    Did you mean Apple Cider Vinegar?
    Glossary Apple Cider Vinegar

    Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a fermented liquid made from crushed apples and is often touted for its potential health benefits, including its use in hair care. In the context of hair loss, ACV is believed to help balance the scalp's pH, remove product buildup, and promote a healthier environment for hair growth. Its key distinguishing characteristics include its acidic nature, which can help clarify the scalp, and its rich content of vitamins and minerals that may nourish hair follicles. However, while some anecdotal evidence supports its use, scientific research on its effectiveness for hair loss is limited.
