   Once or twice a week I substitute ACV Rinse for my shampoo and conditioner. This apple cider vinegar rinse is a great gentle cleanser. It’s supposed to rid the hair of dirt, sebum, and build-up, strengthen the hair, and make it shiny. My hair is somewhat damaged from chemical treatments. I don’t see miraculous results, but it does a good job of clarifying my scalp. My hair feels very clean after I use it without looking frizzy.

   There are only two things I don’t like about this product: the price and the smell. ACV Rinse costs $35 for 8.5 ounces. I don’t use it every day, yet I’m more than halfway through a bottle that I bought last month. So I go through this product faster than I would use up 8.5 ounces of shampoo.

   I have never liked the smell of vinegar. Even though the odor of apple cider vinegar is more tolerable than plain white vinegar, I still hate it. I can really smell the vinegar in this as I’m washing my hair, and it’s unpleasant. For this reason, I decided to try R+Co’s similar product, Acid Wash.

   R+Co’s Acid Wash is even more expensive ($32 for 6 ounces) but it smells a hell of a lot better. So I prefer it from that standpoint. However, Dphue’s ACV Rinse does a slightly better job of conditioning my hair.

   I actually thought this worked amazingly. I got a sample and read the directions that said to work it in wet hair, leave it on for a little and then lather it up and then just follow with conditioner. I felt it cleaned well without stripping. I DON’T like clarifying shampoos for the most part because my hair is really dry and dyed and stripping shampoos like that tend to break it more. But this was really gentle and effective and it didn’t have the smell. That kind of matters because regular ACV you rinse and rinse and it still sort of lingers inside especially if you have really thick hair.

   However, it’s expensive as hell. So I just use regular ACV when I need to clarify without stripping. If you’re loaded, I would try it. I have a friend who loves it as well and buys the full size, but said he uses a lot at a time (I personally don’t think you need THAT Much, but maybe more than you would use for shampoo) and that it comes out kind of fast so you have to be careful it doesn’t spill out too much. It also said to let it sit in the wet hair for a few minutes, which may conserve/lessen the amount you need for those those who do want to try it.

   This rinse is amazing!! It’s supposed to take the place of both shampoo and conditioner and this is how i used it. It leaves my hair with loads of slip and it smells incredible, thanks to the essential oils in it. It’s a clarifying formula that removes product buildup easily, even the dry, gritty crap from dry shampoo. It leaves my hair super soft and very shiny. It’s a very watery consistency but it doesn’t take much to do the job. Application is a little tricky though. Squeeze the bottle at several points around the scalp. The rinse will trickle down to the underneath section and the length. You will immediately feel the slip so you’ll know if you used enough. If you have really long hair, squirt a little bit extra on the length, just to make sure all your hair is covered. Massage it in for a few minutes. It doesn’t lather but it does feel slightly slippery like shampoo.

   This product made my hair incredibly bouncy and it held a curl very well so I know all the buildup was removed. I use this every two weeks or so, whenever I need to clarify. It’s definitely a luxury product and the results are similar to Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil sulfate free clarifying shampoo with apple cider vinegar. However, you will need to use a conditioner after the SM shampoo. The matching one is excellent. But I like the ease of this rinse and using just one product instead of two. I also really like the way the Dphue rinse smells. My hair is color treated so I have to always use sulfate free clarifying shampoo, which don’t strip my color. But this Dphue rinse delivers high wattage shine. I didn’t need a separate conditioner and it didn’t leave my hair dry whatsoever. It was easy to comb through and it was light and fluffy so I know that all the dry shampoo and styling product buildup was eliminated.

   Yes, this rinse is expensive and because it’s so watery, it easy to use too much. Err on the side of caution. It just doesn’t take much product per application. Right now, I’m using this rinse in place of my usual SM JBCO shampoo and conditioner and I’m enjoying the change. I’m on my 2nd bottle of Dphue rinse and loving it. It’s a great option for color treated hair and thanks to the ACV, it leaves my hair with high wattage shine. Also thanks to the ACV, it restores the ph balance to my hair and scalp, which is a very good thing. This rinse is a novelty and a very unique product and I’m totally loving it. The first time I used this rinse, I wasn’t all that impressed and I wrote a review here, giving it only three lippies. However, once I saw how gorgeous my hair looked once it dried, I knew this was a different kind of product. Yes, the $35 price tag means it’s a luxury but I don’t use it that often but when I do, I always get phenomenal results. I’ve used SM JBCO shampoo for years and I do love the matching conditioner but neither of these two products gives me as much shine and bounce as the Dphue rinse. The watery consistency threw me off at first but now I know I don’t need to use much. Once I realized this, I got many more applications from the bottle. It’s also perfect for color treated hair and nothing in my hair care arsenal smells as nice. I definitely recommend this rinse for all hair types but it’s a godsend for colored tresses. It’s effective and you only need to use one product instead of two. That makes it all the more economical. If you’re used to buying HE hair products, you might want to consider trying this one. It’s exceptional.
