Scalps don't get much love. I've never had a buddy nudge me and say, "Hey. Check out her scalp." But we all have scalps. They are there, just under our hair. Our scalps can be a source of consternation when they become afflicted with dandruff. Well, I've got good news for scalps across the land. That good news is eco-friendly Apple cider vinegar. It can bring some much-needed love to the scalps of the world.

  1. Apple cider vinegar can eliminate dandruff. Apply diluted apple cider vinegar-50% water, 50% apple cider vinegar—to your scratchy skull. It will unclog your pores and reduce your dandruff.

  2. Apple cider vinegar is eco-friendlier than dandruff shampoos. Shampoos are filled with chemicals. Those chemicals don't disappear when you wash them down the drain. They head right into the ecosystem, poisoning fish, making water undrinkable and increasing algae growth where we don't want algae growth.

  3. Apple cider vinegar can be used as part of an eco-friendly alternative to head lice medications. If pesticide-filled head lice medications can wipe out a colony of insects in a single application, it can't be that great for the person who owned the head on which these insects died. Apple cider vinegar lice treatments may not be as convenient, but they won't damage you or your scalp.

  4. Apple cider Vinegar clears gunk, natural oils and build-up from your hair and scalp. It can also treat acne on or off your skull.
