Hi
Like so many others with dreads I have dandruff. I`ve seen that several people has recommended using Apple Cider Vinegar to solve this.
I was wondering if this also means that I can take ACV capsules?
Will it have the same effect?
Pretty desperate at this point.
I've never seen ACV capsules, but from what I can imagine, they wouldn't work for your hair. It sounds like they would be for changing the pH in your stomach. ACV as a rinse is what changes the pH of your scalp. If you don't have a stomach problem, I would avoid messing with its pH balance at all costs
Baba Fats is right, but I wonder something. When people take garlic pills etc, the garlic aroma sometimes comes out when they sweat. Apple Cider Vinegar has a strong aroma of its own, would a person sweat out the smell if they took these! Just something that made me go hmmm.
Nope! I drink Bragg's Raw ACV (the stuff with the 'mother' in it) every single day, and it has a lot of great health benefits and gives me a lot of energy! however, eating it won't have any effect on your hair, and if I sweat I don't smell any of it. The ACV treatment for you hair is when you actually wash with it? I believe that acts almost like a conditioner if i remember correctly when you use it with the baking soda, it pretty much makes your head feel like a 4th grader's volcano science project (10x more fun than regular shampoo in my opinion :P) and to be honest it makes my hair feel even cleaner and softer than normal shampoo ever did before i started dreading.
The oil and water mixture melanie rose was talking about also works wonders for the itchies!! good luck ^_^
