Any potential risks?
Apple cider vinegar surely has a strong essence and is not suitable for every scalp. If after applying you feel itchiness and irritation then instantly rinse your hair. Because of its unpleasant smell, people seemed to feel nauseous, but one can thus make some homemade concoction and add aloe vera or rose water to get the right odour with a positive result. Also, do not use this formulation twice a week, but stick to the routine and only use it once a week as overuse might lead to irritation and dryness.
