I'm wondering if my hair is still too short to benefit from a vinegar rinse. The longest layer is just reaching my shoulders. Should I use one soon? How often do you use it? Thanks!

My mother grew up always doing vinegar rinses, regardless of the length of her hair.  

Vinegar rinses will help remove product build up from your shampoo.  It is particulary good to use if you have hard water.  The vinegar will help remove the soap/shampoo from you hair.

It's true - hair of any length can benefit from vinegar rinses. The goal is to remove any sort of build-up, be it from S & C's, styling products, hard water, etc. etc. It also works quite well for treating dandruff.

It also doesn't matter whether you use apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar. The result is the same. Just remember that a little goes a long way.  ;)

Thanks, Angelspun and Bikerbraid. Now I can go vinegar it up! I'm trying to start good hair habits while it's growing out. Plus it gives me something else to think about my hair, other than how it grows slowly (or how impatient I get.)  ;)

Aww, you're welcome, roomtogrow.

We all get impatient. hehe Hang in there.  ;)
