For the past two weeks, I applied the ACV rinsing after washing my hair hoping to resolve its super oiliness. But the next day I always experience this weird itching close to the top of my crown 
If I stop using ACV, the itch stops. I don't wish to stop using ACV because it does help a bit in controlling my hair oiliness.
FYI, I add 3-4 tablespoon of ACV to 1 litre of water. |

I would have to say if your scalp is itchy then stop using ACV. There are plenty of shampoo/conditioners out there to help with oily hair. |

 Try doing a patch test on your arm or leg. Just dab a tiny amount of ACV on the area. Next day if it is itchy or irritated I would no longer use the ACV rinse. If you find you have no reaction from your test you might be experiencing some scalp stimulation/exfoliation. |

Northerngirl, I know I should stop but I'm just hoping the itch is going to get away by itself after a while...
I've tried different sorts of shampoo for treating oily har, of course. But lots of them are quite harsh to my hair.
Well, I'm trying out something new soon if ACV just isn't for me  |

Thanks for the idea, Winnie! I'm gonna test it tonight. Will report back.
Lola Moroney - I've friends who have benefited a lot from using ACV especially for controlling dandruff. Lots of rave here on EDS too. Note that it is *diluted* ACV at a factor of 25 or more (for my case). |

I have been using ACV for scalp for about three month with positive results. The dandruff practically disappeared, and the scalp "feels" better. Right after I wash and towel dry my hair, I lightly spritz just the scalp, and massage it a little. I do not rinse off ACV, and even do not dilute it. I use Bragg ACV, but going to try other brands. |

The ACV could be drying to your hair. What I did was add a few drops of either rosemary or lavender oil to my shampoo. You might want to pour some in a small container and then add a few drops of the essential oils. It works great to control the oil in my hair. I found rosemary dried it up and lavender apparently balanced the oil secretion. I wouldnt use both only one or the other.
Or try getting plain shampoo and essential oils from Escents. They can give you more info on how to do this. |

it really depends too on the quality of your water--acv and hard water do not mix well! if you have minerals in your water you may be exacerbating the problem with acv.
i find a few drops of rosemary eo added to my shampoo and washing my hair upside down, massaging well, really helps with cleanliness and health of my scalp.

| I was using AG shampoo all the time and liked it untill my skull became itchy all of a sudden. So I switched to SkinBio shampoo and organic conditioner and now everything is fine. |

| I added the ACV to my shampoo but after awhile I noticed that my hair was getting drier and a bit frizzy so I stopped. |

I'm reporting back for the ACV rinse issue.
Recall that I was experiencing scalp itch during my first week of ACV rinse. Then, I rubbed some ACV on my thigh and left it overnight for a "sensitive test" as suggested by Winnie. Nothing happened. So, I resumed the ACV rinse. In the second week, I still experienced some itch but very little. Then, absolutely nothing for the third and fourth weeks.
Why? Well, the culprit for the itch I experienced initially was due to the extremely dry weather during my first week of ACV rinse! The humidity rate was only about 25% and that was it. When the weather was back to normal, ACV rinse just works so fine.
ACV makes my hair softer and it controls partially the oiliness of my scalp.
Another reason that I'm using ACV is hoping that it may help reducing the evil hard water effect. For this matter, avalange, do you still have this trouble or you find a good solution already? Or anyone else experiencing good results using ACV for this aspect? |

I use a little ACV in a liter of water as a clarifying rinse once in a while. I do it after shampooing and before conditioning. If I do it last, I can smell it during the day, and I don't want to smell like ACV! It does really leave my hair soft and shiny.
Nicolette: Your best bet is a water filter for your shower. They are not too expensive, are easy to install, and are so worth it. You won't believe the difference in your hair and skin. |

| I use an ACV rinse to help keep build up off my hair, from hard water and styling products. I only do it once every other week. I dilute it-- one part ACV, two parts water. I squirt it on wet hair, massage it into my scalp, and let it sit for a awhile. Then, I shampoo it out, and use a deep condtioner. Lately I've been adding lemon oil, just because I have it, and it helps to control flakiness. I'm thinking of picking up some rosemary and lavendar for this purpose. |
