When you wear locs or braids, a useful wash-day plan starts with the directions for the exact cleanser you have chosen. Set aside time for the entire sequence, including the rinse, rather than planning only around applying the shampoo.
Check the product before starting
Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo is a 100 ml rinse-off shampoo whose listed directions specifically refer to locs and braids. The supplier's selected ingredients include glycerin, aloe barbadensis extract, and apple cider vinegar. Check the complete ingredient statement and warnings on the package.
This is a formulated shampoo. Do not treat its name as a recipe for applying household vinegar, or assume it has the same directions as another product containing apple cider vinegar.
Follow the listed sequence
- Thoroughly wet the locs or braids with warm water.
- Apply an appropriate amount of shampoo to the hair.
- Gently massage the scalp and the spaces between braids.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all foam has been removed.
The package instructions take priority if they differ from the online listing.
Finish your routine deliberately
Have your usual drying supplies ready before washing so the next step is straightforward. If you receive care instructions from the person who installed your style, keep those in mind when planning maintenance and ask them about anything specific to that style.
