Liz wonders if its ok to clean her hair and scalp with water and vinegar.
#1 Vinegar is acidic and will work best as a rinse for shiny and smooth hair
Vinegar rinses are only helpful for increasing your hairs ability to retain moisture and to also bring shine and strength back into your hair. Vinegar is not a component that cleansing the hair and scalp effectively from dandruff, dirt and product build up, surfactants (cleansing agents) are better for cleansing your hair and scalp. The preferred vinegar to use is apple cider vinegar when doing a vinegar rinse on your hair.

#2 Surfactants cleanse the hair such as coco betaine or sulfates
The only component to cleansers that are meant to lift dead skin, dirt and product buildup from your scalp and hair is if surfactants are present. If you hair products contain water resistant ingredients such as silicones and petroleum, then a stripping cleanser is required similar to using sulfates. Sulfates are never suggested for daily or frequent usage unless you need to lift certain products from your hair. For suggested shampoo recipes or products.
#3 The alkalinity of shampoos safely raise the PH for a safe cleanse
Your scalp has a PH of 4.5 to 5.5 and the alkalinity of many shampoo products has a slightly higher PH than the PH of your scalp. A higher alkalinity allows for your pores to open and your cuticles to lift which do a number of things such as; releasing product build up, dandruff and dirt from your pores and scalp. For suggestions on shampoos and other products, check out my books to learn how ot create your own homemade products or use the suggested lists of ingredients to help you purchase your best hair care products.
