The Benefit of an Apple Cider Vinegar Aloe Vera Co Wash on Natural Hair

Natural Black hair maintenance has a reputation of “being a lot” as it relates to the amount of effort required and the quality of product necessary to get that final look we all strive for. Unsurprisingly, Natural Black hair does best with natural products, and because Natural Black hair has a tendency to be on the dry side, the effort of keeping it constantly moisturized can sometimes be more work than some of us are willing to put in.

There are, however, three magical ingredients that can make your maintenance process much easier and your outcome well worth the effort. Aloe vera, Apple Cider Vinegar and Coconut oil. Let’s take a moment and discuss those three ingredients, get a better understanding of what each does any why they combine to make a great co wash.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant that is highly revered for its medicinal and healing properties.

Aloe vera’s hair benefits:

Anti-inflammatory properties.
Aloe Vera contains fatty acids responsible for calming an itchy scalp and helps curb the spread of dandruff.

Promotes hair growth.
Due to its ability to increase blood flow to the scalp, Aloe Vera helps hair grow faster by reducing dryness, frizz and breakage.

It is a great deep cleaner.
Aloe Vera is a great cleaner, it’s not harsh like chemical cleaners, and helps get rid of excess sebum in extremely oily hair and excess styling products.

Repairs damaged hair.
The presence of vitamins A, C, E, B-12 and folic acid are major contributors for healthy cell growth, shiny hair and reduction of hair loss. It also acts as great sunscreen and protects hair from harmful sun rays.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

ACV is a commodity that is always a staple in every household due to its numerous uses around the house. It’s also a hair cleansing agent for any type of natural hair as it has numerous benefits including;

Clarifying hair.
ACV helps remove excess oil, gunk and product build-up that weighs down hair giving it life. ACV gives hair more volume with fewer products and a clean scalp to go with it.

Relieving itchy scalp.
Due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, ACV helps prevent the growth of bacteria on the scalp. Persons suffering from dandruff greatly benefit from ACV as it relieves itchiness and inflammation by balancing out the pH in the scalp.

Promoting hair growth.
Because of its ability to regulate pH and unclog pores, ACV stimulates hair growth by cleansing the scalp and opening the pores to new growth.

Protecting color.
Its ability to add shine and smooth out the hair cuticle is unrivaled because of the enzymes found in the fermented apples. These enzymes which aims at the cuticle, help condition and protect color-treated hair from breakage and retain shine.

Virgin Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is one of the most powerful moisturizing carrier oils with plenty of benefits for the hair and skin.

Some of the benefits of coconut oil;

Acts as a conditioner.
Coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft with ease conditioning it from the inside making it soft and easy to manage. Applying coconut oil before washing, ensures easier detangling and keeps oils from being stripped away by the shampoo after wash.

Acts as a moisturizer.
Due to its ability to easily be absorbed by hair, coconut oil is a great moisturizer and helps to add shine by reducing frizz and breakage thus retaining both moisture and length.

Reduces protein loss.
Hair is made up of protein, but the protein content is lost every time you wash your hair. Coconut oil however, is the only oil that helps in the reduction of protein loss in hair making it stronger.

Has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Coconut oil promotes scalp health by fighting off lice, insect bites and even dandruff.
