Green tea and apple cider vinegar rinse
The issue: Irritated scalp. While green tea has a laundry list of health benefits, you can add scalp soother to the list, says Sadah Saltzman, a hair stylist at Salon AKS in New York City. Thanks to its antioxidants and nutrients, this powerful ingredient calms and rebalances an irritated scalp. Peppermint oil is the perfect complement; it has anti-inflammatory properties and helps soothe and hydrate a dry scalp.
Ingredients: 1 cup of green tea, 2 drops of peppermint oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
Directions: Mix well, massage into scalp and let sit for at least five minutes before rinsing.
