While research doesn’t support using apple cider vinegar (ACV) for dandruff, anecdotal evidence suggests it may benefit scalp health. Potential advantages include balancing scalp pH, shedding dead skin cells, and reducing fungal growth. However, scientific proof is lacking. A 2022 review noted ACV might help with dry scalp, which can resemble dandruff, but the causes differ. ACV has antimicrobial and antifungal properties, potentially aiding skin health, though its effectiveness varies. For instance, it works better against bacteria than Candida yeast. To use ACV for dandruff, dilute it with water (2:1 ratio), apply to the scalp, wait 15 minutes, rinse, and repeat twice weekly. Avoid contact with eyes and discontinue if irritation occurs. Always consult a doctor before trying ACV treatments. While promising, more research is needed to confirm its benefits for scalp conditions.
