I am so thankful I found your channel. You have answered questions that I have not had answered from hair care professionals or from google. Thank you so so much
I did my first apple cider vinegar rinse a couple of weeks ago and it made my coarse hair SO soft, man it felt great. I plan on doing it once a month or so. I think it’s important for anyone considering that to invest in some ph test strips. PH is a logarithmic scale, meaning a ph of 3 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 4. I used the proportions you mentioned and my rinse came out to be 4.0 but I’ve seen some other ACV rinse recipes online that use just a little more ACV but which would be much more acidic - it doesn’t take much in my limited experience to push it out of a safe range. Better safe than sorry - I strongly recommend mixing it up and testing it before applying it.
Thank you Tracy for mentioning the strips. I completely forgot to mention them in my video. They are so easy to get and very easy to determine your pH on most any liquid.
@@kristinelegg9627 chemically relaxed hair and the yellowing you are experiencing is from the chemical damage. It really cannot be undone as it has damaged the hair color below the surface. I would not recommend using baking soda or vinegar on chemically treated hair simple due to the alterations in pH. Your hair pH has already been raised by the chemical process and you don’t want to keep shifting around that scale. You would find better results using a purple toning and deep conditioning mask. Hope this helps you. 🌟💎 Shine On! 💎🌟
@@cchand5211 yes. If your hair takes more than two hours to air dry you likely have a lower porosity hair. If your hair dries quickly it is often a higher porosity. quicksilverhair.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-hair-porosity-does-it-really-matter/

This is great information! ❤
You’re welcome!!! 🤗
Do you think the baking soda clarifying recipe or apple cider vinegar recipe would be safe to use on chemically relaxed hair?
My grays always have a yellow tinge one I’ve chemically relaxed, though I only do it about twice a year.

Can you have coarse hair and it be low porosity?
@@cchand5211 yes. If your hair takes more than two hours to air dry you likely have a lower porosity hair. If your hair dries quickly it is often a higher porosity.
