How to use ACV treatment

As Hair Rinse: Mix 1/3 cup of ACV (75ml) with 1 quarter of water (1 litre) in a clean plastic bottle, use mixture to rinse hair after shampooing, you can also add few drops of essential oil to your ACV rinse, pour content to hair and let soak for 2-3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, this will leave your hair shiny, light and soft.

As Head lice treatment: Brush child's hair with a mixture of Olive oil & lavender oil, apply small quantity to a tiny section first to test for allergic sensitivity or skin reaction, if no allergies, then saturate hair with Olive oil, cover with shower cap for 5-6 hrs. Olive oil application clogs the breathing pores of the lice since lice cant hold its breath for more than 4 hrs, then add your ACV rinse and comb out lice eggs from hair shaft with a fine tooth-comb, wash hair with mild shampoo and check child's hair after 2 weeks to be sure lice is gone.

As Dandruff treatment & itchy scalp relief: Apply ACV to scalp, massage and cover with plastic cap for 30 minutes before washing your hair, you can also add 2 tsp ACV to cayenne powder and apply to scalp overnight, wash with mild shampoo in the morning, repeat treatment to clear scalp off dandruff totally.

As Teeth whitener:  Mix 1 tsp ACV with a glass of water and use as mouth wash for your teeth and gums daily to help reduce deposits & also help whiten your teeth dramatically Or mix 3 parts ACV & 1 part water with your regular toothpaste, brush teeth with mixture first, then brush teeth once again with just toothpaste to remove any Cider vinegar residue, this is a more effective method to whiten your teeth and prevent bad breath.

As a facial/skin toner: Mix 1 part ACV with 2 parts water in a clean bottle, shake mixture well and apply to freshly cleansed skin using a cotton pad, let dry then apply your daily moisturizer. Store mixture in a cool dark place.
