Otherwise, you can end up with really dry hair that behaves funny. That would not mean that clarifying did not work; it may mean in actuality that it did work, but one needs to condition as part of this kind of hair wash. Not everyone's hair responds well to ACV rinse as kind of moisturizing the hair. ACV is mostly for re-setting the pH of the acid mantle (scalp skin). If you have light colored hair, do not use ACV; instead, use white vinegar or lemon juice diluted the same as ACV--around 2-3 Tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice in an 8 oz cup of water.
