Does apple cider vinegar promote growth?

Thanks
My scalp has been itchy and flaky lately too, that is part of it; I was thinking that maybe the ACV was promoting healthier scalp, thus better growth.

In that case, it may have been. I guess the only way to know for sure is to use it again.

Well, I don't think it will stop your growth at any rate. Humans have been growing hair without dumping ACV on it for a long time so I would say that it sounds suspiciously like a coincidence. But that is just my two cents. Good luck.

I don't think that hair cannot grow without it, that would be silly. I do think, though, that it may have kept my scalp in better condition, therefore had better growth while using it. I just wanted to know if others had experienced better growth with it or not.

Yes, that makes good sense!

I don't think it increases growth per se, it just improves existing scalp conditions that slow down the growth.

Edit: It won't make your hair grow faster than it already does, it just helps clear up a number of scalp conditions.

which promotes growth which was my original question

Well, if it is just the chemicals in the apples, then maybe you could get a similar result with apple juice?? It would smell better at any rate. I am no chemist though and I know that vinegar is supposed to be nice for hair so that is probably a sticky, not so good idea.......

On the other hand, maybe it is your wash method that is making the itchy scalp worse?? Do you ever change that up, or consider changing it up?

^^^ This here is me brainstorming so feel free to tell me I am crazy, I have heard it before.

I don't know what the deal is, because my hair has not been very happy lately (flat, not as bouncy and wurly, not as nice feeling), and my scalp hasn't been very nice - plus the not-much-if-any-growth thing. I've changed up my routine, I've clarified, I don't know what's up. The only thing I can think of, is maybe it's the weather? It's gotten pretty hot lately, and very humid.

Thanks for brainstorming with me , I appreciate it

It's got nothing to do with the vinegar at all. Hair doesn't grow at a steady, constant pace. That's all. It's not uncommon to see a month with little to no change in length.

Grr.. like this month. :/
