lol

Super helpful! I have heard of this before, had never actually tried it. I need to though, because I always have to take my braid done real quick because they are itching so much!
Thank you my dear 🤗
Good old acv
Yes ma’am!
Thanks for the video, will this work on a curlier texture synthetic hair?
I’m not sure. I’ve only ever tried on this type of hair
Thanks will do. 😊
Did you wash it with hot water and acv? Will the hot water make the hair straight like when you dip the ends after it’s braided?
I do hot, and i think it does make it kinda straight. Someone commented to do warm water instead! In my mind hot water = clean, so I do it like that lol
What temp water do you use for it to soak in?
I use really hot water, but i think someone commented to be careful how hot it is because it could melt the hair or something like that. I've never had any issues with using hot water
Can you use this technique on hair that's already bradied like the Boho braids?
I personally haven’t tried it. If you do, definitely don’t use hot water- it straightens the hair. Maybe try on one piece before doing a whole pack
I started to buy the pre-washed hair. I never thought to wash it myself.
I didn’t even know that they sold it pre washed!
Also did you do your current braid style yourself? And if so did you record it ??
Yes ma’am! I did the braids and recorded it! I hope to put the video up next week
@@GabrielleIshell yay ! I’ll be looking forward to watching it
I have never thought to rinse my braiding hair but then again...I get braids from someone who includes the hair...not sure if they rinse the hair though

Thank you girl ❤
No problem! Thanks for watching
What acv to water ratio did you use?
I never measure- I just pour a little bit
Does this work for French curl braids extensions as well?
I’m not sure about curly hair, I’ve never tried. Maybe if you end up trying, don’t use super hot water- it might permanently straighten it
Hey sis I was wondering if you do this in the beginning can you still style it with hot water at then?
Yes ma’am! I put curls on the ends of mine using boiling water to seal and hold the curl and they turned out perfect!
Do you use cold water or warm?
I've noticed when installing colored braiding hair it bleeds on to my clothes pillow cases its annoying AF does doing this acv rinse help with that as well???
Hmm that’s a good question. I’m not sure though, I usually still to dark brown
@@GabrielleIshell yes indeed 😊
Hey I was wondering if it’s the products as well that cause the itching?
Hi, i guess it could be products but in my case I've used all of the products before with no issue. The only new thing added to the equation was the hair
Hi, what temp water do you use to mix with the vinegar at the start please?
It was hot water, but I think someone commented and said to make sure it’s not to hot it could potentially burn the hair or something like that. I think you can do warm water
Can this be done with the Freetress curly hair that mixes in bohemian braids?
I’m actually not sure. I’ve only ever done it with straight hair.
Do you need to do this for human braiding hair as well ?
I’m not really sure. I’ve only ever tried with kanekalon hair
I don’t have braids I barely have hair on my head lol but good Tutorial
lol thanks for watching!
About how long for the hair to air dry? Does curly hair take longer to dry?
I usually leave it for at least two hours. I think its a little damp at 2 hours, but I was still able to use! Not sure about curly hair.
Does it hold a smell
wait guys can I wash the curls too? Because i’m getting goddess braids
I’ve only done it with straight hair…not sure about the curls. I prob wouldn’t do it
Can you use this method on Brazilian wool?
Hi! Cold or warm water??
Warm water
Have you tried this on prestretched hair?
Make sure we get the apply cider vinegar with the what in it?
The mother, it’s the murky stuff at the bottom of the container
Do you have to let it dry completely?
This can be with any type of synthetic hair right??
Not quite sure. I only do it on straight hair- never done it on spring or passion twist hair.
I had NO idea that they put alkaline coating on hair. That is such a strange thing to do! I'm sure it would cause lots of people to have reactions.
yep, to preserve the hair from going moldy - didnt even know it could get moldy
Can great value apple cider vinegar work??
As long as it has the mother in it! That's what I was taught to look for when choosing which one
