A diluted solution combining fermented apple juice with other ingredients, designed to be applied to hair after shampooing. This preparation aims to smooth the hair cuticle, potentially enhancing shine and manageability. It is used as a natural alternative to commercially produced hair conditioning products.
The perceived benefits stem from the acidic nature of the solution, which may help balance the scalp’s pH and remove residue buildup. Proponents suggest it can lead to softer, less frizzy hair, while also potentially addressing issues such as dandruff. The practice of using acidic rinses for hair care has historical roots, predating modern synthetic conditioners.
