Hair benefits of apple cider vinegar and green tea

Apple cider vinegar is made of apples, subjected to a fermentation process enriching it with live cultures, minerals and acids. Quite often, hair looks dull and frizzy, suggesting an alkaline state or high pH (power/potential of hydrogen) value. Apple cider vinegar has excellent antibacterial and antifungal qualities which directly targets dandruff on the scalp and reduces dullness. In addition, it is mildly acidic in nature and hence, helps restore the natural pH of the scalp which gets directly impacted due to the alkalising baking soda.

On the other hand, green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which nourishes your tresses. It also has conditioning properties that can add a healthy radiance to your hair, reduce dullness, and boost scalp health.
